Synopsis: The hit Broadway musical based on Miguel de Cervantes's novel Don Quixote is brilliantly adapted for the screen by director/writer team Rob Marshall (Chicago) and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) with Richard Gere (Chicago) in the title role, and Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago) as Dulcinea, and Alfred Molina (Broadway’s Fiddler on the Roof) as his devoted sidekick, Sancho. Classic songs include "The Impossible Dream," "I'm Only Thinking of Him," "Dulcinea" and many others.

What the press would say:

While often funny, the subject matter is quite serious, as are the questions it asks: Is believing in truth, beauty, justice, honor, just a mad delusion? Is it better to see things as they are, or as they should be. Does art have worth? and many others. Add to this wonderful music and a great cast and you've got magic!
