Winner of 3 Tony® Awards
including ‘Best Musical’
This enchanting musical is set in opulent palaces, teeming bazaars and lush moonlit gardens. Kismet is the fable of the poet Hajj’s (Gary Rowley) love for his only daughter, the beautiful Marsinah and of his innate knowledge of life’s many twists of fate.
Making their first appearances with The Production Company are Janet Todd (The Magic Flute) and Josh Piterman (West Side Story) as the young starcrossed lovers Marsinah and Caliph. Chelsea Plumley is the sexy Lalume. Returning to the company in the role of The Wazir is the double Helpmann Award winner, Mitchell Butel.
Kismet’s exquisite score is based on the music of the great Russian composer, Alexander Borodin and includes, Stranger in Paradise, Baubles, Bangles and Beads and This is My Beloved.
The creative team that staged The King and I last season return to direct, choreograph and conduct this inspired staging of Kismet.
