I just saw a re-broadcast today and was so pleased that I just had to say thanks out loud (or at least in writing). Thank you, thank you, thank you, PBS!!!

We saw this on March 22, 2009, and compliment Kevin Kline and the cast. The staging was fantastic. Jennifer Garner made Roxane particularly enjoyable. We saw Cyrano first in the movies in 1950 with José Ferrer. We have been privileged to see it more than once at the Comédie Française in Paris. Kevin Kline was better than Gérard Depardieu in the film of 1990. We noted the modernizations, but that is O.K. It took some trimming. But in the end, Cyrano says, “Ce soir quand j’entre chez Dieu,” this is changed to “my last lodging place.” Do we need this concession to sophisticated agnosticism? Also, “mon panâche” was made an attribute rather than the white plume which swept the heavenly threshold. But we cried like fools, anyway. Pat and Bill Nottingham, Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

I love this show, but I happened to miss it. I loved the scene they have here online, and just hope they broadcast the show again some time.

Kevin Klein’s performance was breathtaking! I began to cry as started his speech for the balcony scene. The power that he put into it was amazing. The final scene took me 5 minutes after watching to stop balling. It was a truly magnificent performance and to anyone who says differently, I ask you did you understand watch they were saying or did you purely not “enjoy” the performance?

Mr. Kline’s performance was amazing, and the majority of the cast back him up splendidly! We could not change the channel once we started watching this program, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Absolutely a stellar performance by Kline. A favorite story of mine – we DVR’d it and keep it on there to watch again. My 8 year old loved it also.
