The story of 17th Century unrequited love fills the Eternal Cyrano de Bergerac, based on the title character of a play-a Parisian poet of phenomenal verse and an equally large nose-that has endured the ages. In this version, the musical storyline is lifted to a modern city, with an urban funkiness permeating the show.
