About the Show

From its opulent palace and teeming bazaars to the lush, moonlit gardens–Kismet is an enchanted musical filled with sensual dance and magical song. A fairy-tale story of one day in the life of Hajj, a poet-beggar, who gains wealth, avenges wrong done to his daughter, discovers new love and eventually triumphs over the corrupt chief of police to become an Emir.

Running side-by-side with his story is that of his daughter, Marsinah, who falls in love with a young gardener–the mighty Caliph in disguise.

The richly scored music includes the unforgettable, exotic and beautiful songs “Stranger in Paradise,” “Baubles, Bangles and Beads,” and “This is My Beloved.”
