Man of La Mancha
This beloved musical adaptation of Miguel Cervantes’ “Don Quixote” is one of the most successful musicals in Broadway history. Born in the political theatre movement of the 1960s, La Mancha is a play-within-a-play where Cervantes, imprisoned by The Inquisition, faces trial by his fellow prisoners. In his defense, he engages his prosecutors in weaving the tale of his errant knight, Don Quixote de La Mancha, determined to bring back the age of chivalry to a darkening world. Custom Made’s La Mancha takes advantage of their intimate stage to bring a modern, essential musical to Union Square. Stripping the score down to its essence, and with all the music played live with actor/musicians and led by James Grady (Next to Normal) on Spanish Guitar, this production takes the show back to its downtown roots, reminding us why Cervantes’ tale is beloved all over the world.
