ning. He was so wonderful. He
was what a friend should be. I
miss him so much.”
Klugman would return to
George Street Playhouse for
a production of The Sunshine
Boys with Paul Dooley and was
scheduled to be in Twelve An-
gry Men but had to withdraw
for health reasons. I’ll always
remember the two times I was
able to interview him for George
Street productions, but most of
all I will never forget the sight of
Klugman tossing my Rutgers hat
across the room when I tried to
snap a photo of him wearing the
hat. “They don’t get free promo-
tion,” he said - something I could
easily imagine Oscar Madison
saying.
Calvin Berger (2010)
The premise behind this musi-
cal is the familiar tale of Cyrano
de Bergerac. The title character
is the modern day Cyrano - a
smart, geeky high school senior
with a nose that he perceives
to be grotesquely over-sized.
