Robert Cuccioli, who recently starred in the acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, is set to star as Don Quixote in the upcoming White Plains Performing Arts Center production of Man of La Mancha.  This new production of the Tony Award-winning musical based on Miguel de Cervantes' classic tale, "Don Quixote" will be the inaugural production of the Broadway Classics series at the theatre to play November 29-December 16.

His recent theatrical credits include Guys and Dolls, Temporary Help, Lorenzaccio, The Sound of Music and the Actors' Fund benefit concert of On the Twentieth Century.  He recently appeared in the out-of-town try-out of Lone Star Love.
