ZORRO'S in town
One of the earliest masked heroes, Zorro, is coming to Shanghai in the form of a musical as part of the Shanghai International Arts Festival.
"Zorro the Musical" debuted on the London West End with music by the Gypsy Kings and John Cameron, who had written the music for "Les Miserables." The version being staged is said to be the Broadway version.
Elements like aerobatics, fencing, fireworks and magic and, of course, passionate Latin music and flamenco dancing help spectators feel like a part of Zorro's world.
Cooper Grodin, who plays the lead role of Zorro during the musical's China tour, says the masked man is an easy character to play because behind all the fancy swordsmanship he is a real person.
After "Zorro" completes its Shanghai run, it will move on to Beijing, Chongqing, Wuhan in Hubei Province, Chengdu in Sichuan Province and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province.
Date: Through November 29, 2pm or 7:30pm
Admission: 120-2,080 yuan (US$18.90-327.54)
Tel: 962-388
Venue: Opera Hall of Shanghai Oriental Art Center
Address: 425 Dingxiang Rd
