Whisked away to a fantastical Baghdad, Kismet is a musical brimming with romance, adventure, and a touch of the unexpected. Adapted from a 1911 play, the story revolves around Hajj, a charming but wily poet known for his knack for talking his way out of trouble. When his beautiful daughter Marsinah catches the eye of the young Caliph, Hajj finds himself swept up in courtly intrigue and high stakes.
Kismet's magic lies not just in its captivating plot, but also in its vibrant tapestry of music and dance. Borrowing melodies from the famed Russian composer Alexander Borodin, the musical features lush and exotic-sounding numbers that perfectly transport you to its fictional Arabian setting. With showstopping songs and a delightful blend of humor, romance, and adventure, Kismet is a timeless classic that continues to enchant audiences.
