 The Very Little Theatre continues its 78th season with a four-week run of the award-winning musical about Don Quixote, Man of La Mancha, with book by Dale Wasserman, music and lyrics by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion.
This powerful show, which won five Tony Awards when it debuted on Broadway back in 1965 (including Best Musical and Best Score!), is still as engaging as ever, and with a beautiful score to match. It has been revived four times on Broadway, bringing tens of thousands of new fans to this musical adventure.
Man of La Mancha is a one-act musical that tells the story of the classic novel Don Quixote as a play within a play, performed by author Miguel de Cervantes and his fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition.
Cervantes' tale is of knight-errant Don Quixote, his servant Sancho, and the woman of his dreams, the lovely Aldonza/Dulcinea. It tells the romantic and noble journey of a knight who sets out to right all wrongs and win the heart of a good woman as he duels windmills along the way-the classic comic tragedy of man's struggle against all odds to dream impossible dreams. The award-winning musical score is headed by the beautiful and timeless ballad, "The Impossible Dream."
"His dream is Everyman's dream. His tilting at windmills is Everyman's great adventure. Somehow the footlights disappear, time is telescoped, and the 'Man of La Mancha' speaks for humankind."
~ Tams-Witmark
