Man of La ManchaBook by Dale Wasserman
Lyrics by Joe Darion / Music by Mitch Leigh Directed by Colleen Lavery McElhinney Music Direction by Marilyn Whipple Choreography by Nicole Carey Friday October 24th at 7:30pm Saturday October 25th at 7:30pm Saturday November 1st at 7:30pm Sunday November 2nd at 2:00pm Friday November 7th at 7:30pm Saturday November 8th at 7:30pm Sunday November 9th at 2:00pm Man of La Mancha is one of the world’s most popular musicals. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-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.” |

When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets “Maxine and Stephanie” that she finally gets a taste of it. |
