I was one of the lucky ( and older 
) ones who saw both Richard Kiley and Brian Stokes Mitchell in the role. Sorry, but Richard Kiley is still the quintessential Don Quijote to me - Brian Stokes Mitchell's wonderful voice nothwithstanding. Richard's portrayal was so moving and so powerful that I was so awed all throughout ( and teary-eyed) the performance. Stokes's acting left me rather unmoved.
Man of La Mancha is one of my favourites from musical theatre.

Posted: 1/18/05 at 3:03pmShe's going to be in the upcoming revival of "Sweet Charity" at the Hirschfeld -- everyone says she's going to be incredible. I THINK she's playing Nickie but I could be completely wrong.

Posted: 1/18/05 at 5:08pmI thought the show was beautiful. I was shaking at the end and nearly in tears.

<< Does anyone know Natascia Diaz? What is she like? >>
She is absolutely stunning and a sweetheart !!! Met her at Bryant Park during the MOLM run, and then became friendly with her during all of our MOLM visits. She is so sweet !! Always took the time to speak with us, even when she was running off to auditions ! Cant wait to see her again in "Sweet Charity" !
