The Musical Sancho Panza
The Musical Sancho Panza is a two-act 2005 Spanish musical which premiered in Madrid to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote.[2][3] by Miguel de Cervantes. The play is a humorously presented look at the social landscape of the 16th and 17th centuries, including the customs, beliefs, professions, and trades of the era, while updating those points of the play by displaying it in the looks and forms of the 21st century. Opening at the Teatro Nuevo Apolo, the play's music and original lyrics were created by José Luis Narom. Narom collaborated with his wife, lyricist and costume designer Inma González[4] (Image designer and production manager on "The Blackout"[5]).
