Your own personal experience with the play: 
This is totally my favorite (non musical) play! It is hilarious, witty, and absolutely brilliant! Cyrano is my favorite literary character and his verses are awesome! Some friends and I, (apart from my reading this many times), have performed it ourselves for amusement and it is a very fun play!
What you liked and disliked about the play: 
Like-the witty dialogue, the larger-than-life characters, the intriguing story line, easily adapted to a smaller cast Dislike-the crazy French names. Some of those might have to be simplified if we were to do the play. Also random note: this link keeps on marking this show as science fiction under genre. It is not. It is a comedy/romance.

Your own personal experience with the play: 
I have not seen this as a stage production. Watch a few of the trailiers on YouTube and you will be "hooked." <!--break-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN4xCr5Kd7w <!--break-->http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lost+skeleton+of+cadavra&oq=Lost+Skeleton+&gs_l=youtube.1.0.0l9j0i5.34615.37039.0.40631.14.8.0.6.6.0.84.515.8.8.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.1ITTT3crTaw
What you liked and disliked about the play: 
(VERY low budget) spoof of 1950's science fiction/horror movie. Dry humor and classic "takes itself too seriously" tone is hilarious. A stage production of this would probably develop a cult following, possibly rivaling "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
