I will never understand why they always go for the Dulcina angle..it breaks the illusion. Aldonzo should be rough, dirty, and not an enginue. however you spell that.
Definitely the best performance of this song on here. Beautifully sung and acted, without being OTT (unlike others). Hats off to an very talented lady (read her CV).
I've watched a couple different performances of this song on YouTube. This is my favorite.
I've never seen "MoLM," so I don't really know the story. But why does it seem like EVERY Cervantes is a melodramatic over-actor? I would almost guess that it's the style of the piece, but Aldonza is portrayed much more realistic.
@krapenc Yes, it's the style of the piece. Cervantes is portraying the character of Don Quixote, kind of like a play within a play. Don Quixote, like the character in the original novel by Cervantes, has read so many stories about chivalrous knights fighting dragons and other demons, that he has gone off the deep end mentally. That is why he thinks windmills are monsters, Aldonza (a prostitute) is a refined upper class lady, a trashy inn is an elegant castle, etc.
@ChicagoSouthDan There is a scene later in the play that you probably won't find on youtube because it involves no singing. Don Quixote's family, for his own good, decide to locate him and bring him back to reality. They confront him with mirrors, and everywhere he turns he sees a reflection of himself as just a crazy old man. At the end of the scene, he just collapses. When I saw it, it knocked me out.
I really admire this. Full of passion and desperation and fighting to keep the demon of hope out. That's Aldonza! Nice job. And I really LOVE that little stomp that you put in there.

I think this song fits very well for Amanda Young of Saw. Poorness, pain, and a prostitute as character...sounds much like Amanda to me.
