	KDHX Theatre Review - Man of La Mancha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		However, a cloud of resignation hangs over this La Mancha, as Mary McCreight directs around him, and the audience opening night seemed wan in its indulgence of his own tilting at theatrical windmills, as the delusional Don Quixote.
		What a pleasure to change the subject, at last, to La Mancha’s beautiful leading lady: Julie O’Neill (as Aldonza/Dulcinea) is quite a good singer, quite a good actress, and very enjoyable as the object of Don Quixote’s attentions, in the time of the Spanish Inquisition.
		Man of La Mancha continues through June 6th (2004) at the Carousel House at Faust Park, about a mile north of I-64 on the west side of Clarkson Rd. Friday and Saturday at eight p.m., Sunday at five.

	"Man of La Mancha" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		All in all, Man of La Mancha is a wonderful film for the Christian, albeit, perhaps a bit too difficult overall for anyone under 14 or 15.
		Man of La Mancha is, if anything, an entertaining, yet terrifically-inspiring reminder of our Christian duty to, if necessary, give our last breath fighting in the name of God and what is right.
		"Man Of La Mancha" was one of the greatest musicals in the history of Broadway, opening in 1965 with Richard Kiley in the dual role of Cervantes and Don Quixote and ran for nearly seven years.

	Washington Times review of Man of La Mancha
		Director Jonathan Kent has a treasure in his limber restaging of "The Man of La Mancha" with Brian Stokes Mitchell in the title role of Cervantes' Don Quixote.
		Watching him playfully mine the rich comedic territory of the egotistical leading man in "Kiss Me, Kate" was a hoot and a holler, but there is something singularly satisfying in his performance as Don Quixote — something fine and true.
		During the course of "La Mancha" it is alternately the prison where Cervantes and his squire, Sancho Panza (Ernie Sabella), find themselves awaiting the Spanish Inquisition and the setting for the "Don Quixote" yarn Cervantes is ordered to tell.

	Man of La Mancha
		Ah, yes, one exception: when the University of Wisconsin offered an Honorary Doctorate I did appear in cap and gown to address the audience in the football stadium at Madison, because a scant quarter-mile from where I was being Doctored I had hopped my first freight at the age of 12.
		Man of La Mancha began as a play for television called I, Don Quixote.
		Wasserman states emphatically that his play is not an adaptation of Don Quixote but more about the man Cervantes and how Wasserman connected with the knowledge of Cervantes’s as well as his own life and career in the theatre – albeit for Cervantes, not a very successful one.

		He is he, Don Quixote, the Man of La Mancha, and though you may not realize it, he's a hero of the counterculture, a brother-in-arms to the hippies and flower children of a generation gone.
		After a couple of decades, if folks thought about Man of La Mancha at all, it was in the shadow of "The Impossible Dream" and assumed to be a safe, staid, easy-listening rendering of a literary classic.
		In La Mancha, it had more to do with the "poor theatre" promoted by Jerzy Grotowski in the Sixties, one more movement of the times that sought to discard the excesses of tradition for a return to basics.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Man of La Mancha
		The translation from theatrical musical to movie musical doesn't get much more disastrous than in Man of La Mancha, a cheap, muddled, and badly put-together debacle that resoundingly establishes Arthur Hiller (who directed Love Story and Silver Streak) as one of cinema's most hit-and-miss directors.
		La Mancha adapts the stage play with Peter O'Toole in the lead as both Don Quixote and Miguel de Cervantes: Cervantes is imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition, finds his papers held ransom by his fellow inmates, and given a mock trial by them in order to determine whether they shall be returned.
		As for the music, La Mancha is hardly one of Broadway's musical milestones (how it played for nearly 3,000 showings is a mystery to me), and its centerpiece numbers -- "The Impossible Dream" and the title track -- are memorable ditties.

		WARREN--"To bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go," drop in on Warren Players' excellent production of the musical "Man of La Mancha" which is now on stage.
		The plot deals with a real author, Miguel de Cervantes, who wrote much loved stories about an elderly man who thinks he is a knight in shining armor, and who gives his all to do right, although the evil ogres he assaults sometimes turn out to be no more than windmills.
		"Man of La Mancha" repeats Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Warren Players' own facility, on Water Street in Warren.

		Written by Dale Wasserman and first produced during the tumultuous 1960s, Man of La Mancha illustrates how willing we are to believe in men who live the conviction of their dreams.
		But Man of La Mancha elevates Quixote to represent man’s aspiration to be better, and achieves this with humor and bearable sentimentality.
		The stage is too small to contain the breadth of Quixote’s dreams, a fact that limits the effectiveness of fight scenes as well as the illusion of a journey.

	The Man of La Mancha: Don Quixote (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Man of La Mancha is a much more optimistic story that portrays Don Quixote as a visionary madman, while Don Quixote is a pessimistic story that makes Don Quixote out to be a foolish lunatic, so I much prefer Man of La Mancha to Don Quixote.
		All he reads oppresses him – fills him with indignation of man's murderous ways toward man. He ponders the problem – how to make better a world where evil brings profit and virtue none at all, where fraud, deceit, and malice are mingled with truth and sincerity.
