Why was some POS like “Kismet” picked in the 1st place? To prove their tolerance and diversity BS for Muslims, that’s why. A%%holes! They couldn’t go with “West Side Story”? “Willie Wonka”? “Alice in Wonderland”? “Fiddler on the Roof”? “Guys and Dolls”?
West Side Story - Too violent
Willie Wonka - Too much Big Sugar
Alice in Wonderland - PETA problems
Fiddler on the Roof - Too Jewish
Guys and Dolls - Too Hetero, homophobic..............
You do realize that “Kismet” is an all-American Broadway show that starred the great Alfred Lunt? It showcases two of the most beautiful songs in the great American songbook: “Baubles, Bangles and Beads” and “Stranger in Paradise”. These songs were sung and recorded by American artists throughout the 50s and 60s. These songs provide an amazing and unusual opportunity for young singers to stretch their talent.
I can assure everyone of this board that the show has NOTHING to do with Jihadis. Only in your fevered imaginations.
You know, I live near an inner city - I want “West Side Story” banned. I also live in a country that has a lot of serial killers. So now I want “Sweeney Todd” banned.
You people are off your rocker!
Kismet is fAR from being a “POS”, Albie. The music is based on excellent classical music, and two major hit songs evolved from it. These two songs, “Stranger in Paradise” and “Baubles, Bangles, and Beads” are still extremely popular. The play is a well-loved classic, and for you to dub it a “POS” is just a tribute to your severe lack of musical education. To paraphrase another popular statement, “just shut up and listen.”
Personally, I can’t wait to see this fine work of art again.
"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.
It’s a frigging musical, for God’s sake. An American written one by the way.
We ban a frigging play, but will let mooslems build a mosque on Ground Zero.
Sheeeez!
