Man of La Mancha
6200 Atherton St Long Beach
Bold, theatrical, and timelessly relevant, Man of La Mancha is a masterwork of musical theatre that explores the thin line between reality and illusion. Set in the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition, Miguel de Cervantes mounts a passionate defense of his life's work by transforming his fellow prisoners into the characters from the beloved story of Don Quixote. With its stirring score - including the iconic anthem "The Impossible Dream" - and its powerful message of courage, hope, and unyielding idealism, Man of La Mancha challenges us to see the world not as it is, but as it should be.
