Banderas to Star in Broadway Revival of Zorba

Antonio Banderas will play the title role in a revival of Zorba which is due to open on Broadway in September 2011.

David Leveaux will direct the production. He has previously worked with Banderas on the Broadway revival of Nine for which Banderas received a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award.

Based on the 1946 novel Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba has a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb and follows the life-changing friendship of a staid American with the Greek.
