Man of La Mancha

February 8, 2002 — February 23, 2002

Civic Auditorium

Enter the mind – and the world – of Don Quixote as he pursues his quest for the Impossible Dream. Against all odds, he is a man who sees good and innocence in a world filled with darkness and despair. One of the most celebrated of all Broadway musicals, Man of La Mancha is a powerful blend of tragedy, romance, comedy and adventure. Set in 17th century Spain, the play tells the story of Cervantes’ wrongful imprisonment during the Spanish Inquisition. In his defense, Cervantes shares the elaborate tale of Don Quixote. This inspiring musical tribute to romantic idealism invites the audience to explore the contrast between the reality of Cervantes’ prison cell and the dream of Quixote’s quest for perfection. Musical highlights include The Impossible Dream, Dulcinea, and What Does He Want of Me?
