Cyrano

With Jeroen Spitzenberger, Shelley Bos, Keanu Visscher, Rian Gerritsen, Job Greuter, Finn Poncin, Jefferson Manson, Sem Konijn, Jante Inonge Stekelenburg and Julie-Anne Sikkens.

Jeroen Spitzenberger plays Cyrano, his dream role. Cyrano de Bergerac's iconic love story is a tragicomic classic, now in a brand new adaptation with sparkling poetry and live music.

In this impressive version of Cyrano, featuring a top 11-member cast of actors and musicians, a thrilling love triangle reveals itself in which the characters constantly feel they are falling short. Cyrano, the charming and quirky master poet hides his love for Roxanne (Shelley Bos) because of his strikingly ugly nose. However, he hatches a plan to make the handsome Christian (Keanu Visscher) shine in the battle for Roxanne's heart. But where Cyrano suffers from his ugliness, with Christian and Roxanne it is beauty that gets in the way.

At a time when the perception of our appearance is heavily influenced by social media and the constant pressure to conform to an ideal image, the theme of Cyrano is perhaps more topical than ever. Directed by Jasper Verheugd, with text by Jibbe Willems, music by Fons Merkies and stage design by Joris van Veldhoven, this age-old story is brought to the 21st century.

Cyrano, a comedy full of music, passion and poetry. With shrewd lyrics sharper than a saber. Who will run off with the beautiful Roxanne? Cyrano with his limitless love and charismatic personality or Christian with his big heart and beauty? This timeless story about love and self-image and the pressures of society is a must-see classic.

Jeroen Spitzenberger: "Cyrano is my dream role. A tragicomic struggle about being seen and heard in love. With language and imagination as a weapon and, to be sure, the sword behind the hand."
