Kelsey Grammer and Danielle De Niese are sharing an impossible dream: they are leading a revival of a musical not seen on stage in decades. The two are speaking in interviews shortly before “Man Of La Mancha” opens on April 26, the first West End production of the show in more than 50 years.
The Impossible Dream’ is one of the most perfect songs from one of the most perfect stories in our human experience. It is really compelling, beautiful and uplifting. I have been busy rehearsing it and sang it beautifully in the shower this morning!” The song has been performed by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Andy Williams, Luther Vandross, The Temptations and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir among others. Grammer especially likes the 1966 version by Jack Jones.
The international opera soprano De Niese says she is enjoying working with the cast and producer Lonny Price. Part of the show’s run overlaps with her starring role at Glyndebourne Opera that takes place south of London. Her only worry is whether Britain’s notoriously unreliable railroad system will get her there from Glyndebourne. “I will be there, even if I have to sprout wings,” she says. Cassidy Janson will perform on days that she cannot attend.
“I remember that ‘Impossible Dream’ song, it used to be one of my mum’s favorites,” De Niese adds. “There are many more though.

Grammer, who has won Emmy Awards and Golden Globes, says: The take I am looking for is that Frasier has a third act, rather than pick up where the second act left off.
