Our 195th Production

presents

Man Of La Mancha was inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ 1615 masterpiece, The Adventures Of Don Quixote, the second biggest selling book in the history of the world. The novel was the prototype for a whole genre of comedy, in which the sanest characters can’t see the real truth of life, and only the lunatics are truly wise. Written by Dale Wasserman for CBS’ DuPont Show of the Month program, the show started as a non-mu-sical teleplay. When Wasserman set out to write the first version of his play, he remembers, “In theory, the answer seemed simple. I’d write a play about Miguel de Cervantes in which his creation, Don Quixote, would be played by Cervantes himself. The two would progressive-ly blend in spirit until the creator and his creation would be understood as one and the same.” This original telecast of I, Don Quixote, starred Lee J. Cobb, Colleen Dewhurst and Eli Wallach. The play was broadcast live on November 9, 1959, with an estimated audience of 20 million. Director Albert Marre approached Wasserman about turning his teleplay into a stage musical. Wasserman went to see a psychic and asked her if he should stay with the project. She told him, “It will be extremely success-ful. In fact, it will overwhelm your life.” Soon the team included composer Mitch Leigh, with orchestrations by Carlyle W. Hall and lyrics by Joe Darion. By June 1964, they had a first draft. The show was the first of its kind – a musical within a play – in which the outer framing device (the prison) is not a musical and no one sings, but the interior reality (the Quixote story) is a full-blooded musical. And the climax of the show comes when Cervantes brings music into the non-musical world of the prison. Man Of La Mancha was written to be played in a smalltheatre, with a bare set, minimal costumes and props, and staged with the audience on three sides of the stage.The challenge to its audience was to participate in the storytelling through the use of their own imagination.

ABOUT “mAn Of lA mAnchA”

Man Of La Mancha first played at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut in 1965. It opened the ANTA Washington Square Theatre in Greenwich Village on November 22, 1965, then moved to Broadway on March 20, 1968. The show starred Richard Kiley as Quixote and Joan Diener as Aldonza. It ran a total of 2,328 performances. It won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Richard Kiley won a Tony for his performance as Cervantes/Quixote. Jose Ferrer, David Atkinson, John Cullum, Hal Holbrook and Lloyd Bridges also played the role during the run of the production. It was revived with Kiley in 1972 and in 1977. Productions of Man of La Mancha were mounted all over the world. The 1992 revival starred Raul Julia and Sheena Easton. In 2003, Brian Stokes Mitchell starred with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. The 1972 film starred Peter O’Toole (sing-ing voice dubbed by Simon Gilbert) and Sophia Loren. Today, the show enjoys 300-400 productions each year. The Director of our production, David Wasson, said: “Man Of La Mancha was not only the start of my profes-sional career, it was to become the foundation of my life. Albert Marre took me out of Florida State University to play the role of a guard in the 1972 revival at Lincoln Center. This was virtually the complete original cast including the star Richard Kiley. I went on to do the 1977 revival at the Palace, again with Mr. Kiley, and the 1992 revival with Raul Julia. I not only performed in these revivals but acted as Mr. Marre’s assistant, learning so much about the origins of the show. Mr. Kiley, as well, became not only a mentor to me, but a dear, close friend. The conversations we had about Man Of La Mancha were many and deep. And after almost 30 years and 1400 per-formances I have come full circle. I feel fortunate to have actually dreamed the impossible dream.” In its heart, Man Of La Mancha is about the 1960s, andby extension, about any time of political unrest – includ-ing today – and about the responsibility each of ushas to make the world a better place.

whO’S whOperformers, directors and designers gather to create the best in Musical Theatre. (They have produced more shows than most Broadway pro-ducers. Man of La Mancha is our 195th Mainstage Production.) The Westchester Broadway Theatre is the longest running, 52 week a year Equity theatre in the State of New York. Each show is produced exclusively for the theatre and each is approached in the same manner as Broadway Productions: casting Broadway per-formers at auditions in New York City, and hir-ing the creative staff (Directors, Choreographers, Musical Directors, Set, Costume and Lighting Designers). On the dark nights of the musicals, Bill and Bob have presented over 900 Monday and Tuesday night specials and, in 1997, inaugu-rated the Gold Star Series of Concerts present-ing Jackie Mason to a sold-out house. Other great performers in the Gold Star series have been Tom Jones, George Carlin, Paul Anka, Wayne Newton, and Harry Belafonte. With the continued support of the people of the tri-state area, we pledge to continue to present the best in theatre and dining.

ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIATION(AEA), founded in 1913, rep-resents more than 45,000 actors and stage managers in the United States. Equity seeks to advance, promote and foster the

art of live theatre as an essential component of our society. Equity negotiates wages and work-ing conditions, providing a wide range of bene-fits, including health and pension plans. AEA is a member of the AFL-CIO, and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of perform-ing arts unions. The Equity emblem is our mark of excellence. www.actorsequity.org
