“It’s also practically impossible to not fall in love with the protagonist’s muse, Aldonza/DulcineA. Her fierce stomping around the stage and resonant singing makes the audience empathize with her struggle while admiring her presence. Every time she turns her knight away, our heart cracks a little, making the ending all the more satisfying.”
Alexia Sextou, Theater Critic of the Daily NU

“The three leads — Esteban Ortiz-Villacorta as Cervantes/Quixote, Nathan Hiykel as Sancho Panza and Isadora Coco Gonzalez as Aldonza/Dulcinea — are excellent.”
Wendi Kromash, Evanston Round Table
