"Dulcinea" An incredibly beautiful song sung by and incomparable artist.

My father took me to see this play when I was 10 years old. Yes of course I cried at the end when he died. My father bought the album and he would sing he had a beautiful voice. Now at age 65 I try to sing like her and it brings me back to 10 years

[@brendaann727]

Wow that must have been wonderful to have a father that sang & took you to a play! My father was an artist. When I think of the things he showed me, it takes me back too. I took my son to plays when he was younger. Some comedies and classics like this one. We had a wonderful time. 🕊

[@spmadeez]

We need this to come back again.. America needs you.

[@brendaann727]

Yes, we need more with courage & heavenly vision to lift up a lost & dying world. "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to help you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future." 🕊

I love Mastrantonio's version of "Aldonza' here. Her acting choices are really strong. Even when she goes off the music, I don't really mind it because it's in favor of an emotional moment.

[@jpier7991]

Her performance is breathtaking.

[@MrKalmi]

She never goes "off the music" she acts perfectly. One of best the performances I have ever ever seen.

[@jscho8674]

I was lucky enough to see this show live. BSM was mesmerizing.

[@JP-sj5zn]

I sat in that theatre on a trip to NY. Saturday matinee. It was the most mind-blowing production. Stunning performances that knocked you for six. But when BSM sang Impossible Dream, I swear real magic happened. Tears, what tears 😢

[@christopherbush9027]

I would listen to him sing the yellow pages...thank you as always Spiderwoman!

[@user-ie8yk3ct7p]

Thank you! I saw a russian version of this musical and the most recent West End version with Kelsey Grammer. I love Man of La Mancha)

[@jonshear126]

Thank you! She's quote good here. I wish she'd done more theatre and am grateful for the taste you've provided.

[@Roqjoru]

Thank you. We were looking for the closing scene. Thank you.

[@danromero]

What a treat! I remember reviews were a little tough on Mastranonio, but I quite enjoyed her here. And Stokes, never not amazing. Thank you for posting!

[@laurenconrad1799]

Thanks for the upload. I saw a regional production of this show in 2007 and I remember loving it.

[@rolphwartieda2707]

Dulce means sweet, we all know .. that name summarizes adoration for such a woman

[@bartretolatto8688]

So wonderful! Is there a full version somewhere?

[@Bakerboy1958]

BSM is my favorite. I so wanted to see it but it closed before I could get there.

[@EJMInstrumentals]

Oh how beautiful!

[@LongLiveTheKOP]

Please let me know when there’s a full version of this

[@xubs5919]

do you have the full production?

[@orthobro7956]

Please, does someone know if it's possible to purchase this visual recording?

[@teresakuhn3466]

Omg what is this. No one will ever come close to Peter O’tooles performance. This guys eyes look dead for real where is the passion smh

[@outlanderfrog]

Lol, O'Toole literally just stands there. His face barely changes when he sings, not very well.

[@derekheskellderek6037]

Although I would happily call myself a musical theater junkie, I have to admit that I absolutely hate this show, including the song "Impossible Dream". Brian Stokes Mitchell sang it beautifully in this production--- the best I'd ever heard it sung ---but I still loath this show and these excerpts. absent "Impossible Dream", show up the real deficiencies of the score.

[@derekheskellderek6037]

@Mattbrain First, I hate the score, especially the overly bombastic "The Impossible Dream". It's the show tune equivalent of that dreadful pop tune "My Way". Second, the script is pedestrian, even cloyingly sentimental. Third, this production was absolutely ghastly.

[@richarddrews7723]

I agree, bad production. Straight up boring, period.

[@greenacres1909]

To each his own. I've been making my living as a theatre actor since 1992 and also teach now, but I consider this show to be the greatest thing on stage.. even opera, Shakespeare, and anything else for the stage.. It is the reason I became an actor and to me, more moving than anything on this earth.

[@rusedorange]

@@greenacres1909 I agree wholeheartedly! I've seen this show 3 times and I hope I get to see it that many more!
