Last night we walked a few blocks into Center City, ate dinner at El Azteca restaurant, and another block to see Man of La Mancha. We loved it!! I don't know how many of you have seen that musical, but we highly recommend it. The production here was great, too - excellent casting, great voices, and fantastic stage work. We saw it at the Walnut Street Theatre, Americas oldest theater (founded in 1809). {It's very cool living in a city, especially one with as much history as Philadelphia.} We saw a small production there once before, and decided to subscribe to their main stage productions this season, so we have tickets to all five of their big shows this year. Between yesterday and next June we'll see: Man of La Mancha, Peter Pan, The Odd Couple, Arther Miller's The Price, and Les Miserables. But I digress. Go see Man of La Mancha. It is both entertaining and inspiring.

I second the motion! Mindy and I saw it last year done by the Utah Festival Opera. Very very entertaining.
I remember going to Dallas one time to see Don Quixote...however I don't remember it. Oh the things stored in my brain I can't pull up. It seems like it was a play instead of a musical. Is that possible?
Granny, it is possible that it was a play, but I bet the music would have helped you to remember it! The singing was fantastic.
What FUN! We've seen Les Miserables at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake. It was great. It's nice to lose yourself for a couple hours in a play or musical.
Umm, so I see SHawn beat me to the punch. We loved the play when we saw it. The next day we ran out and bought the book. The book is HUGE. We are still working on getting through it.
