Review: CYRANO at CAA Theatre When it comes to adaptations of French playwright Edmond Rostand’s romantic tragedy Cyrano de Bergerac, you can take your pick of the nose.

Review: CYRANO at @mirvish.bsky.social CAA Theatre takes a chance on radical optimism #theatre #theaTO www.broadwayworld.com/toronto/arti...

Poster of Cyrano, a play by Virginia Gay, currently on at the CAA Theatre in Toronto. The poster depicts two women at the base of a classical statue against a white background. Cyrano is a white woman with shoulder-length blonde hair wearing denim and black boots. Roxanne is a tall Black woman with natural hair. She wears a red and white patterned sleeveless dress. The title Cyrano is in red capital letters on the left side. A quote reads “A joyous gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac with music, wit and aching romance.”

Cyrano was delightful! #TheaTO
