Carson’s confusion seems untenable. La Mancha played on Broadway, but it definitely wasn’t typical Broadway fare, and pulled much more on Off-Broadway and downtown theatrical influences than Broadway. Hair gets a lot of ink for being the counterculture experimental show that innovated modern musical, but Man of La Mancha was at least as important.

Carson didn't understand that ANTA was a Broadway theater, primarily because of its location. There were/are a number of well known celebrities who (years ago mostly) made some incredibly ignorant remarks about Broadway shows, which showed their stunning lack of knowledge. Barbara Walters comes to mind, who stated on more than one occasion that the original production of Chicago was a notorious flop. And then there's Isabelle Stevenson!
