Swashbuckling adventure musical featuring red hot flamenco and the music of the Gipsy Kings
About Zorro
Based on the 2005 bestseller by Chilean author Isabel Allende, Zorro tells the story of Diego de la Vega’s travels between California and occupied Barcelona, his first love and his fight against oppression by the man he once thought of as his brother. This stage adaptation of a classic story is directed by Christopher Renshaw and choreographed by flamenco legend Rafael Amargo, and received crritical acclaim on its recent UK regional tour.
A dramatic, funny and fast paced story fuelled by romance, swashbuckling action, fire, magic and energetic flamenco, the spectacular Zorro is driven by the timeless and unique Latino rhythms of the legendary Gipsy Kings. The sensational company includes several classically trained Spanish dancers and singers alongside West End favourites Matt Rawle and Emma Williams as Diego and Luisa.

Zorro The Musical: Zorro’s a cut above
Zorro has stormed into the West End and his derring-do proves the perfect antidote to the credit-crunch blues.
Indeed, this almost insanely enjoyable musical, with a fabulous score of stamping flamenco, tavern choruses and tender love songs by the Gipsy Kings, looks like the surprise hit of the summer.
I feared the worst after the last Spanish show at this address, a Hispanic Peter Pan that sounded like the Eurovision Song Contest and looked like a nightmare dreamed up by Salvador Dalí. But the sword-fighting hero with the mask, the black hat and the cape - invented by pulp fiction writer Johnston McCulley in 1919, and a thriving franchise ever since - proves to all his sterling worth.
