What are we talking about today?

I'll get back to theme days once I find a groove of posting regularly. In the meantime, most of my posts are about some variation of books, bikes, buses, or Broadway. Plus bits about writing, nonprofits, and grief from time to time.

This blog is mostly lighthearted and pretty silly. It's not about the terrible things happening in the world, but please know that I'm not ignoring those things. I just generally don't write about them here.

Z is for Zorro

Zorro

This photo reminds me of Martin Guerre, but with a Z.

Originally opened in the West End July 15, 2008, after a very short run in Eastbourne.

Currently: Looks like folks have been talking Broadway and a U.S. tour for a while, but neither have materialized yet.

Music: Gipsy Kings and John Cameron

Lyrics: Stephen Clark

Book: Stephen Clark and Helen Edmundson

Basis: 2005 mock biography Zorro: A Novel, by Isabel Allende

Everybody knows about: He has a thing for the letter "Z."

I have thoughts: This was a harder-than-expected choice for the letter Z. There aren't that many plays or musicals that start with "Z", but having to choose between essentially three pretty cool shows was difficult. I finally went with one that seems to have had lots of success everywhere but the U.S.

Here we are at the end of the A to Z challenge! I'm leaving Austin in two days for my next great adventure, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I hope this little trip through the theatrical alphabet has been fun for you.
