The heartbreaking and inspirational Tony Award-winning musical, based on Cervantes' Don Quixote, about one man’s refusal to give up his impossible dream.
Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial by the Spanish Inquisition. To save his manuscript, and his sanity, 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 all wrongs as a valiant knight.
Featuring unforgettable songs, including “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”
