==Productions==
The musical first played at the [[Goodspeed Opera House]] in [[Connecticut]] in 1965.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.goodspeed.org/shows-tickets/past-productions|title=Goodspeed Musicals – Past productions including Goodspeed original productions; Man of La Mancha, Shenandoah, Annie and many more!|website=www.goodspeed.org|access-date=2017-05-20}}</ref> [[Rex Harrison]] was to be the original star of this production, but although Harrison had starred in a musical role in the stage and film versions of ''[[My Fair Lady]]'', the musical demands of the role of Don Quixote were too heavy for him. [[Richard Kiley]] instead became Don Quixote. 

After 22 previews, the musical opened [[off-Broadway]] at the experimental [[thrust stage|thrust-stage]] [[ANTA Washington Square Theatre]] in [[Greenwich Village]] on November 22, 1965. The show moved to Broadway to the [[Martin Beck Theatre]] on March 20, 1968, then to the [[Village East by Angelika|Eden Theatre]] on March 3, 1971, and finally to the [[Mark Hellinger Theatre]] on May 26, 1971, for its last month, a total original Broadway run of 2,328 performances. Musical staging and direction were by Albert Marre, choreography was by [[Jack Cole (choreographer)|Jack Cole]], and [[Howard Bay (designer)|Howard Bay]] was the scenic and lighting designer, with costumes by Bay and Patton Campbell.<ref name=ibdb/>

[[Richard Kiley]] won a [[Tony Award]] for his performance as Cervantes/Quixote in the original production, and it made Kiley a ''bona fides'' Broadway star.<ref>Gussow, Mel.[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/06/theater/richard-kiley-the-man-of-la-mancha-is-dead-at-76.html?pagewanted=1 "Richard Kiley, the Man of La Mancha, Is Dead at 76"],''The New York Times'', March 6, 1999</ref> Kiley was replaced in the original Broadway run by first [[Jose Ferrer]] on Broadway and in the 1966 National Tour, and then by operatic baritone [[David Atkinson (baritone)|David Atkinson]]. Atkinson also performed Cervantes/Quixote in the 1968 National Tour and for all of the matinee performances in the 1972 Broadway revival, which also starred Kiley.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1969/09/08/88861378.pdf|title=Atkinson Rejoins Musical|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=September 8, 1969}}</ref>

The original cast also included [[Irving Jacobson]] (Sancho), [[Ray Middleton (actor)|Ray Middleton]] (Innkeeper), [[Robert Rounseville]] (The Padre), and [[Joan Diener]] (Aldonza). [[John Cullum]], [[Hal Holbrook]], and [[Lloyd Bridges]] also played Cervantes and Don Quixote during the run of the production.<ref name=ibdb/> Keith Andes also played the role.

The musical was performed on a single set that suggested a dungeon. All changes in location were created by alterations in the lighting, by the use of props supposedly lying around the floor of the dungeon, and by reliance on the audience's imagination. More recent productions, however, have added more scenery.<ref>Guernsey, Otis L. ''Curtain times: the New York Theatre, 1965–1987'' (1987).
