BWW Review: MAN OF LA MANCHA Seeks and Finds the Impossible Dream at Porthouse

BWW Review: MAN OF LA MANCHA at Westport Country Playhouse
by Sherry Shameer Cohen - Oct 1, 2018
Is there anything that Mark Lamos can't do extremely well when it comes to theater? His latest show at the Westport Country Playhouse, Man of La Mancha, is beyond masterful, from the direction to the performances to the choreography to the set design. Even if you think you've seen this show at least once before, you haven't really seen it until you've seen Lamos's Man of La Mancha. Dale Wasserman's book, Mitch Leigh's music, and Joe Darion's lyrics are still delightful, but Lamos's magic touch adds so much more.
