Someone on "All That Chat" is saying Encores! may be doing Kismet this year. *Drool*...LOVE that show. One of my all-time favorite scores. When I did Me and My Girl, Amy Brackman and I used to sing "Rahadlakum" together all the time. "Let's discuss the nature of virtue...Virtue is its own reward....On days when my lord groweth restless/And bored with his sword and his gloom...'Tis sweet with the meat of the leechee nut/Combined with a kumquat and riiiind/The kind of confection to drive a man out of his Mesopotamian miiiiiind!"

I would LOVE to play Lalume, Wife of Wives. Marsinah has some great songs, but Lalume is much sexier.

Such wonderful poetry in that score. Sure, the music is great--you can't go wrong with Borodin. But the lyrics are incredible--"Strange spice from the South/honey through the comb, sifting/Imagine these on one eager mouth/And this is my beloved..."
