* GeniusBonus: Manchego cheese, originally from the La Mancha region of Spain, is commonly served with a thin rectangle, or 'mambrino', of golden-colored quince jelly paste on top. Don Quixote puts a shaving basin on his head and calls it "the Golden Helmet of Mambrino", making him, of course, the "cheese from La Mancha" in this analogy.

** The barber can be played this way; for example in the Creator/KelseyGrammer production he was played by a small, effeminate who initially volunteers for the role of Antonia. When he comes out as the Barber, he scampers of in a flamboyant costume with a DastardlyWhiplash moustache and rouge around his face.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The French version, ''L'Homme de La Mancha.'' The legendary Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel saw the English version on Broadway, and was so moved that he promptly set about translating the show into French, even though he wasn't fluent in English. The result is a translation that plays a bit fast-and-loose at times ("It's All the Same," for example, turns into "Un Animal," in which Aldonza calls herself an animal, and all of Sancho's songs are cut) but is powerful and moving all the same. The original cast CD -- with Jacques Brel performing as Don Quixote himself, ''mais bien sur'' -- is well worth a listen.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Even [[JerkAss The Duke]] sings along to the final reprise of "The Impossible Dream."
** Just like in the Crowning Moment of Funny, this is performed by a cell full of criminals. In the opening scene, they all seem to be completely without sympathy or hope, but as they perform the play they have the time of their lives and completely get swept away with the story. By the end of the play, they all seem to be genuinely inspired and content, even though they all will no doubt be awaiting torture or execution shortly.
