ZORRO, THE MUSICAL This legendary story of good versus evil has been a source of enduring fascination and has been the subject of a best selling novel by producer Isabel Allende and several major motion pictures. 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 stage with the authentic colours of traditional Flamenco.

CULTURE CLASH'S ZORRO IN HELL
The Latino comedy trio Culture Clash's premiere of Zorro in Hell at Berkeley Repertory Theatre during March and April 2006 garnered rave reviews. The show moved to La Jolla Playhouse from September 30th through October 29, 2006 creating guffaws and more triumphant reviews. This set the stage for a commercial run at The Ricardo Montalban Theater during the summer of 2007, from July 11 to Sept 15, 2008. Once again, critics lauded the show and audiences doubled over with laughter.
Culture Clash is the country's leading Chicano/Latino theatre and comedy troupe. Originally commissioned and produced by Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the La Jolla Playhouse Theatre, and Zorro Productions, Inc., the comedic trio takes on the iconic hero, El Zorro, the fox, viewed through their lens as social satirists.
California was born from a clash of cultures and now, Culture Clash explodes the romantic myths surrounding its creation. Employing their usual irreverence, the trio takes on this legend to explore contemporary questions of homeland security in the Wild West when Anglo-Americans struggled with such issues as Mexican immigration, Indian gambling and a governor born on foreign soil. At long last, it's a Latin look behind the mask of this mainstream icon created by an Irish American. Zorro rides out of the pages of pulp fiction, through the Hollywood image machine and beyond the barriers of class, race and ethnicity to become a hero for the oppressed in every land. Both history and histrionics play a role when Zorro is unsheathed!
