Winner of the cw Yo rk Dra ma riti cs' Circle Award as best musical of th e 1965-66 season, it also recieved fi ve To ny Awards, incl uding o n ' for best musical play, the Outer Circl e award , and three citatio ns in Vc, riety '.~ Poll of e \J Yo rk Drama Critics. Ope ning on ovember 22, 1965, it ran for 2,328 pe rformances in its o ri ginal engageme nt. In the summer of 1972 it was revived ( with the sa me principal pe rforme rs) at the Vivian Beaumo nt Theatre, Lincoln Center for 140 ca pacity pe rformances. It has been produced a ll aro und the wo rld and was made into a moti on picture (released in 1972) with Peter O 'Toole and Sophia Lo ren. Dale Wasserman got the idea forMan ofLa Mc, nchawhen he was in Madrid in 1959. A lo 'al newspaper printed an articl e stating his purpose in Spain was to do research for a dramatization of Don Q11i.Yote. Tho ugh the article was incorrect (Wasserman had neve r eve n r •ad the book), it inspired him to read it w hile he was in Spain . Since ervantes' death in 1616, more than 200 theatri cal adaptatio ns of Do 11 Quixote have been made including o peras, ba ll ets, and play. llowever, when Wasserman fini shed the masterpiece, he was convinced "that th is monument 10 human wit and fo ll y could not, and sho uld not, be dramatized. ,. Sti ll , Wasserman found himself intrigued with its author. He began researching the life of Miguel de Cervantes. What he found was a life full of cataMrophes. "What sort of man was this-soldier, playwri ght, actor, tax-coll ector and frequent jailbird-who could suffe r unc •asing fa ilure and yet in his declining yea rs produce th e staggering t 'Stamcnl which is Don Quixote?" The re are many gr •at writers w hose lives have left only a few traces upon th •ir work. This is not so with erva ntes: his biography sheds li ght uro n his masterpieces. He not o nl y made good use of his expe ri ence, he went so far as to include himself, as a mino r chara te r, in seve ra l of his wo rks. Wasserman had fo und his angle. I le decided a real sto1y existed and could he to ld by ble nding the lives of th , real e rva ntes and his fi cti o nal ·'Kni ght of the Woeful Counte nance." The first uy resulted in a ninety-minute tel evision version, which was nominated for an Emmy in 1960. Unsatisfi ed with the result , Wasserman adapted the tel c pl ay into a stage play. Wass •1rnan was unhappy with the work, but it was immediately o ptio ned. [ loweve r, the o ptio n expired before it ever went into r roducti on. It was Alben Marre w ho suggested the work he adarted as a musical play. Teaming urwith Joe Dario n and Mitch Leigh, and with g ui dance from Ma rre, Man q/La J\lancbc, hecarn ' a realit y. Producers and fin ancial hackers regarded it as too ra dica l, special, and intellectua l. ndaunted , the creators fo und othe rs who bel ieved in the musica l. O n ovemb •r 22 , J 965 their fa ith was rewarded with the fi rst of many standing ovati ons. Besides wanting to pay tri bute to the spirit of Mig uel de Ce1vantes, Wasserman has wriuen that the "guiding precept for the w hole endeavor lay in a quotatio n I found lo ng ago in Unamuno : ·Onl y he w ho attempts the absurd is ca pable of achieving th e imrossible ."' - Vicki Kayati Man of LaMa ndw 13 Compliments of MORELAND · ·Flowers FUNERAL byDoris HOME "Serving the Gifts-N-Things Westerville Area 30 East College A venue Since 1948" Westerville, Ohio 43081 (614) 882-0351 t) [1 (?
