Kismet

Packed with mirth, mayhem and romance, this classic comedy has enough adventure and delight to last at least 1001 Arabian nights!

With three Tony Awards (including Best Musical), a television version and an MGM smash film, Kismet is one of the most renowned musicals to grace the Great White Way. Kismet has proven a winner with audiences time and again, thanks to its exotic setting, appealing characters and wry sense of humor... not to mention a lush score that is adapted from the soaring melodies of Alexander Borodin.

A series of well-navigated, sticky circumstances have landed the quick-witted Public Poet in opulence. His rolling in gold is cut short when his maneuvering comes full circle, though, and he is forced in front of the Wazir, who is set to chop off The Poet's hand. As luck would have it, a last-minute realization stays the Wazir's hand and saves The Poet's. The wild ride continues as The Poet's daughter falls in love with the handsome Caliph, The Poet falls in love with one of the Wazir's concubines and everyone falls in love with the whirlwind of occurrences that could only happen on an Arabian Night!

Kismet is a surefire hit! Comedy reigns supreme in its masterful libretto, and delicious melodies abound in Kismet's score, thanks to the creative geniuses behind Grand Hotel and the writer responsible for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It's a must-produce for theatre companies across the world!
