...Mancha, which did run for five years (more or less) is still playing at the Music Hall -- but not for much longer. Its imminent departure may make getting tickets the impossible dream, but make the effort anyway, taking the chance that Richard Kiley will recover from his backstage accident a few nights ago to recreate the role of his career. Unless you thought he was better in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, in which he didn't even sing. Call 482-0406 for reservations...
