Review: Peter Dinklage stars as the title character in a musical adaptation of 'Cyrano de Bergerac'
lavish “Cyrano,” which stars Peter Dinklage as the impassioned poet-soldier, one of the hero’s friends, and his captain in the King’s Guard, refers to Cyrano’s “unique physique.” It is and it isn’t. By now audiences have seen so much of Mr. Dinklage, mainly thanks to “Game of Thrones,” that he’s the best kind of known quantity—a formidable artist and certified star who invests every role with power and feeling. What’s unique here is the pairing of actor and character.
The production, set in the 17th century and shot—by Seamus McGarvey—on the island of Sicily, is an expansion of Erica Schmidt’s stage version of “Cyrano de Bergerac,” the 1897 play by Edmond Rostand. In the film, as in the 2018 Goodspeed Opera House production of the play, Roxanne is played by Haley Bennett.
