Calvin Berger - A Musical Comedy | UpStage at the Playhouse

Presented by UpStage at the Playhouse
Produced by Hyde Entertainment


Boy meets girl, boy feels awkward about size of nose, boy gets other boy with reasonable sized nose to woo girl using awkward boy’s words…

Remember that one?

In this upbeat, heartfelt musical by new writer Barry Wyner, the classic tale of Cyrano de Bergerac is given a modern, musical-comedy retelling. Set in contemporary America, four teenagers struggle with their insecurities as they make their way through the never-ending Judgement Day that is high school.
