Luis Alvarez "Zorro", the musical, is a production by
Luis Álvarez and El País de las Maravillas,
with the Spanish rights acquired from
Zorro Productions Inc. "Zorro" is the fifth
large-scale musical produced by Luis Álvarez
for audiences in Madrid and subsequent
national tours. The show follows in the footdsteps
of "Cindarella", "Miriam in Wonderland",
"Robin Hood" and "101 Dalmatians", each in
keeping with the foundations upon which this
magical house of dreams, El País de las Maravillas,
has built its reputation. The company has grown
at an incredible rate, racking up one hit after the
next. In 2002, El País de las Maravillas successfully
opened up doors into other countries, beginning
with the UK, Italy and France, becoming the first
ever Spanish production company to take on the world market.

Luis Álvarez is one of the youngest, most innovative producers Spain has to offer, a man who puts his faith in spectacular shows for all the family, both in Spain and abroad, without being held back by daunting production costs. He works alongside a team of the finest professionals and doesn't skimp when it comes to achieving the most dazzling effects available. His aim is to show with each of his productions that dreams can become reality. To get there he follows the old Grouch Marx saying to the letter: the only thing standing in the way of ones desires is oneself. Conscious of this, the mind of this brilliant producer is equipped with a horizon of infinite dimensions which allow him to develop his creativity to its full potential - obstacle free.

Manuel Bandera stars as "Zorro", the hero of Johnston McCulley's novel, alongside a wholehost of other fantastic actors. He appears mounted on Tornado, a real horse, and takes centre stage in the marathon of mysterious, tender and action-packed scenes, for which a team of expert swordsmen have been especially drafted in. 785 million pesetas have been invested in this new production to ensure the kind of quality which can't fail to delight all the family.
