 This musical is about the character Don Quixote from the classic novel of the same name by Miguel Cervantes. And I appreciate you saying that this one should be in the history books because I do remember it being one of the more beautiful stories that I learned in my Spanish class in high school. I don't think I was at Cervantes' level of Spanish at age 16. But the story is famous. Don Quixote is an idealist on an absurd and epic quest to defend the helpless and bring back the ways of the knights.
