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.

Her face flares in coquettish outrage at brash Basil's proffered kisses; she singes and melts at the same time. When she is onstage with the demented man of La Mancha, the tart señorita turns spindrift. She not only sees his visions but sees around them. Her poignant movements tell everyone watching what she knows: she is the earthly incarnation of the Don's beloved Dulcinea and how sad that life and visions cannot meet. Gelsey is, in short...
