* AdaptationDecay: ''Man of La Mancha'' is not an adaptation of ''Don Quixote'', but a work inspired from it. It is however common to find people who attribute the line "Too much sanity may be madness and maddest of all. To see life as it is, and not as it should be" to ''Don Quixote'', when it is actually original to the musical. Same with assuming that the original books cheer on Don Quixote and portray him as heroic for rejecting reality, or that the original Aldonza was as beautiful as Sophia Loren.

The story is based on ''Literature/DonQuixote'', or more precisely, the man behind ''Don Quixote'', 16th-century Spanish author Creator/MiguelDeCervantes. Part of what makes the musical notable is its use of a FramingDevice, with the ShowWithinAShow providing the actual meat of the narrative.

A 1965 musical based on ''Literature/DonQuixote'', or more precisely, the man behind ''Don Quixote'', author Creator/MiguelDeCervantes. One day, he and his faithful manservant are unexpectedly arrested by UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition. As they await trial, their fellow prisoners put them on trial. With all of his possessions on the line, De Cervantes decides to put on a show as his defense. Care to guess which one?
With a little imagination, the dismal dungeon is transformed to rolling hills, as Cervantes and his servant -- now none other than Don Quixote and Sancho Panza -- set out in search of grand adventures and other derring-do. As they play at their routine, [[PrisonerPerformance other prisoners take up roles suggested of them]]. In particular, the angry Aldonza, the [[ReallyGetsAround Miss Yo-Yo Knickers]] of the "town," attracts Quixote's interest, and he rechristens her Dulcinea, his noble lady, upon the spot. She is less than amused, but can't help but be intrigued by his idealism... Meanwhile, back at the homestead, the relatives of Alonso Quijana fret about how to save their reputation from the mad fool who's running around the country trying to joust windmills.

One day,
With a little imagination, the dismal dungeon prison is transformed
Coming upon a dilapidated old inn which they mistake for a castle, Quixote and Sancho introduce themselves to the "lord" -- actually, the innkeeper. Soon the angry serving wench Aldonza, the [[ReallyGetsAround Miss Yo-Yo Knickers]] of the "town," attracts Quixote's interest, and he rechristens her Dulcinea, his noble lady, upon the spot.
