Take a dazzling trip on a musical magic carpet ride through the colorful legend of Scheherazade, the greatest storyteller of the ancient Arabian world.  Scheherazade is called upon to use her tale-spinning talents to save her people from certain destruction.  Betrayed by his betrothed, the hot-tempered King Raynah decides to punish all the women in his kingdom.  Armed only with her wit and just a smattering of magic, Scheherazade weaves the classic Arabian tale — underscored by captivating musical themes — for the king himself.  Her enchanted story transforms royal counselors into powerful genies and mutates the king into his own worst enemy — a woman.  By the final curtain, the king has become a victim of his own revengeful plot.  In addition to engaging songs such as ’She’s a Friend,’ ’Come to the Bazaar’ and the hilarious ’You’re So Lovely,’ sung by Skeeter and King Raynah after his transformation into a woman, this musical score is filled with exquisite instrumental music that heightens the magical and mysterious ambience of the story.  This delightful musical adaptation has been written specifically for simple production with an extremely flexible cast, many wonderful roles, and an enchanting musical score.
