Zorro is a musical with music by the Gipsy Kings and John Cameron, and a book and lyrics by Stephen Clark and Helen Edmundson, based on the 2005 mock biography Zorro: A Novel, the first origin story of the pulp hero Zorro, written by Chilean author Isabel Allende. It is a prequel to the events of the original Zorro story, Johnston McCulley's 1919 novella The Curse of Capistrano. It also contains numerous references to earlier Zorro-related works, especially the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro.

The musical is scheduled to open at the Garrick Theatre in London on 30 June 2008.^[1] The musical's website announces that Christopher Renshaw will direct and Rafael Amargo will choreograph.
