Sponsored in part by: Panetta Physical Therapy
To celebrate the kick off of our 35th Anniversary as an organization, we are thrilled to present a special limited engagement presentation of Man of La Mancha, directed in the style of our founder, Noel S. Ruiz. Man of La Mancha was the first show to be produced on this very stage.
Man of La Mancha is one of the world’s most popular musicals. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ seventeenth-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial during the Spanish Inquisition. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of the elderly Alonso Quijana, who renames himself “Don Quixote” and goes on a quest to right all wrongs in the world. The rousing, Spanish-inflected score includes the classic numbers “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”
