This Cyrano is both heartwarming and a challenge to heteronormacy…it pulls you into its vibrant and vivacious energy.
—BroadwayWorld
Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room—a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she's deeply ashamed of something about herself.
Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan, who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. (Probably shy, right?) Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it's not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it's Cyrano…
A joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Edmond Rostand's classic play, Cyrano is a love letter to hope; to language and desire; to the lo-fi magic of theatre.
Gay's fleet script has a swoony yet muscular and consistently meta-theatrical wit…a giddy and sensitive celebration of love; a feel-good romp full of deep pleasures that seem to reach beyond the space in which we experience them.
—The Times
Enormously uplifting and infectiously sweet. This is theatre at its most happy-making.
—The Stage
Dazzlingly clever…witty, knowing, satirical and heartfelt all at once.
—Financial Times
A sizzling and hilarious twenty-first-century comedy…A damn near-perfect night out.
—Scotsman
A mighty hoot…Told with buckets of goodwill.
—WhatsOnStage
Sparkles with wit and intelligence…Brims with sensuality.
—Daily Mail
Sparky…delicious…powerfully erotic.
—Reviews Hub
Full of warmth and joy…brings Rostand's play into the 21st century.
—London Theatre
A glorious, sensual play…Cyrano wears its heart, mind, and soul upon its sleeve, and it's difficult not to find yourself enchanted by it.
—All That Dazzles
Bold, unapologetic, and powerful, this Cyrano is a must-see for anyone seeking a fresh, thought-provoking take on a timeless story.
