Actor James McAvoy is set to make his US stage debut with the play "Cyrano de Bergerac".
The show is a revival of Edmond Rostand's 1897 classic verse drama about a proud French Army officer who sees his perceived lack of physical beauty as an impediment to courting the woman he loves.
It will play from May 8 to 31 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's (BAM) Harvey Theater, with principal London cast including Anita-Joy Uwajeh and Eben Figueiredo accompanying the transfer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The production is coming off a successful limited run at the West End in the UK. McAvoy and director Jamie Lloyd have received Olivier Award nominations for their for the play.
