Man of La Mancha
Montclair Musical Theatre, NJ
Man of La Mancha – Theater At Its Best
“Directed and choreographed
by Gary John La Rosa and starring talented veteran performers Robert
Aronson and Julie Rogelstad, this latest offering maintains the MOC
tradition of presenting superb community theatre bound by the highest
professional standards.”
“The result is pure magic…”
“…and with Gary John
La Rosa's chilling fight choreography, they provide much of the dramatic
steam.”
Naomi Siegel – The Montclair Times
MOC’s Dreams Are Not Impossible in ‘La Mancha’
“…continues its long tradition of
excellence with its current offering, Man of La Mancha.”
“…a visually stunning and emotionally
stirring production. Resident director Gary John
La Rosa has once again
delivered a piece of theatre as layered as it is evocative.”
“Using the dungeon’s set dressings
as scenery and the other prisoners as actors, Cervantes unfolds the
story of Quijana/Quixote under the expert guidance of La
Rosa, who
takes us far and wide, keeping the pacing alive and the staging innovative,
athletic and fascinating.”
“Also an expert choreographer, La
Rosa’s talents in this
area are not as showcased by this script as in past shows, with the exception
of the Moorish dancer scene and ‘The Abduction.’”
