Based on Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, this
iconic musical
relates the story of Cervantes, imprisoned
by the Spanish Inquisition for
committing a crime
against the Church. As part of his defense, and with
the help of his fellow prisoners, he performs a play
telling the story
of Alonso Quijana, an aging man who
enjoys books of chivalry and
adventure, and who
believes himself to be a knight errant known as Don
Quixote. With his loyal friend and squire, Sancho Panza,
at his side,
Alonso travels off into the countryside on
numerous misadventures and
befriends a reluctant,
bitter and hardened woman known as Aldonza, but
whom Don Quixote calls his Lady Dulcinea. Together,
the unlikely trio
seek out "The Impossible Dream."
