Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Composer and Lyricist, the classic musical Man of La Mancha retells the timeless story of Miguel Cervantes' Don Quixote, as a play-within-a-play. The author Cervantes re-enacts his story of the mad knight, a dying old man who lives in a world of his imagination as he awaits his hearing in the Spanish Inquisition. The show features the songs "Dulcinea," "I'm Only Thinking of Him," "I Really Like Him" and the show-tune standard, "The Impossible Dream." Davis Gaines, best known for starring in The Phantom of the Opera for more than 2000 performances in Los Angeles, San Francisco and on Broadway, plays Quixote. Learn More

Bawdy, slapstick, clever; throwing out a huge number of gags. Because the cast is inspired, most of it works. A hoot. A fun eve of live entertainment.Written on Apr 12 2010

I really didn't enjoy the event as much as I thought I would. I had a hard time understanding everything that was going on, because I really only knew a little bit about the story! However there were many parts that were very funny that I did enjoy. It was an adventure for sure.Written on Apr 14 2010
