It is the winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical Score and Best Musical. Original Production Staged by Albert Marre. Originally Produced by Albert W. Selden and Hal James.

This is an inspiring story about tilting with windmills and reaching the unreachable star, set in a Spanish dungeon in the 16th century. Don Quixote de la Mancha's quest for honor and right in a world gone mad is deeply moving but laced with humor and superb music, which makes this an audience favorite. Musical numbers include: Man of LaMancha, Dulcinea, Little Bird, Golden Helmet of Mambrino and the Impossible Dream.
