Kismet

Published: Jan. 6, 2021, 10 a.m.

Season 2 premiere! 

Join John (and John in spirit) as we open our second season with Kismet - a musical that takes a less-tropic look at a fanciful story in the vein of 1001 Nights. John talks about his love of Alexandr Borodin, how this show might fare today, and just how much borrowed music there is in Kismet.

Book by Charles Lederer and Luther Davis

Music by Alexandr Borodin, Robert Wright, and George Forrest
