CARPENTER PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, LONG BEACH

"Incandescent...Thrilling...Remarkable"– Los Angeles Times - CRITIC'S CHOICE

"Davis Gaines gives a stellar portrayal...Lesli Margherita is a powerhouse." – Backstage - CRITIC'S PICK

"If you want proof that Musical Theatre West is a multi-award winning musical theatre, go to the Carpenter Center.  MAN OF LA MANCHA is one of the most thrilling, smash-hit productions that MTW has mounted in its 60-year history...You can't afford to miss it."– Grunion Gazette

"One of the all-time great musicals, featuring one of the all-time great standards.  At the height of the Spanish Inquisition, author Miguel de Cervantes is imprisoned and uses the story of the knight-errant Don Quixote to defend himself.  Full of indelible characters and a beautiful Latin-tinged score, the original production of MAN OF LA MANCHA ran for six years on Broadway and won the Tony for Best Musical."
