PRESS
“Hamilton‘s the big influence here. … Maddie Bautista’s soundscore (and original compositions) are full of allusions — the sweeping orchestral meets the rock riff, harpsichord meets hip-hop.” - by Liz Nicholls, Words, glorious words: Cyrano de Bergerac, a captivating new adaptation at the Citadel. A review.
