So many people on this site have referenced the power of the story circle at the beginning of the show (I didn't see the original, though I was in college at the time) that I finally looked at it on the Tony Awards. It was no doubt powerful in it's time, but by today's standards seemed very hippy-dippy to me and a little embarrassing. I'm not crazy about how the Encores version of Zorba opens, but I'm far from sure that a replication of this 1968 idea of new-and-now would have helped any. It's kind of like ethnic-dancing combined with the Newport Folk Festival. Not for me, anyhow.
