Kismet: A Stage Concert

Spreckels Performing Arts Center
5409 Snyder Lane Rohnert Park

Kismet takes a 1001 nights of mirth, mayhem and romance and compacts them into a single dazzling musical. A Tony winner for "Best Musical" -- and later a movie directed by the inimitable Vincente Minnelli -- this Broadway favorite is a veritable Aladdin's cave of sparking dialogue and enchanting melodies, including tunes like "Stranger in Paradise," "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads," and "Not Since Ninevah." Music and comedy intertwine in its fairy-tale plot revolving around a scheming poet and his daughter, who both get mixed up in adventure and romance. Now Spreckels Performing Arts Center presents a concert version of Kismet, with performers in full costume on stage with a live orchestra and gorgeous sets.
