Jennifer Garner to Hit Broadway

Jennifer Garner to Hit Broadway

Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac will be revived on Broadway for a ten-week run in October at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

Cyrano de Bergerac is a romantic classic about the lover-warrior with a heart as big as his unsightly, overlong nose.

Tony Award winner Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner (Alias) are currently in negotiations to play the roles of, respectively, Cyrano and Roxane.

WILL YOU BUY TICKETS to watch Jennifer Garner on Broadway?

What happened to the mommy show?

My bet is she’ll do just as well as Julia Roberts did on Broadway.

She has a lot of charisma and that usually works well on Broadway.

Good Lord. What a waste! Surely Broadway could find SOMEONE with a little talent without resorting to this?

Oh god, she’s terrible outside of Alias. She’s totally going to ruin a great role!

Cool - Cyrano de Bergerac is a cool classic and Kevin kline will do a good job at playing him. Jennifer will do a good job also.

I love Kevin, I havent heard about him in so long. Classic “A Fished called Wanda” one of the best movies ever!

she’s not all that great…no offense… theres other important issues in this world besides worrying about Jennifer g. We are the real celebs, because we are REAL people, who cares about making this world a better place.The more we care, the more we can help the poverty, starving children, sweat shops, feeding the poor, donating clothes,etc… Sit in ponder on that for a while…then you tell me if you would still by a ticket, instead of using the money for some good to help someone who really needs it. We don’t need to make the rich any richer.Live, Love and Laugh Often.Thank You to those who respond with a heart, and to those taking the time to read this. Have a wonderful day.

About the sweat shops, I meant getting children out of them, I forgot to add this.Children shouldn’t sweat in a no air condition place making clothes to benifit a rich celeb pockets…Peace :^)

I bet she can sing. I’m not jumping in line to buy a ticket, but I bet it will be good. Good for her for trying the stage. I’m sure working with a pro like Kevin Kline will make it easier. LOVE HIM.

ummm, naw I don’t see it. She’s not a good actress. Kevin Kline is good enough to carry them both.

I think she’ll be great…I would go see her!

PAY ME i’ll go. Ill bring my sleep tabs along.
Garner on BROADWAY? PLEASE NO!

Thumb up Thumb down 0

I’ve heard her sing and she’s good. She sang a song on some CD for charity. Not the best, but she could carry this part. Good for her for trying something new.

If she’s supposed to be on Broadway in October…I’m guessing this puts those preganacy rumors to rest!

You can watch Garner singing here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHl0cFAXrcI
Nothing special, dilettante. Her Alias co-star Mia Maestro (Nadia) sings much better.

New York Post about Garner in “Cyrano de Bergerac”:
“Garner, the sexy star of TV’s “Alias” and wife of Ben Affleck, has been hunting around for a play for the last year or so, especially since her movie career hasn’t exactly taken off.

(”Elektra”? Yikes!)
She’ll play Roxanne, the witty, strong-willed French socialite with whom Cyrano is secretly in love.
Kline and Garner are said to be working for scale on Broadway, about $1,200 a week.”

Thanks but no thanks. I don’t wish to see Garner sing,dance or act.Neither one can she do well.
Garner should just go back to tv. That is where some people liked her.
Broadway,,don’t think so.
Kevin I can see.

She has a great voice… she sang on ‘Alias’, and she used to do Broadway. Good for her. Plus, I’ll be in NYC in November, so if she’s there, I’ll be there as well.

Try again… If you can’t make it on Broadway, try the big screen.

First of all, I’d like to say that the negative comments sound like they are coming from very sad, insecure souls.

I think Jennifer Garner is very talented and I would definitely go see her on Broadway.

Way to go Jennifer!!!

BTW…She can dance and sing. Where have you been???

Thanks for the news Just Jared but No thanks for your add,i don’t pay to see Jen G.Because this is expensive (Plane,Motel,Ticket).Because i live in paris (this is very far from Broadway).Moreover,i don’t like theater musical.
I have enough of that(Notre dame de paris,romeo and Juliet,le roi Soleil and all this ****!!!! …. ).Even if she sing and dance very good.

Out news:
One Thing,i risk to pollute Environnement,if i take a plane (Video Gas free)

Sorry JenG!!!!
