Man of La Mancha 
By Dale Wasserman 
Music by Mitch Leigh 
Lyrics by Joe Darion 
March 23-27, 2022 
The classic musical returns to JLT for the first time in over 40 years! Inspired by Cervantes 17th century masterpiece Don Quixote, this powerful, brutal, hilarious and heartbreaking musical celebrates the perseverance of an old man who refuses to relinquish his ideals and passions. The celebrated score includes “The Impossible Dream”, “Dulcinea”, “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”

Joplin Little Theatre is pleased to announce the next production – Man of La Mancha written by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Leigh, and lyrics by Joe Darion.  The production is co-directed by Marilyn Bouldin and Chet Fritz.                                                                                                                            As with the best of allegorical tales, the oppressive mood of the fight against evil is heightened by the occasional comic, and at times dramatic attempts of the hero to right all the wrongs of the world. Though his efforts seem puny and pathetic at times, there is no doubt that his intent is pure as he continues his self-imposed crusade.

Inspiring and thought-provoking, the story is both entertaining and moving and will warm the heart of anyone whose spirits were ever raised by the prospect of a victory by the underdog against all odds.

This musical delight contains one of the most moving moments in musical theatre as Don Quixote relates his personal credo in “The Impossible Dream.”

The cast is as follows:

Karl Wendt as Don Quixote/Cervantes

Jeff Phillips as Sancho Panza

Logan Carnes as Captain of the Inquisition

Michaela West as Aldonza/Dulcinea

Jonathan Dresner as The Innkeeper/Governor

Jakob Butler as The Duke

Corin Staggs as Dr. Carrasco/Knight of the Mirrors

JJ Ramos as Padre Perez

Anne Marie Wright as Antonia

Briana Blair as The Housekeeper

Logan Carnes as The Barber

Elijah Brown as Paco

Chet Fritz as a Muleteer

Makenna Coble as ensemble
