0042: Kismet and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus

BORODIN's music was never written for a musical, but he still managed to win a Tony in the fifties (66 years after he'd died) for Kismet, the musical (or is it an operetta?) based mostly on his score for Prince Igor. It was recently revived, to dire reviews, at the ENO. Tim and Thos discuss. Also, as a followup to our Kids' Stuff episode, Tim and Nick interview Adam Bampton-Smith of Big Wooden Horse Theatre Company about his show for children, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.
