To Dream the Impossible Dream

Man of La Mancha

Man of La Mancha is a different type of show. It is a show that does not have fans, it has fanatics in the full sense of the word. People don't "like" Man of La Mancha, they are passionate about it. Why?

Because deep inside, everyone is a little bit of a Don Quixote. We all want to fix the world, to fight for that Impossible Dream. Man of La Mancha calls to the best desires inside us, and restores our faith in goodness when the world has gone mad.
