That was a great theme song. I have never seen the play so I assume that is what it was.

Saw the revival years ago at Lincoln Center with the original cast. Oh, that magnificent set with the giant lowered staircase! Excellent book, moving story and some nice music. Who can forget a Jewish Sancho Panza?
More misadventures!
Saw on Broadway. The music is lovely. The moral point of the story to me was to hold onto your ideals in the face of adversity.
Much beautiful music in it. I miss the days when this country aimed higher in entertainment. I really thought Sophia Loren a perfect choice for Dulcinea/Aldonza

RIP.
R.I.P., Mr. Leigh. Man of La Mancha was one of the greatest Broadway musicals ever.
Best Best musical and story ever.
From the article: But he had one stipulation {for his real estate development], as he made clear in his television commercials — in which he starred, looking a bit like Quixote — and other promotions: “If you’re not a nice person, don’t call.”
I remember those ads! LOL, I had no idea who he was.
RIP Mr. Leigh, you wrote one song that will live forever, that’s a tremendous accomplishment.
Gomer Pyle, USMC - The Impossible Dream
I link to the long version, which includes the equally good setup to the song. Although Wiki tells me Gomer had sung on the show before I think this was the first I'd ever heard him sing. Awesomely mind boggling!
I was in two different companies of this show (in the 1970s) and still have the scar tissue to prove it. It was a very physical show and I got the crap beat out of me. I wore basketball knee and elbow pads under my costume.
