Man of La Mancha is the timeless story of author Miguel de Cervantes' alter ego, Don Quixote, who sees only the best in everyone and pursues the loftiest ideals, "no matter how hopeless, no matter how far." Initially ridiculed as an idealistic fool, Quixote eventually transforms those around him, helping them see the world "not as it is, but as it ought to be." The show's signature song, The Impossible Dream, is an anthem for anyone on a quest of their own.
