Set to star alongside the previously announced X-men star James McAvoy (Cyrano) are Adam Best (Le Bret), Adrian Der Gregorian (Montfleury), Anita-Joy Uwajeh (Cyrano's love interest Roxane), Carla Harrison-Hodge (Denise/Medic), Chris Fung (Usher), Eben Figueiredo (Christian), Kiruna Stamell (Marie-Louise), Michele Austin (Ragueneau), Nari Blair-Mangat (Valvert), Nima Taleghani (Ligniere), Philip Cairns (Referee), Sam Black (Armand/Priest), Seun Shote (Theatre Owner), and Tom Edden (De Guiche).Ĭompleting the West End of Cyrano de Bergerac are Brinsley Terence, Mika Johnson, and Vaneeka Dadhria.Īnita-Joy Uwajeh is perhaps best known for starring in Twelfth Night at Shakespeare's Globe, Fury at the Soho Theatre, and in the Duke of York's production of King Lear. But this is a very good one too.Full casting confirmed for Cyrano de Bergerac showing at London's Playhouse Theatre It's not the best take I've seen that would be the one with Gérard Depardieu. In between those, they find a lot of beautiful scenes to shoot, looking like ancien regime paintings. Nonetheless, Wright and his cameraman, Seamus McGarvey, understand that the songs in a musical are about what's going on inside the performers' heads, and use a highly mobile camera to obliterate the space. I'm not fond of the music for the songs, which seem to be largely recitative, and only one song had first-class lyrics: "Where I Fall". As Christian is a kindly if slow-witted young fellow: a perfect tenor for Grand Opera. Haley Bennett as Roxanne is enchanting, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. Once, however, you accept this, his expressive features reveal everything about the character. Dinklage is a problematic choice, given that someone his size would not have been enlisted in the French Army in this period. In casting Peter Dinklage as Cyrano - without the nose - director Joe Wright has expanded the character's touchy honor to all the physical slurs people undergo that's not a bad idea.
I don't know how accurate the story of his duelling ten people in one night was, but no one ever called him a liar on it while he lived. De Bergerac was a French officer with an enormous nose, who wrote excellent poetry, dramas, and even a novel about a trip to the moon. but in drawing the character of Cyrano de Bergerac, was accurate.
Rostand's play is a durable one, even if it does seem implausible.
