Man of La Mancha at Thalian Hall

Man of La Mancha is one of the world’s most popular musicals. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ seventeenth-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial during the Spanish Inquisition. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of the elderly Alonso Quijana, who renames himself "Don Quixote" and goes on a quest to right all wrongs in the world. The rousing, Spanish-inflected score includes the classic numbers “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”

Directed and choreographed by Ray L. Kennedy, MAN OF LA MANCHA features Fracaswell Hyman as Don Quixote, Coleman Cox as Aldonza, Brian Whitted as Sancho Panza, Jon Tyler Berry* as The Duke/Dr. Corrasco, and many more! MAN OF LA MANCHA runs August 17-27 at Historic Thalian Hall in Downtown Wilmington. Tickets are available at www.OperaHouseTheatreCompany.org!
