Man of La Mancha, Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre's second production of the season presented in association with Michael James, is a "can't miss."  It is powerfully reimagined in a contemporary mental facility with the patients sympathetically playing the story of Don Quixote as told by Cervantes.  Man of La Mancha’s book is by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh.

Performances run through November 22 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m.  The No Exit Café space, owned by James, is a cabaret setting, where dinner is available one hour prior to curtain and food and drinks are served by the cast. 

Daniel Brothers in the starring role delivers a powerful performance as she transforms from patient to Cervantes to Dan Quixote on stage.  Her delivery of "The Impossible Dream" leaves the audience in awe.  Man of La Mancha also features Sarah Hayes and Anthony Apodaca, with Kent Joseph, Dan Waters, Kyle Greer, Jennifer Young, Trisha Ditsworth, Michael Hershberg, Maggie Portman and Tom Moore.

James' father, Hal James, was the co-producer of the original Broadway production that opened in 1965 and won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1966.  An exhibit of Hal James' memorabilia is on display at the No Exit Café during the production run.
