Previews: MAN OF LA MANCHA at Theatre 29
Experience the Poignant Story of One Man’s Ultimate Quest
“Man of La Mancha”, one of the world’s most popular musicals, is now playing at Theatre 29 weekends through March 17. Set in Spain in 1597, “Man of La Mancha” follows the story of Manuel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, a prisoner awaiting trial by the infamous Spanish Inquisition. During his imprisonment, Cervantes and his fellow prisoners act out the story he has written about elderly Alonso Quijana, who renames himself “Don Quixote” and goes on a quest to right all wrongs in the world. This Tony Award-Winning musical features classic numbers like “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Little Bird,” and many others. The original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and has been revived on Broadway 4 times.
