High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Kismet is a musical written in 1953 by Robert Wright and George Forrest, adapted from the music of Alexander Borodin, and produced by Charles Lederer. The story was adapted from the book by Charles Lederer and Luther Davis, based on Kismet, the play by Edward Knoblock. The musical was commissioned by Edwin Lester, founder and director of the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera, and the production premiered in Los Angeles in 1953 before it moved to New York City. The Broadway production premiered on December 3, 1953 at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York. Directed by Albert Marre, with sumptuous settings and costumes by Lemuel Ayers, the show opened in the midst of a newspaper strike and, despite the sparsity of reviews, ran for a successful run of 583 performances. The strike, which allowed the show to become a hit through word-of-mouth, may have been a blessing since the reviews were not all favorable.
