Man of La Mancha

Based on The Adventures of Don Quixote, by Miguel the Cervantes y Saavedra, this musical is a comic tragedy of mankind's struggle to better both himself and the world in which he lives. When Cervantes started writing he intended a satirical burlesque of the then fashionable novels of chivalry; gradually the author's sympathies changed, ad the novel developed into a deeper, broader and more compassionate account of the adventures of an eccentric idealist in a hostile, greedy and cynical world, which leads the reader to the conclusion that if Don Quixote is a fool, it is because the world does not live up to his ideals. This feeling is perfectly reflected in this beautiful musical version of the story.
