Kismet revival?

I've only recently become enamored of the wonderful music in Kismet, and have checked out some of the recordings: Doretta Morrow, Alfred Drake, Richard Kiley (amasing voice), Vic Damone, Ann Blyth, Dolores Gray, etc. Great stuff. I understand the book has some problems, but my main question: could a revival work today on Broadway, or would it be too "problematic"? If this has been covered before, excuse me and point me to the right thread.

It would be a great opportunity to employ an entirely Arab-American/Muslim cast, director, and book contributor.

Without that, it's an absolute no-go.



Gorgeous score, though.
