Last month I had great seats to the fantastic Arts Club Theatre production of Cyrano de Bergerac at The Stanley. I still remember reading the subtitles for the movie adaptation starring Gerard Depardieu in Miss Bourbonnais' French class in high school. Steve Martin depiction in Roxanne is probably the best known, or Janeane Garofalo's scene stealing performance in The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

This Christmas in LA I saw the amazing Wicked, which continues the story of The Wizard of Oz and how the Wicked Witch of the West really became, well, wicked. Steve Martin has nothing to do with that musical, but he did star in the 1986 movie version of Little Shop of Horrors with goofy Rick Moranis, an Uncle Randy Production I enjoyed last night at the Centennial Theatre. Just a funny coincidence.

Next up on the "to see" list? Les Miserables in May!
