Man of la Mancha

Man of La Mancha is a 1965 Broadway musical which tells the story of the classic novel Don Quixote as a play within a play, performed by Miguel Cervantes and his fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition. The book was by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion, and music by Mitch Leigh: one song, "The Impossible Dream", was particularly popular.

Richard Kiley won a Tony Award for his performance as Cervantes/Quixote on Broadway, but the role went to Peter O'Toole in the less-successful 1972 film.

The play has been run on Broadway five times:

1965 - 1971 original production, Richard Kiley as Quixote. John Cullum and José Ferrer also played the role during this run.
1972 - revival, Richard Kiley as Quixote.
1977 - revival, Richard Kiley as Quixote.
1992 - revival, Raúl Juliá as Quixote, Sheena Easton as Dulcinea.
2002 - revival, Brian Stokes Mitchell as Quixote, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Dulcinea, Ernie Sabella as Sancho Panza.
