Man of La Mancha is one of the world's most popular musicals. Inspiried by Miguel de Cervantes' 17th-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.

Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of the elderly Alonso Quijana who renames himself "Don Quixote" and goes on a quest to right wrongs in the world. The rousing Spanish-inflected score includs the classic numbers The Impossible Dream, I, Don Quixote, Dulcinea, I Really Like Him and Little Bird.
