Robert Wright, George Forrest, and Charles Lederer’s 'Kismet' received a spectacular, multi-Tony-nominated grand-scale revival framework at the New York State Theater in 1965 under the banner of the Music Theater of Lincoln Center. Subtitled "A Musical Arabian Night," the melody-infused operetta farce chronicles a fast-talking street poet who maneuvers through an intricate series of backroom deceptions to conquer Baghdad. Directed by Edward Greenberg, the blockbuster production famously starred Alfred Drake reprising his definitive, Tony-winning performance.
