I saw Richard Kiley perform this on Broadway and then was lucky enough to see Brian do the same. But it was not the same...Brian made the part his own...and his rendition of the Impossible Dream was truly spectacular. I had the lead in the Man Of La Mancha in College and after seeing both of them perform, it was sooo difficult to do the song justice. I am very glad I found it on You Tube. I listen to this everyday...very inspirational. I also worked at Fox when they were making TRAPPER JOHN...wish I had gone of the set to let Brian know how much he performance meant to me.
Try Richard Kiley's version. Kiley belts it, and manages to rip your heart out with the feebleness of his body, but his will shines through. This is excellent, however.
While this performance was done at the Tony Awards that year, on the Broadway cast soundtrack CD recording Brian ends this on a different high note which will give you chills. The reaching of his voice on the last few lyrics is just remarkable. If you have the chance, treat yourself to this Broadway cast recording because it's an investment for your soul! M
The writers of this amazing song, Brian S. Mitchell, Mary E. MastroAntonio, the one who uploaded this perfect video, Miguel de Cervantez Saavedra, Don Quijote, ALL DREAMERS searching for the perfect world where honor and love are practiced every day.....PLEASE....COUNT ME IN......
I absolutely play this song when times are tough. Such a powerful song, and his performance was the best I have heard of it. I'm a big fan of Brian Stokes Mitchell's work, so I might be biased. It is this role of his, however, where I first discovered him. I was lucky enough that me watching Centaurworld tagged me enough to get a Facebook ad for one of his performances I could attend.
I remember channel surfing and I landed on this just as it started. I was blown away by the sheer power and beauty of this performance. Sometimes you get lucky!
Une merveille!! la voix, l interprétation! Moi qui suis française et bercée par Brel , je trouve que cette interprétation est magistrale , émouvante. Il y a tout ce qu'on recherche dans cet air.
Wonderfully beautiful. The best version of this song I’ve ever heard. Thank you v much for posting. Across miles, I wish you well/healthy Have a nice day🙂Stay healthy everyone.
Amazing, no matter how hopeless, no matter, I will stand, after fight for the unreachable and I will always still fight, for peace. Gaza. Peace! Justice doesn't require killing the innocent!
"This is my quest. To follow that star No matter hopeless, no hopeless no matter how far to fight for the right Without question or pause to be willing to march into hell in a heavenly cause. 😭"
I'm only five chapters from finishing the book. And watching this made me cry. I kind of scoffed at the book's premise everywhere but I feel it really has caused a change in me. Word to the wise, if you are a conservative realist, reading the book might cause you to suddenly wake up to find yourself agitated to fight the impossible fight against the many ills of society.
@@BigPimp238 Hmm... that's a fair assessment, if you've only read a synopsis instead of the actual book. You see of the hundred of pages of text, I'd say 80-95% of the time, the author and the writing is rather sympathetic to the protagonist.
...saw the original at the ANTA Washington Square Theater in Manhattan in October of 1966 as part of Senior (3rd year) Spanish class...with Richard Kiley & Joan Diener...I still have the original Playbook...

What a joyful find to bad there is no information to get the whole presentation, but the interpretation feels better than the polished dressed interpreters besides the voice and expressions of this Quijote
Beautiful song. I love the play on words and concepts of this version in English, playing by contrasting opposing ideas. As in "be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause". In the Spanish version we don't have that, but I like the acting, physical appearance and body language of the actor in Spanish from the 1970s better. Heroes and superheroes of all times would have much to rescue from this heroic and ideal representation of Don Quixote condensed in this song. th-cam.com/video/72WRdem_EBQ/w-d-xo.html Bellisima canción. De esta versión en ingles me encanta el juego de palabras y conceptos que se hace, jugando al contraponer ideas opuestas. Como en "estar dispuesto al infierno marchar por una celestial causa". En la versión en español no tenemos eso, pero me gusta más la actuación, apariencia fisica y lenguaje corporal del actor de la hombra en español de los 1970s. Heroes y supereroes de todos los tiempos tendrían mucho para rescatar de esta representación tan heroica e ideal de Don Quijote condenzada en esta canción.

To dream, the impossible dream To fight, the unbeatable foe To bear, with unbearable sorrow To run, where the brave dare not go To right, the unrightable wrong To love, pure and chaste from afar To try, when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march into hell For a heavenly cause And I know, if I’ll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I’m laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last once of courage To reach the unreachable star.
He was portraying the hobbled, weather beaten old geezer in the famous musical, singing the ditty. He himself is NOT like that, he's playing DON QUIXOTE, 'the man of la mancha'!

This may be the finest rendition of this song I have heard in my life. What an amazing voice!
I agree wholeheartedly. Its very inspiring!

I listen to this once a day. I’m SICK I can tell you. 😂😂
Or at least one of the best...
Try Richard Kiley's version. Kiley belts it, and manages to rip your heart out with the feebleness of his body, but his will shines through. This is excellent, however.
Such a tremendous voice, the feeling he puts into it is just awesome.
Okay this had me 😭. It's so moving. Who knew chivalry could be this stirring to the soul.
Poor girl ....only asked him what a quest was .....and got this .......Fantastic

Tenks Brian, is a lovely interpretation.
The singing gives justice to the meaning of the song. A gentleman's way of conveying the truth of the song.

Best performance of “The Impossible Dream”
In my 60s now and I still cry at this. His voice, so full of pathos and melancholy. Ahh dammit. I'm off again and me a bloody 6ft 2" old biker.

It was amazing, he was amazing when I saw this in person.
Amazing, no matter how hopeless, no matter, I will stand, after fight for the unreachable and I will always still fight, for peace. Gaza. Peace! Justice doesn't require killing the innocent!
This is the perfect example when we had real actors and unbelievable talent.
Oh, my God. It is fantastic!!!!!!!!
My favorite version. Stokes and Mastroantonio are glorious.

No the book doesn't think Don Quiote is a heroic character
He makes everyone's life worse with his refusal to deal with reality.

To dream, the impossible dream
To fight, the unbeatable foe
To bear, with unbearable sorrow
To run, where the brave dare not go
To right, the unrightable wrong
To love, pure and chaste from afar
To try, when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know, if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last once of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

Great singing, in tone, power and inflection. Strange stiff body language, and strained facial expression.
He was portraying the hobbled, weather beaten old geezer in the famous musical, singing the ditty. He himself is NOT like that, he's playing DON QUIXOTE, 'the man of la mancha'!
