Man of La Mancha in London

Starring:

Danielle De Niese, Kelsey Grammer

Man of La Mancha – The classic 1965 musical

Man of La Mancha is a classic musical dating back to 1965, inspired by Wasserman's 1959 teleplay, which was in turn inspired by the all-time classic 17th century novel Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes. If Cervantes had known, back in the 1600s, that his story would resonate so powerfully down the ages, he'd be thrilled. And 21st century audiences are about to be thrilled all over again by this ancient, delightfully eccentric, always-relevant story.

Meet the mad old knight Don Quixote, whose story is told by Cervantes to a group of fellow prisoners while they're waiting to be judged by the Spanish Inquisition. The show is packed with magical tunes including The Impossible Dream, so popular it has a place in the American lexicon, known and loved far and wide.

The original 1965 Broadway production ran for more than 2,300 performances and achieved an impressive five Tony Awards including Best Musical. It has been revived on Broadway four times so far. It has made friends and influenced audiences across the world, with foreign language productions in a vast range of languages and dialects including Dutch, French, Hebrew, Irish, Korean, Icelandic, Bengali, Gujarati and Uzbek, as well as nine separate Spanish dialects.

The musical's many show tunes include Man of La Mancha, Food, Wine, Aldonza!, It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only Thinking of Him, We're Only Thinking of Him, and The Missive, and they're just the tip of the iceberg. This time around it's English National Opera who are bringing the musical to the London Coliseum. It stars Cheers' Kelsey Grammer and the brilliant Australian opera singer Danielle De Niese. And it's on for a limited 6 week run.

Grammer enjoyed his West End London stage debut in 2017, in Big Fish. His first Broadway musical was a dazzling revival of La Cage aux Folles, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. He also created the roles of Charles Frohman and Captain Hook in Broadway's Finding Neverland.

Danielle De Niese has been singing since childhood, when at nine she won an Aussie TV talent competition Young Talent Time. 2005 saw her playing Cleopatra in a production of Guilio Cesare at Glyndebourne, and since then her voice has taken her around the world. This fantastic production is directed by Lonny Price, of Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill fame.

Who is this show for?
This show is recommended for people aged 13 and over.

Terrible do not waste your money. Every aspect was sub standard.

This show needs to be taken off. The set, sound, costumes, presentation is a complete flop. My family all walked out at half time after paying £89. per person. Shameful.

Relative to the story

Prior to attending, not knowing the theatre, I was concerned at the time booking, that we might not have a very good view, therefore, was very pleasantly surprised when we went in. A lovely theatre. I might have had to bring someone in a wheel chair, in the endI didn’, therefore don’t know have easy to access the facilities. Thought the ticket prices very a on the high side but overal it was a very enjoyable afternoon. Thank you.

un peu déçu

Don Quichotte a une belle voix parlée , mais je n'ai pas aimé sa voix chantée . Trop fort et sans apporter de rêve ..... peut-être pour moi trop de souvenir de Jacques Brel ... Sancho et Dulcinée sont très bien ... j'ai bien ri avec Rossinante Donc l'impression globale est mitigée . Nous étions merveilleusement bien placés au 1er rang de la corbeille ! ! !

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It was well acted, and had a good storyline, full of twists and turns, and drama, with singing full of passion.

Ignore the critics

After hearing there were mixed reviews was sceptical about going to see this show first seen 50years ago. I had no need to worry. Wonderful show which holds the attention full time. Nicholas Lyndhurst excellent in both his roles. Who knew he could sing so well! Emotional ending and well deserved standing ovation.

Pleasant experience but only average

A couple of good songs, plot a bit slow and acting weak in parts. Danielle de Niese very good and Kelsey Grammer is a good orator and crooner but needs amping up a bit. The guy that sang Little Bird has an excellent singing voice. Orchestra excellent.

I have seen this show several times over a period of many years. It's a beautiful story and always moves me. I think that the thing with Cervantes and the jail and the going back and forth between fantasy and reality is unnecessary. It's a beautiful story in and of itself and survives the fantasy very well on its own.

Throughly enjoyed this show!

Was not sure what to expect but was really entertained by this show. Well acted, good song writing and good humour dotted throughout. If anyone was thinking about seeing this show I would advise they give it a go!
