Open Sesame! is a retelling of the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves in the musical comedy form of pantomime.

He stumbles across a vast treasure and uses it to woo his love while beset by greedy family and deadly foes. India provides more than just a backdrop for the story, infusing the musical numbers as well.
