Zorro the Musical Theatre Tickets

Garrick Theatre 2 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0HH

Directed by Christopher Renshaw, the creative force behind productions such as We Will Rock You and a revival of The King and I, the musical is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Isabel Allende, also the show’s producer.

British performer Matt Rawle will star in the title role alongside former Tony Award nominee Adam Cooper and Aimie Atkinson, winner of the BBC’s Voice of Musical Theatre 2006.

The 30-strong cast will be joined on stage by leading flamenco dancers choreographed by internationally renowned flamenco star Rafael Amargo, and will perform to a score by Grammy Award-winning band the Gipsy Kings, including hit songs Bamboleo, Baila Me and Djobi Djoba.

Directed by Christopher Renshaw, whose recent UK and Broadway credits include The King and I and We Will Rock You, ZORRO features the choreography of internationally renowned flamenco dancer Rafael Amargo.

Enjoying movie star status in Europe, Rafael is a regular face on glossy magazine covers throughout the continent, and has been photographed by Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz and Christopher Makos. Whilst he adheres to the purest flamenco style Rafael has assimilated other types of dance, influenced by his studies at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance in New York. The Spanish artists Luis Gordillo and Esperanza D´Ors have supported his career and he has won four Max Awards (the most important performing arts awards in Spain), three as Best Dancer and one for the Best Dance Show of the year.

ZORRO is produced by Zorro Productions, Inc. and aka Productions, headed by John Gertz and Adam Kenwright. New York Times-best selling author Isabel Allende serves as a creative producer on the show. Allende's 2005 bestseller ZORRO: A Novel is the classic tale of the origins of the ZORRO legend and was an inspiration for the Zorro musical. Her books have sold more than 52 million copies in 30 languages. Born in Chile in 1942, Isabel began her career as a journalist and television presenter in Chile and Venezuela.

Created in 1919 by pulp writer Johnston McCulley, the iconic character Zorro has been featured in film, live action and animated television series, books, comics and even in a soon to be released Nintendo Wii game. Zorro is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional wealthy caballero and master swordsman living in Spanish California, who defends the people of the land against injustice.

This new musical retells the dramatic tale of a romantic hero with extraordinary aerial acrobatics, spectacular sword-fighting and incredible magic - all set to the famous red-hot Gipsy King beat brought to the UK stage with the authentic colours of traditional Flamenco.
