That's a real ignorant statement and shows how little you know of Spain. Isabella I of Castile (Spain) was blonde herself. There are many blondes and red heads in Spain. That's only the English "Black Spainard" idea that Spain is all dark haired and swarthy... England has always held a bias against Spain and it has prevailed and seems to be taken as common knowledge here in the States which is just plain racist.
The first time I saw this, the woman was everything this Dulcinea was not: dark-haired, cautious, pessimistic; she also generally acted as I would imagine a bar maid/ prostitute would act. I thought that the blonde hair and the voice didn't fit this role.
I will admit, though, that my comment about Spain was off target. But I will say that I actually DIDN'T know that there were many blondes in Spain. I truly thought red-heads, brunettes, and dark-haired girls were the only common colors.
I think that you would have to agree, though, that the blonde hair is less important by far than all of the other things that you listed. The appearance of Dulcinea (or Quixote, for that matter) is not half as important as the character.
The rest of the play was much more like what you describe as Dulcinea. When she sings Al Donza you definitely can tell that it is far more rough than it seems right here.
Alex you are amazing. I saw Man of La Mancha twice; it was an amazing production. It was the first HB APA show I saw and now I'm going to try and see them all. I saw the song performed at the Cappies Gala '07 from Miss Siagon and that was amazing too. You are so blessed to be lucky enough to attend such a wonderful academy and to be blessed with such extrordinary talent. I hope you plan to make this your career.

I love the Quixote- which is surprising as I usually like them older than him.
I wasn't a fan of the Dulcinea, though. She just had too sweet of a voice. And she didn't seem skeptical enough. And Blonde? In Spain? Come on.
