Man of La Mancha
8860 Lawrence Welk Drive, Escondido, 92026
Miguel de Cervantes sits in a dungeon. To make his case, he stages a drama the prisoners act out. At the Welk, director Dan Mojica has them also playing instruments, and playing them well. As Cervantes/Don Quixote, John Lalonde sings the iconic songs with strength and feeling, and Natalie Nucci gives Aldonza the necessary grit. A strong support cast includes John Polhamus, Daniel Berlin, and A.J. Mendoza. Jennifer Edwards-Northover's expert lighting helps make the dungeon become whatever Quixote imagines.
Worth a try.
