About

Man of La Mancha

By Written by Dale Wasserman | Music by Mitch Leigh | Lyrics by Joe Darion

Hear the wild winds of fortune.  Your destiny calls and adventure awaits.  A poet, thrown into prison, fears the Inquisitor, but the inmates demand their own kind of justice.  The poet begins to tell a story of a mad Knight determined to achieve his impossible dreams. Join the quest and reach the unreachable star.

From the Artistic Director:
As a kid, my parents took me to The Parkway Playhouse to see Dixie Carter play Aldonza.  I spent my life savings on the cast album at Record Bar and soon knew every lyric from start to finish. As I’ve grown older, my love for this musical has only deepened.  Its meta-theatricality seems as revolutionary now as when it took Broadway by storm.  Its call to change the world no matter what still rings true and producing it at Triad Stage is a long held dream.

Spectacular Production ‘Man of La Mancha’ At Triad Stage
Rhino Times
May 13, 2019

Triad Stage’s artistic director, Preston Lane, fulfilled the quest of “The Impossible Dream” through his spectacular production of “Man of La Mancha.” Written by Dale Wasserman and first produced in 1965, the Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of Miguel de Cervantes who is cast into prison to await a hearing during the Spanish Inquisition. There, his belongings are stolen by other prisoners and he is forced to present a defense to have them returned. Desperate to regain his most valuable possession—an unfinished manuscript—Cervantes takes on the persona of Don Quixote and enacts his imaginary tales. It is then that the play within a play begins.

‘Man of La Mancha’ reaches the unreachable
Yes! Weekly
May 8, 2019

I attended the opening night of Triad Stage’s production of Dale Wasserman’s “Man of La Mancha,” and just as the play’s fearless “knight” Don Quixote encourages the audience to “dream the impossible dream,” Triad Stage’s production went above and beyond my expectations.

News & Record
May 4, 2019

The Tony Award-winning musical “Man of La Mancha” dates to 1965 and was inspired by the novel “Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes from the early 1600s. It may not be surprising, then, that Triad Stage’s artistic director, Preston Lane, felt the need to set his company’s production in a more contemporary situation.
