"The Hot Springs Music Festival will stage the world premiere live performance of Aladdin, Cole Porter's last musical, as part of this summer's lineup in the spa city."

It’s a pretty interesting story. Richard Rosenburg, the festival's artistic director, went on a five year search and rescue mission to find what was thought to be a lost piece. He found the original libretto at Yale and the original score and orchestra parts in the New York Public Library. The show will run June 5-11 in Hot Springs.
