Les milles et une vies d'Ali Baba

Les milles et une vies d'Ali Baba is a French musical which had a great run in Paris and was a huge hit in 2000.

Most musicals today seem to be derivative, a collection of existing hit songs, or Andrew Lloyd Weber productions. And they are all in English. This is really limiting.

Les milles et une vies d'Ali Baba is the type of musical that could and should go global. Sure, it is all in French, but then most classical operas are in Italian, French or German. Just include the lyrics in both English and French in the souvenir program.

The song 'A quoi bon' was a huge hit in France and charted highly.
