Winner: Tony Award - Best Play

Inspired by Cervantes’ masterpiece Don Quixote, MAN OF LA MANCHA is one of the most successful musicals in Broadway history. Powerful, brutal, hilarious, and heartbreaking, MAN OF LA MANCHA celebrates the perseverance of a dying old man who imagines himself the gallant knight Don Quixote, on a noble quest to right all wrongs. His wild antics change the lives of Sancho Panza, his loyal sidekick, and of Aldonza, a prostitute who he sees as the vision of purity, Dulcinea. His noble cause begs us to question: Is it he or the world that has gone mad, as he dares to Dream the Impossible Dream?
