I love Zorro, I've seen it twice, saw it once for my birthday then loved it so much I had to take a friend who also loved it (*coughabovememberJessiecough*

). I felt both performances were similar, Adam Levy I agree with Jay222 was just a powerhouse, Lesli was better the first time I saw her but evryone has good and bad performances, I think Matt and Emma and the ensemble is brilliant. There's a massive energy within the cast. I don't know how they manage all that dance 8 times a week. When people at the front of the stalls, it tends to start the rest of them standing which is what happened both times I went.
The criticism here seems to be over the acting which I thought was great, it's the script I was concerned about. The camp bits are all funny but it feels like the script has been written around the funny scenes. The story could probably be made more emotive, and the script they have given Ramon 'And so God created man in his own image' etc. I get that it shows how much he thinks of himself, but it's a stiff script and a few lines I don't think you'd catch any human beings saying in real life.
