as Cervantes/Don Quixote

"Eric Anderson gives a tour de force performance as Cervantes/Quixote. Anderson's Cervantes is world-weary, played with a Charleton Heston-like, clench-jawed idealism. His sweet Quixote is a stiff-legged, doddering charmer. He is wonderful when he draws to the stage's lip to sing "The Impossible Dream," and his flailing heartbreak when he admits his true identity in the "Knight of the Mirrors sequence is wrenchingly sad." --North County Times
