Absolutely fantastic
This is an amazing production - I was a little off-put at first as it was a somewhat nontraditional stage set up, but once it got started it was glorious. I laughed, I cried, the audience spontaneously gave a standing ovation - wonderful. Cast is top tier.
Outstanding
This Man of la Mancha is fantastic. The actor who plays Don Quixote is superb. And so are the actors who play Sancho and Dulcinea/Aldonza. Sancho is so excellent as to almost steal the show. So is the astonishing Dulcinea/Aldonza. And the Padre and Barber were memorable as well, adding a lot of humor. A few of the scenes are very suggestive/violent, due to the choreography. Not knowing this beforehand, I took my kids (ages 8 and 10) to the show. They had read an abridged version of Don Quixote, and we had read the musical before seeing the show. My kids LOVED the show, especially Sancho and his voice, and now they keep singing songs and quoting lines from the show. My kids also asked questions about the rape scene. My suggestion would be a matinee for kids where the most suggestive choreography is toned down. My mother and husband also loved the show. We have all talked about it ever since.
Superb!
Don't miss this production of Man of La Mancha. The cast is superb the performance is loaded with excellent voices, choreography, Orchestra and a compelling set versatile constantly keeping your eyes a fixed to their stage. All of the leads deliver a wonderful tempo of all the classic LA Mancha songs for me The Impossible Dream, I Like Him and Dulcinea most memorable. Wow it is nice to go to the theater and enjoy the venue, not be stressed by some quirky misinterpretation of a classic and watch a true professional cast put on a performance that even almost two weeks later I can't stop thinking about it. It was a superb time!
Man of La Mancha
Opening night was more than WONDERFUL! Incredible and talented cast that made the entire show so entertaining.
a classic!
Definitely strongest performances by Aldonza and the Padre! So much depth in the Muletiers....you'll see these names in the future! Many bright stars in this cast. The orchestra is fabulous!
Great except for the lead.
Just saw this production and loved it. Only issue I saw was with the lead- Don Quixote. H e was either too old or too tired to perform. Especially his voice ! He just doesn't sing well which is odd for a musical. My actual favorite performers were the muleteers especially the ones in leather pants and with whips. Great voices, true entertainers. Some in this production appear ready for much bigger roles. Loved the show- worth the price except for the lead actor. Bishop wX also awesome! Thankfully there were entry if bright spots to cover for the lead.
