About Zorba on Broadway
Story for Zorba
"I live as if I would die any minute." So says Zorba (John Turturro), the force of nature at the center of John Kander and Fred Ebb's 1968 musical about love, loss, and what it means to be truly alive.
Zorba! tells the story of a shy American intellectual named Niko (Santino Fontana) who befriends the irrepressible jack-of-all-trades Zorba. As they traipse across the island of Crete, the two men dance, philosophize, and pursue women—including a French innkeeper with a mysterious past (Zoë Wanamaker).
Kander and Ebb's haunting score captures the spirit of Greece, complete with eight-string bouzouki music and a Greek chorus of storytellers led by Marin Mazzie.
