For those who won't be able to catch up with the ticket race for Cyrano de Bergerac seats before the production ends on Jan. 6, we'll at least be able to watch stars Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner do their thespian thing on PBS's Great Performances. According to Broadway.com, producers of the show released a statement saying the taping began yesterday at the Richard Rogers Theatre for broadcast "later this year and future release on DVD."

On Dec. 8, 2007, a single performance of Cyrano de Bergerac at the Richard Rogers Theater smashed the record for the highest gross of a play or musical in one night, totalling $153,880. Just a month later, on Jan. 6, Edmond Rostand's 1897 timeless romance will close its curtains. The star-studded production, including Kevin Kline, as the big-schnozed Cyrano and Jennifer Garner as hard-to-get Roxane, began previews on Oct. 11 and opened on Nov. 1.  read more »
