WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Davis Gaines stars as Don Quixote (Cervantes) in Musical Theatre West's production of Man of La Mancha. Olivier Award winner Lesli Margherita co-stars as Aldonza. Nick DeGruccio directs.
This Tony Award winner for Best Musical by Mitch Leigh, Joe Darion and Dale Wasserman, features one of Broadway's great standards, "The Impossible Dream," and takes place during the height of the Spanish Inquisition.
While awaiting a hearing with the Inquisition, Miguel de Cervantes presents a play as his defense in a mock trial for the prisoners. In it, he plays Alonso Quijana, a man who has set his own reality aside and becomes Don Quixote De La Mancha. Assisted by Sancho Panza, Quixote attempts to avoid his mortal enemy, the Enchanter, and woo the serving wench and prostitute, Aldonza, who he takes to be the lady Dulcinea.

As far as quests go, finding a near-perfect cast for the classic Broadway musical Man of La Mancha has finally been achieved by the folks at Musical Theater West, which is now presenting the Joe Darion-Mitch Leigh-Dale Wasserman tuner at the Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts.
Davis Gaines, with his booming voice and delusional dignity, is fantastic as the heroic lunatic Don Quixote de la Mancha, and brings splendid nobility to "The Impossible Dream" and lyrical beauty to "Dulcinea."
As his glowing maiden, Aldonza, Lesli Margherita is lustful, guttural and utterly endearing, as the case may be. She almost growls out "Aldonza" and "It's All The Same" as if spitting out poisonous bile[...]
