"Douglas Hodge [is] inhabiting, enlivening and almost exploding the title character...[He] doesn’t so much take the stage as the whole theater."

Ben Brantley, the new york times

Tony Award® winner Douglas Hodge (La Cage aux Folles) dazzles Broadway audiences again in this delightful new production of the timeless classic Cyrano de Bergerac, directed by Jamie Lloyd (The Royal Court Theatre’s The Pride). Also starring Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Patrick Page (A Man for All Seasons).

Cyrano is a nobleman with a tremendous wit and an enormous nose. All of Paris adores him except for his true love Roxane, who can’t see past his all-too-prominent facial feature. Instead, she falls for a handsome young cadet named Christian. But when Christian admits he’s tongue-tied with Roxane, Cyrano gives him the romantic words guaranteed to win her heart. With Christian’s looks and Cyrano’s language, it’s a foolproof plan! Or is it?

"The production...is a buoyant, eye-filling delight, benefitting from Jamie Lloyd’s vigorous staging and a highly playable translation by Ranjit Bolt..."
David Cote, time out new york

An enduring masterwork with some of the most ingenious lines ever written for the stage, Cyrano de Bergerac is a clever and touching story about the power of love, the art of wordplay and the joy of finding what you’ve always wanted right under your nose.
