1st Night Photos: Olé! Forsyth Flamencos at Zorro
Gipsy Kings band members and brothers Andre and Canut Reyes had first nighters – including Strictly Come Dancing host Bruce Forsyth and his Puerto Rican wife, and former Miss World, Wilnelia Merced – dancing inside and outside the Garrick Theatre at the West End opening of Zorro last night (15 July 2008, previews from 2 July).
Leading the 30-strong cast of Zorro, Matt Rawle reprises his performance in the title role and Lesli Margherita plays Inez, alongside new West End company members Emma Williams as Luisa and Adam Levy as the villainous Ramon. The musical is based on the 2005 bestseller by Chilean novelist Isabel Allende about Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional wealthy caballero who defends the people of Spanish California against injustice.
