A truly remarkable show, and one of the great theatre successes of our time! This is a play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' 'Don Quixote.' We have a poignant story of a dying old man whose impossible dream takes over his mind. The well-known classic songs It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only Thinking of Him, The Impossible Dream, I Really Like Him and Little Bird remain in your thoughts and in your soul well after you see the show. 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. Winner of 5 Tony Awards!
