"One of the best shows of the year...a laudably gutsy, deeply complex, exceptionally powerful production...and heart-felt piece of work....this is not your parents' 'Man of La Mancha.'"
—Chicago Tribune, Court's 'La Mancha' not your average light opera, by Chris Jones (10/10/05)

"Director Charles Newell has devised an intimate, cut-to-the-drama version that emphasizes the show's play-within-a-play structure and gives full voice to its semi-operatic score."
—Chicago Sun-Times, Drama, talent not imprisoned in 'La Mancha', by Hedy Weiss (10/10/05)
