Current shows from Israel Musicals

Kismet: From November 16 to November 29, 2010.

The story, the choreography, and, oh my goodness, the music! It's magic.

Israel Musicals has successfully completed a four-city run of the show. Audiences were impressed and moved by the quality of the singing, the musicality and the choreography. Our production was a staged concert, which we performed without sets. Our goal is to let the work be the central focus, although we did stage the action and have full (and beautifully colorful) costumes.

Kismet is the classical music lover's musical. The songs are the soaring romantic melodies of Russian composer Alexander Borodin. And This Is My Beloved comes from his String Quartet No. 2. Gesticulate comes from his Symphony No. 1. And, of course, Stranger in Paradise is from the Polovetsian Dances.

Yet, Kismet is much more than just the music. It's a musical Arabian night, filled with humor, romance, bloodthirstiness and happy endings. We are performing the entire show, complete with wonderful choreography and acting. Come see why it was chosen Best Musical at the Tony awards of 1954.

Heard on the Tamar Yonah radio show: "I really enjoyed it.. the singing was really, really nice. Tamar Geist .. was terrific. That woman can sing.. she was amazing!"

Who is the only 18th century classical composer to win a Tony award?

Not everybody knows that classic songs such as Stranger in Paradise, And This Is My Beloved and Baubles, Bangles, and Beads, come from Kismet. Not everybody knows that Alexander Borodin is the only 19th century classical composer to win a Tony award! This musical theater masterpiece has so much to love.
