REVIEWS:
“This Cyrano de Bergerac finds its footing through dynamic performances, imaginative direction, and a striking blend of old and new. Burns’s vision brings Rostand’s story to life in a way that resonates with today’s audiences, highlighting the timeless nature of love, wit, and poetic rebellion.” - Broad Street Review
“J. Hernandez is superb as Cyrano. He is not some mythic figure, but a real person. From boasting one moment to painful anxiety and lying the next, we care about this man.”
- Burd Reviews
“The leading performers are outstanding. Any CYRANO will rise and fall with the leading character, and J Hernandez has everything. He is noble, witty, firm when needed, gentle when required, and most importantly, he suffers nobly. The audience’s heart goes out to him from his first entrance. Hernandes dominates the stage as any great classical actor must. He is spectacular.” - Philadelphia Theater Arts
“Colorful language shares the stage with physical spectacle. Under director Alex Burns, the many ensemble sword fight scenes are a choreographic wonder.” - CHL
“This is a must-see production that makes one laugh, and think, while it pulls at the heartstrings.” - Delco Culture Vultures
