"...As many times as I see Man of La Mancha, I relish the music and high dramatic moments of this classic piece of theatre. Such is the case when the production is top notch, with the perfect actors and highly skilled direction. La Mirada's current revival is top of the line with director Glenn Casale leaving his usual stamp of excellence."

"...Although originally written as a satire on chivalric values, these very same values seem to resonate with people everywhere - from Cervantes' sixteenth century to today. Starring eccentric madman Don Quixote, who tilts at windmills and doesn't accept a dismal reality, MAN OF LA MANCHA continues to powerfully deliver its message. When the strains of "An Impossible Dream" lit up the stage, there were few dry eyes in the house. This is a play to be enjoyed again and again - most especially when it is performed to such perfection in this current revival. Kudos to a very talented cast, brilliant musical direction by Jeff Rizzo, splendid direction by Glenn Casale, and the talents of the many skilled individuals in front of and behind the scenes. Don't miss this production of MAN OF LA MANCHA."

"...Not all songs in a musical are created equal. While all good musicals should have great songs, there are always some songs in a show that are boring, clunky, or filler. Yet I cannot use any negative adjective to describe any song I heard in Man of La Mancha. The lyrics and music are excellent, but more than that the singing is phenomenal. Not only do I want to listen to every song over and over again, I really wish it could be the voices of this cast that I could hear on repeat. The orchestra is wonderful, and the other aspects of the actors' performances are also excellent."

"...he trumpets 'Blair" and the strings of the guitar "Roll", as we're transported back to Seville Spain in the latter part of the Sixteenth Century-at the pinnacle of the dreaded Spanish Inquisition. There, into a murky dungeon enter two supremely unlucky figures-the illustrious "Poet of the Theater", Miguel De Cervantes, who we learn had been working as a tax collector ("A temporary thing," he explains, "to keep us from starvation!") and his manservant who have both been called before the Grand Inquisitor for crimes against the church-notably for daring to issue a lien against a monastery ("The law says treat everyone equally' he adds in his defense; "we only obeyed the law!") To assuage the hostility of the imprisoned rabble, Cervantes persuades them not burn his prized manuscript that he's been working on -by performing it for them, with them playing all the ancillary "Dramatis Personae"."
