About show:

Ruffled skirts swirling, toreadors strutting, street dancers cavorting, and so much more in this unforgettable, fully–staged production. With its maddeningly hummable Minkus score, Don Quixote is filled with endless delights, sparkling wit, and show–stopping dancing in this stylish rom­–com. It’s classical dancing at its most exquisite—and demanding. The leaps! The balances! The bravura!

The story:

Follow the journey of Don Quixote, Sancho, Kitri, and Basilio.

Don Quixote is in his study, engrossed in a book about ancient chivalry. He falls asleep and dreams that he is a knight defending his ideal woman, Dulcinea. While he sleeps, Sancho Panza bursts through the door. The gluttonous Sancho has stolen a ham, and a group of exasperated housewives is pursuing him. Startled by the commotion, Don Quixote turns the angry women out of the room. An idea then comes to him: He will make Sancho his squire, and together they will set out on an adventure to defend virtue and punish those who don’t uphold the code of chivalry.
