Lee Pelty was best known for his performances in numerous productions of a musical adapted from what Dale Wasserman non-musical 1959 teleplay?
Man of La Mancha Man of La Mancha is a 1964 musical with a book by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion, and music by Mitch Leigh. It is adapted from Wasserman's non-musical 1959 teleplay "I, Don Quixote", which was in turn inspired by Miguel de Cervantes and his 17th-century masterpiece "Don Quixote". It tells the story of the "mad" knight Don Quixote as a play within a play, performed by Cervantes and his fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition. The work is not and does not pretend to be a faithful rendition of either Cervantes' life or of "Don Quixote". Wasserman complained repeatedly about taking the work as a musical version of "Don Quixote".
The World of Paul Slickey The World of Paul Slickey (1959) is a play by John Osborne. It was Osborne's only attempt to write a musical, intended as a social satire on high-society gossip columnists. After the huge successes of Osborne's previous plays "Look Back in Anger" and "The Entertainer", the play was to become "one of the most spectacular disasters in English theatre".
