Book by Joseph Stein

Music by John Kander

Lyrics by Fred Ebb

Adapted from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis

This splendid musical ran for a year on Broadway and was followed by a widely acclaimed national tour. The story of Zorba, the Greek, carefree vagabond and his chosen friend and master, unworldly Nikos; the romance of Zorba and the aging courtesan Madame Hortense and of Nikos and the withdrawn, beautiful widow; a mine disaster, murder, suicide, a blood feud—Zorba! has all the ingredients that make for dramatically engaging theatre. The powerful score from the composers of Cabaret and Kiss of the SpiderWoman includes Life Is, No Boom-Boom, The Butterfly and I Am Free. Compelling music and a rousing story make Zorba! an outstanding opportunity for musical theatre performers and audiences alike.
