I never saw ''Cyrano.'' I just knew Plummer and Beery were the show's only Tony nominees, and that Plummer won Best Actor in a Musical.
I didn't realize it ran for only 5 previews and 49 performances. And was directed and choreographed by Michael Kidd. Was it largely panned? .
That '73-74 season looked slim; there were only 3 nominees for Best Musical (''Raisin,'' ''Over Here!'' and ''Seesaw'') and only 3 nominees for Best Book (''Candide,'' ''Raisin'' and ''Seesaw''). But the Tony nominators didn't even give the 4th slot to ''Cyrano'' just to fill out those categories.
I've now listened to the cast album, and only one exquisite song caught my ear: ''You Have Made Me Love,'' beautifully sung by Beery.
I just realized I first heard this tune years ago in ''Broadway Jukebox,'' Ed Linderman's fun revue of forgotten songs from Broadway flops.
(Has anyone else seen ''Cyrano: The Musical'' (1993) and the Off-Broadway musical ''Cyrano'' (2019), starring Peter Dinklage, too?) |

'You Have Made Me Love,'' sung by Leigh Beery, from ''Cyrano'' (1973) |
