"Kismet" is a great show with Wright & Forrester's lyrics set to music by Alexander Borodin.
It doesn't promote Islam in any way.
It's one of the few classics I have yet to see on stage, but I'd jump at the opportunity to do so.
Allegra, I HAVE seen it live on stage, in the round. Fabulous. Hope you get to see it soon. It’s real treat.

Looking back now, I realize I was fortunate enough to have actually seen Robert Preston on Broadway in “The Music Man,” not quite front and center, but only two or three rows in back of the orchestra. I still remember him throwing an arm in my direction at one point during “76 Trombones.” He was at his prime then, so I know, too, this was a while back.
Seeing a Broadway play with someone like a Howard Keel in it must really be something.
