Daddy has free tickets to the musical show "The Arabian Nights" and we (mainly I) had a blast watching the show.......It was so hilarious I burst out laughing almost throughout the show....
The show is about a King, Shahriyar, who loved to laugh, until he was betrayed by his wife and lost all his love of women and happiness.... He became a cruel tyrant, marrying a different woman every night and having her executed the next morning.. The King's advisor had a daughter, Shahrazad, who possessed the gift of storytelling... It was now her turn to marry the King and die....
On the night of their wedding, she asked her sister to come an hour before dawn and ask her for a story... Her sister did this and the King became enchanted by the story........ When morning came and the Executioner arrived, the King sent him off as Shahrazad tempted him with the promise of another story that night....
If she can tell the King a new story each night for one thousand and one nights, Shahrazad will save her own life and the lives of the daughters of the city.........
Of course, the 90 minutes show cannot accommodate 1001 stories.......Among the stories told were the more famous ones like Ali Baba, Sinbad and Aladdin.....
The cast was wonderful and had the audience greatly entertained!
I enjoyed the show alot!
