That’s what audiences will find out when the 1968 musical adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis’ well-loved novel “Zorba the Greek” will be presented by City Center Encores!, May 6 – 10. The show, which features a score by the legendary team of John Kander & Fred Ebb, will be directed by Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Josh Rhodes.
