‘Cyrano’ looks good in black

The producers of “Cyrano de Bergerac” announced that the Broadway play earned back its $3.5 million capitalization, the season’s first show to make its investors whole.

“Cyrano,” which closed on Jan. 6 at New York’s Richard Rodgers Theatre, paired television and movie star Jennifer Garner with Kevin Kline, featured in films and a dozen Broadway shows. The revival of the 1897 romantic drama was well reviewed and played to more than 90%-capacity crowds since opening Nov. 1, except during the 19-day stagehands strike that closed most of Broadway.
