This remarkable show is one of the great theatre successes of our time. This play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' "Don Quixote", is a poignant story of a dying old man whose impossible dream takes over his mind. His dream is Everyman's dream. His tilting at windmills is Everyman's great adventure. Somehow, the footlights disappear, time is telescoped and the "Man of La Mancha" speaks for humankind. It played for 2,328 performances in New York and won 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical.
