Mitch Leigh, R. I. P.

MAN OF LA MANCHA Composer, Mitch Leigh, Dies at 86: The New York Times reports that Mitch Leigh passed away today at age 86. Leigh was born in 1928 in Brooklyn, NY. He came from a humble background with little theatre experience. However, while in his early 30s, Leigh received his big break when he was asked to compose the score for Man of La Mancha.
