We enjoyed this production so much. The whole cast was fantastic. Loved the modern approach.

This was a good production, well acted - but the innovations over-complicate and detract from what is already a strong plot.

Saw this a few times to help with work - beautiful adaptation and seeing it more than once really helped me to grasp it thoroughly x Loved the minimalistic approach. Not what I was expecting. Great casting, thought provoking and a roller-coaster of emotions from start to finish. Sat next to a ghastly woman but that didn't spoil it xxx

I didn’t like the script. 20% of it was worth seeing.

Excellent production of CdB with a very modern twist. Very well executed and James McAvoy did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I truly enjoyed the play. The Cyrano has always been one of my favourite and I really liked how you reviewed it in a contemporary way. Everyone on stage was very good.

Rhyming couplets to rap. It really works. Fantastic performances too.

That was absolutely amazing!!!

Interesting modern take on this classic. McEvoy was excellent. First half was superb, but felt it lost a bit of momentum after the interval.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at the theatre. Mesmerising and electric performances from all the cast. James McAvoy was sensational.

Brilliant cast superbly lead by James McAvoy. Superb acting, very simple set. Hugely enjoyable.

This Cyrano is an innovative reworking of Rostand's classic comedy about the soldier with a big nose and his unrequited love, using rap and beatboxes and a general shift to a modern feel. The story line is largely unchanged but the way the characters interact is altered, most obviously in the famous scene where Cyrano seduces his love, Roxanne, with words on behalf of the man she has fallen for. James McAvoy (without big nose) is outstanding in the lead role and dominates the stage whenever he is present. We enjoyed the play but had mixed views about the rest of the cast and felt that after the interval the performance lost momentum and the final scene lacked clarity of purpose. Well worth seeing though for McAvoy's performance alone, but also a fresh take on a familiar classic.

Oh dear.

This is an inspiring performance, passionately and physically communicated by the cast. As in the subject of the play, its strength is the belief in the power of words and language. The actors ability to communicate the story and emotions of the characters make this a memorable performance I feel privileged to have seen.

I’ve seen several productions of Cyrano but this one is something really special!! It is so on point and witty. The whole cast is amazing and specially James McAvoy blew my mind! I love words. That’s all! Thank you for this brilliant evening!

The cast were excellent. James McAvoy was FIT! Not much of a theatre buff but found the play engaging, modern and all round enjoyable

James McAvoy is a powerful impressive presence leading an excellent cast in an innovate interpretation of a classic

As a big fan of the original French play I was a little apprehensive. I need not have worried. This new production explodes on to the stage with such energy and passion. The rap verse, the minimal staging, the outstanding performances were spellbinding. James McAvoy was stunning as Cyrano - at times poetic and then full of bravado and fury. This play was funny, emotional and totally glorious. 5 stars all round.

Fresh and exciting show full of clever word play and lots of rhyme. McAvoy' Cyrano is both fierce and sensitive. Loved it.

Obviously all the Actors were tremendous - sadly though and clearly my friend and I were in the minority but it just wasn't for us. Possibly not helped by being in the Upper Circle as you really cant see a thing.

An outstanding production. James McAvoy is magnificent as Cyrano. You can absolutely feel the story and identify with the characters. You immediately establish a connection to the story and people in it. The support cast is amazing and very diverse which I was very pleased to see . Very well set up and cast. The beat-boxing lady is a pure joy.

Spectacular performance from James McAvoy, who hardly left the stage. Loved the contemporary staging and would highly recommend to anyone interested in Modern Theatre.

Having seen James Mc in Macbeth I had to see this play. It was absolutely marvellous, innovative - so props - no prosthesis nose - unnecessary - acting and being able to hear and understand every word. Exctionsl diction.

Absolutely brilliant play!! The actors are so talented, watching such a various range of talent amongst such a diverse cast is a pleasure and refreshing. It was nothing I expected ! So much better. Jamie Lloyd is doing an amazing job revisiting this story. This is pure Art. You will not regret it.

Surprised with tickets for my birthday. Loved how relevant the material felt and the cast were all amazing including a stand out performance by James Mcavoy.

Very well written. Outstanding performance! An absolute pleasure.

Took my family (13 yr and 17yr olds) and we all thoroughly enjoyed the play. James McAvoy was outstanding as Cyrano. Charismatic and totally believable as the disfigured soldier. I hope he does lots more on stage in future. Supporting cast were also brilliant. Loved the beat boxing. Very clever. Very funny.

Go to see this production with an open mind as it is very different from previous productions you may have seen. It is a very innovative interpretation of the original play, updating the language to modern urban dialect complete with a generous use of expletives and beatboxing. James McAvoy gives a superb performance as Cyrano but sadly, because of the way the stage has been built out beyond the proscenium arch, our view was severely restricted. We received a free drink and programme but would have preferred to have been notified and probably changed our dates and paid more so that we could see the stage properly rather than glimpsing the actors between the heads of people in front of us. Trying to focus on whoever was speaking meant that we couldn’t see the reactions of the others and so we left feeling that we hadn’t fully experienced the performance.

Not sure about this modern interpretation of Rostand’s masterpiece. At times it was quite brilliant but at other times, unfortunately too cliché. You need to know the original play really well to understand.

great

Very clever performance. Nothing to say apart from go for it!!! A very old French play done in a very modern and clever way!

Fantastic acting, great dialogue and the Beatbox was terrific. I normally do not like "modern" costume and minimalist choreography, but it worked very well here. Such a pity we could not see the first half because of our seats-see below. We were moved to different seats in the second half and I half jokingly asked my new neighbour if James McAvoy was in the production! So the review is based on what was basically a radio play for us in the first half and a live proper performance in the second. The fact that I have still awarded five stars says something about the play, but says absolutely nothing about the theatre.

James McAvoy's performance is outstanding, especially the monologues. All the rhyming was a bit too much for me but overall an enjoyable play of you get decent seats...which wasn't our case unfortunately.

Magnificent acting, brilliant staging and incredibly modern. Thoroughly enjoyed. Would recommend.

Deconstructed, stripped back, in this version of Cyrano de Bergerac there is no denying the genius of James McAvoy. With no gimmicks for crutches and despite being the most visually appealing face on stage he still was Cyrano, complete with deformity. Refreshingly brave production....Bravo!

The play was fantastic, the comedians were just absolutely perfect and we were torally amazed by their acting. I highly recommend for those who appreciate classic and don't mind it to be modernised. Having studied the play at school, I knew more or less the story but still, I was positively surprised.

What a load of rubbish! And what a waste of my money!! Modernising this play using “ghetto” talk really was a bore and unimaginative!! The whole purpose of this play is about the beautiful language of falling in love not about people dropping their t’s and constant swearing!

That was an incredible play. I’m amazed of James’ acting, and the whole story was breathtaking. I would recommend it to anyone!

First half was great but we perhaps should have left after intermission.

Mind blowingly good. James Mc AVOY is amazing but all the cast are superb

Heartbreaking and torturous yet hilariously funny. Might go see it again actually, for McAvoy’s balcony monologue alone. Swoon.

Such an amazing and interesting play. I had the absolute BEST time😍 I was blown away by the actors performance. Trykt a masterpiece!

Une version originale et un peu déconcertante de ce classique James Mc Avoy est remarquable en Cyrano
