Zorro

The musical Zorro, directed by Christopher Renshaw, is based on the bestseller by Isabelle Allende, and features a score by the Grammy Award-winning band Gipsy Kings. The creative team also includes co-composer and musical arranger John Cameron and author Stephen Clark.

Created in 1919 by pulp writer Johnston McCulley, Zorro — the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega — is a fictional wealthy caballero who defends the people of Spanish California against injustice. Allende’s 2005 novel reveals how the young Diego de la Vega became Zorro, weaving together Spanish and Californian history, Native American legend, mythic folk tales, and pirate adventures.
