Characters: presenter, astrologer, performer of oriental dances.
(The hall is decorated in oriental style(fruits, organza, oriental lanterns, pillows).
On the wall- a comic collage from a photograph of the wife of the hero of the day in different years and in different images.
The collage is called "My Favorite Harem". To the sounds of A. Ukupnik's song "Petrukha" the presenter comes out.)
Leading: Good evening friends! I welcome you to today's celebration, which I am pleased to begin with poetic lines:
Abode of wisdom and the sun,
A sprout of great antiquity!
His mysteries are endless -
I invite everyone to the east!
Dear guests! Today we have a chance to feel the whole flavor of the East, namely: make a trip to the famous oriental bazaar, smell the aromas of various spices, taste outlandish fruits, see the original dance of an oriental beauty, get acquainted with the famous Baghdad astrologer and much more! This wonderful gift of fate - to visit a real holiday of oriental life - became possible thanks to the hero of the day, respected ... (name patronymic of the hero of the day).
And it is to him that I dedicate the first ancient oriental toast: Once to the padishah, who became famous for his good deeds, the magician came and brought him three priceless gifts. He told him: “My first gift is health! May you be strong and not subject to illness. My second gift is the oblivion of fears, sorrows and troubles. Cleanse your soul from these hardships! And the third gift is the gift of intuition, which will tell you in life the right move." Let's wish our hero of the day these three gifts: health, oblivion of sorrows and intuition, which would lead a happy life through life! (Short pause.) Host: Friends! In the previous wise oriental toast, we wished the birthday man to have three priceless gifts in life: health, forgetfulness of sorrows and intuition. And now let's ask him to accept three no less valuable gifts purchased at a real oriental bazaar. All three items symbolize wealth, which is also very necessary in our lives!
(Three assistants in oriental costumes carry out beautiful trays souvenirs that are presented to the hero of the day with brief explanations for them.)
1. A three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth is a very popular oriental symbol of great luck. The coin in the mouth represents gold. The easiest way to activate money energy is to place one toad in each room of the house or put it on office desk. The main thing is to make sure that the toad sits with its back to the door, as if it had just jumped into your house.
2. Money Tree- the most common symbol of wealth. An old oriental legend tells about it: when a tree is shaken, golden coins fall to the ground like raindrops. We hope that the rain of these coins will literally flood your home. But be careful - don't drown!
3. Oranges and tangerines in a beautiful vase - in the east they symbolize gold and successful business. Let a vase with these fruits decorate your home at any time of the year!
Leading: Once, in an eastern caravanserai, I overheard beautiful words of wisdom that I want to say today in this hall: lush foliage of those trees that have deep roots. Of course, you guessed that we are talking about the inseparable connection of children with their parents. We bow low to the respected ... (first name and patronymic of the parents of the hero of the day) for their love and patience! After all, they gave the world such a beautiful son! (Congratulations to the parents of the hero of the day.) (Short musical pause.)
The chorus of the song "Oriental Tales" performed by the group "Brilliant" sounds.
Leading: It is known that the East is full of secrets and mysteries. Perhaps the most mysterious and charismatic oriental personalities are magicians and soothsayers. Meet one of them - the keeper of great secrets, a connoisseur of human destinies, a sage and astrologer from Baghdad, Huseyn Huslia!
An astrologer comes out, he has a turban on his head, in his hands is a small book in a velvet cover, on his wrist is a bag of coffee beans.
Astrologer: Oh dear ones! Greetings to all of you and especially to the noblest husband who has gathered such a large number of friends! I believe that prosperity and happy summers await all those present! Let me arrange a small exam on the knowledge of the most ancient oriental science - astrology. So, my friends, pay attention! Zodiac horoscope divides the year into twelve signs, to which my questions are devoted:
1. What is the zodiac sign of the royal title? (A lion)
2. What sign can whistle on the mountain? (Crayfish)
3. What sign is similar to itself like two drops of water? (Twins)
4. Which sign can lead to flooding? (Aquarius)
5. What sign has sharp horns? (Capricorn)
6. Which sign can accurately hit the target? (Sagittarius)
7. What sign is the husband of a meek sheep? (Aries)
8. Which sign is the most feminine? (Virgo)
9. And what sign is considered the most stubborn? (Taurus)
10. What sign will a woman never agree to stand in the presence of a man? (Scales)
11. What is the sign of a poisonous sting? (Scorpion)
12. What sign does every angler dream of? (Fish)
Astrologer: I made sure that you are well versed in the teachings about the stars, planets and their combination, but the exam is not over yet! A real magical oriental talisman will be received by the one who calls:
- the sign of the zodiac under which the hero of the day was born;
- a symbol of the year when the birthday boy was born.
The guests who answered these questions correctly are given bean and bean beads by the stargazer. Beans are considered in the east as a love talisman, as well as strong amulet. To make beads, you need to soak the beans in water, string them on a thin fishing line and let dry. In parting, the astrologer offers to tell fortunes to the hero of the day in the old oriental way - on coffee beans.
The stargazer takes out 6 coffee beans from his bag and passes them to the hero of the day.
The birthday boy, under a calm oriental melody, pouring grains from hand to hand, must imagine how coffee seeds are saturated with his energy. Then he needs to bring his palms to his forehead, close his eyes and focus on the exciting problem. After that, the fortuneteller throws the grains on the table, and the astrologer counts how many of them fell upside down, and reads out a prediction: when solving a problem that worries you, you will discover a lot of new and useful things. In the meantime, open a bottle of wine and don't think about anything!
The stargazer says goodbye and leaves. The 1st verse and chorus of the song "Harem" performed by Irina Allegrova sounds.
Leading: Is it possible to imagine the East without beautiful brown-eyed beauties;
without the magical ringing of monist, sparkling beads, flowing chiffon and silk, delicate velvet;
without the brilliance of jewelry and the charm of music that turns every woman into a fabulous goddess.
Our holiday will not do without incendiary oriental dance. Meet Jamila - a wonderful representative of the East!
Music sounds, the dancer performs a dance. At the end of his speech, Jamila silently leaves a mysterious bundle on the table and disappears.
Leading: Like these ones lovely women live in the East! Let's see what's inside the package.
The presenter takes out a hookah and an old parchment with an inscription from the package.
Leading(unfolding parchment): This is an appeal from all Eastern women to our hero of the day!
Is reading:
Padishah of the Persian fairy tale!
We ask for indulgence.
And from all Eastern women,
We present you a hookah as a gift!
Let in dreams immediately arise
Sensual concubines groans.
And hookah smoke will give
Sleep and sweet languor.
All of us, women of the East,
We would be glad to get into your harem
Night, moon, hookah and you -
There is no better reward in life!
Signatures: Gulchatay, Zuhra, Zarina, Guzel, Saida, Hafiza, Leyla, Zulfiya and further 18 more female names.
Leading(passing the hookah to the hero of the day): Unfortunately, we have to disappoint these 26 lovely women - they have no chance of getting into the harem of the hero of the day! All harem places are occupied by the only and beloved wife ... (wife's patronymic name). Sometimes difficult, but happy years have been lived with her, and the spouse has always in one person perfectly coped with the duties of a wife, mistress, mother, and keeper of the hearth.
(The host draws the attention of the guests to a comic collage of photographs of his wife).
It is no coincidence that the hero of the day, calling this collage "My favorite harem", awarded his wife the highest title - his beloved and only wife!
(Congratulations to the wife of the hero of the day.)
Leading: I'll tell you a secret: maintaining a harem is not an easy task! In the East they tell the following story: the Sultan's harem was five kilometers from the palace. Every day the Sultan sent his servant for the girl. The Sultan lived to be a hundred years old, and the servant died at thirty. Moral: it's not women who kill men, but running after them! To be ready to conquer many women, you need to have excellent health, as well as a trained body. I invite men to be the owners of the harem and try to win the hearts of the ladies present here! The host chooses two men from among the guests to participate in the competition, and the hero of the day becomes the third participant.
(Competition for men)
Three participants - candidates for sultans - are given hula-hoops and fans.
The one who can spin the hoop around the waist the longest while fanning himself wins the competition and gets the right to be photographed among the beautiful inhabitants of the “harem”, that is, simultaneously with all the women present at the celebration.
During the competition, ladies are advised to cheer loudly for potential sultans. The host sums up the results so that the hero of the day becomes the winner. Even if the birthday boy did not cope with the task, it can be announced that the support of his fans was the most active. The birthday boy and the ladies present at the celebration pose for the photographer.
Leading: Eastern wisdom says: “The tongue is one, the ear is two; Say it once, listen twice! Especially for the winner of the competition, our dear hero of the day ... (name patronymic)
everyone's favorite song from the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus" is performed. The song “If I were a Sultan” sounds, then a dance break.
Leading: You can not ignore the famous oriental cuisine, which has recipes for thousands of delicious dishes that can surprise even the most sophisticated gourmet. It is known that many spices are used in the preparation of dishes in the East. The prize will be given to the one who names the most expensive spice in the world. (Answer: Saffron is the most expensive spice and is valued more than gold, because the process of its production is very laborious.)
The prize for the correct answer is a set of spices.
Leading: I announce women's competition to the best connoisseur of oriental sweets! Why female? Because they are the biggest sweet tooth.
(Competition)
Three women take part in the competition, who take turns pronouncing the names of oriental sweets. If the word is not named, the participant is eliminated. Possible options answers: baklava, shaker, kurabye, churchkhela, candied fruit, Turkish delight, gozinaki, badam, nougat, halva, sherbet, roasted meat, marshmallow, marshmallow, marmalade. The winner receives a set of oriental delicacies.
Leading: In the East they say this: you can lead a camel to water, but you cannot make him drink. Men, it's time to check the correctness of these words!
Three participants (men) distribute roles among themselves: the first neighbor, the second neighbor and a penny. The facilitator reads the text, the players drink a glass of vodka at the mention of their role.
Story: Once two neighbors went to the market to sell wine. Along the way, the neighbors sat down to rest and eat.
“It would be nice to drink a glass of wine now,” the first neighbor sighed.
- I agree, but we are bringing wine to sell, and you can’t waste a single drop! - reasoned the second neighbor.
Then the first neighbor searched his pockets, found a copper nickel and said to the second neighbor:
- Pour me some wine for a nickel.
The second neighbor poured one glass for him, then returned the same nickel and asked the first neighbor: - And now you pour me one.
So this penny went from hand to hand until the wineskins were empty, and both neighbors snored drunk and satisfied with the trade.
So let's drink to a good deal!
Participants of the game and spectators drink.
Leading: This is such an instructive story! Our "camels" did not want to drink, but I had to! Now let's do a sobriety test for them. To identify the most sober, I ask the participants in the game to say loudly and clearly the following simple phrase in turn: the concept of social stratification. The men are trying to complete the task, the host announces the name of the "Most sober" and invites him to go to the opposite category, that is, drink a large glass of vodka.
If the player agrees (it is not necessary to drink), then he is awarded the second honorary title "The Most Courageous".
Leading: Friends! And now I propose a test of collective intelligence! You have to correctly solve a riddle with an oriental twist. I will read the text and ask a question, and at the right time you will give me the right answer together, in unison.
Behind the carved trellis of the garden,
Among the greenery of the east,
Three tired travelers
We walked peacefully on a moonless night.
The first said: “Where is she?
The light of my eyes is the moon!
The second answered in the dark:
“May Allah help us!”
Well, the third did this: Eeyore! Eeyore! Eeyore!
It was an old donkey!
Suddenly broke through the clouds
Bright, full, lunar circle.
The first one screamed:
"There she is! The light of my eyes is the moon!
With gratitude in the eyes
The second said: "Oh, Allah!" (Viewers)
Attention! Chorus of the third man tell me the words!
Guest response: Eeyore! Eeyore! Eeyore!
Leading: And now everyone quickly grab your ears. (Pause) Are you all right? Has anyone's ears grown? And then you screamed so naturally ... It was, of course, a joke. And now I will make a serious oriental toast and ask all those present to support me! In the East, they think like this: if you want to be happy for one day - get drunk, if you want to be happy for one week - get sick, if you want to be happy for one month - get married, and if you want to be happy all your life - be healthy! Let's raise a glass to the health of the hero of the day!
Congratulations to the guests, musical pause. During a musical break, the host stops the music and offers to listen to an instructive oriental story.
Leading: The fool saw a watermelon in the market and asked:
- What it is?
- Donkey egg, - they answered him.
He chose the largest watermelon, put it under his arm and went home. On the way, he dropped a watermelon, and it rolled downhill, hit a stone and cracked. And then a hare jumped out of the bushes and ran away.
- Oh, what a quick donkey hatched, and I missed it! - regretted the fool.
At this point, I had to say: let's drink to fools, without whom it would be boring to live in the world! However, I prepared a surprise and changed the ending of this story: so let's taste this ripe, fragrant watermelon, and I hope no one in this room expects a donkey to hatch from it.
Assistants take out a watermelon, treat guests. The musical pause continues. Host: The East has given humanity many very useful inventions. I ask you to raise your hands of those who have an “A” or “B” in history in their matriculation certificate. Guests raise their hands. The host invites them to go on stage and holds a competition "Great Inventions of the East".
(Team competition)
Three teams of 2-3 people participate.
Each team is given three items:
- Calendar, sheet of paper, pack of tea;
- A chess piece, a silk scarf, a bag of rice;
- Compass, chopsticks, paper figurine (origami).
The task of the teams is to conduct a historical study in 1 minute and determine in which country each of the items was invented.
(Correct answers: calendar - Egypt; chess - India; origami art - Japan; paper, tea, compass, silk, rice, daddies - China.)
The team with the most accurate answers wins the right to keep the items as prizes.
Leading: Friends! I propose to look into the eastern Antiquities Shop, where among the coins, weapons, utensils, clothes, household items and other antiques you can find really old and mysterious objects. An example of such an unusual acquisition can be this vessel.
The host demonstrates a bottle of five-star Armenian cognac, made in the form of an amphora.
Leading: Giving this mysterious vessel as a gift for our birthday man, the seller of the Antiquities Shop told me the following story:
The ancient vessel was raised
From the waves of the mysterious sea.
And in it - a gray-haired magic genie
Languishing in captivity for centuries!
P.S. At the bottom, the vessel was covered with mud,
Jin was pretty bored.
He was waiting for the cork to be opened,
And even a little wild...
Break the seal of times,
Five stars - like five centuries.
And release the genie in an instant
You are from binding shackles!
Just make a wish -
And he will perform at the same moment!
After all, the famous school of magicians
He was a capable student.
So that the genie of mothballs spirit
Didn't it seem too gloomy to you,
I just spiced it up a little -
After pouring the spirit into the bottle ... cognac.
Leading(passing the bottle to the hero of the day): Handing over this magical vessel, I want to recall the well-known oriental wisdom: make your wishes with caution, because they can come true.
If the hero of the day offers to immediately open the bottle, its contents are poured to those who wish, and the one whose glass is filled last is considered gin. He is obliged to fulfill any wish of the birthday man.
Leading: Friends! Of course you know from school curriculum that such a term as the Great Silk Road is closely connected with the word East. This caravan trade route was the longest and played a role link between countries of different civilizations. I propose to repeat this difficult route right in our hall and deliver some goods to their destination. I need the help of two men who will play the role of caravaners.
The host chooses assistants and forms their "caravans" - two teams of 4-5 people.
(team game)
Team members line up one after another, the caravaneer is ahead of everyone. Then they connect all the right legs to each other, and in the same way all the left legs to each other. On the start line there are various items (there should not be many of them, otherwise the game will be delayed), which the “caravan” needs to deliver to their destination - to the finish line.
To prevent the “caravan” from moving back empty, objects are also placed on the finish line. To the sound of the song "Uchkuduk" performed by the group "Yalla", the teams begin to move, led by caravaners.
The first team to move all the items wins.
The game can be complicated by laying a strip of wallpaper from start to finish, then the participants will need to move strictly along this “caravan route”, without going beyond it. Players of the winning team receive toy compasses as prizes.
Leading: In the East there is a wonderful way to keep the age. Those days that are spent with guests are not taken into account. I propose a toast to you, dear guests, because today, without knowing it, you extended the life of our hero of the day! (Dance program.)
Universal scenario Eastern fairy tale , can be used for any celebration, uniqueize your holiday, surprise guests with an interesting fairy-tale action.

Look, look at us! 1: It seems to me that our master is bored with something ... The Sultan needs a new wife. I told you, less than three - Allah will laugh. 2: There are so many beauties around, you can choose as many as five, we don't mind. Listen, the one our sultan chooses goes to the harem. Whoever refuses will have their legs cut off in the marketplace. A beauty should have three things: Participants are covered with "burqas" and seated on chairs in a row. 1. Why does our master need so many new wives, would only one be enough? 1: Now we'll fix everything, (men wear mask noses and turbans) 1: According to the laws of the East, there can be three or even more women. But a man should be one, one and only 2: Why don't we choose the one and only? Do you know, dear, what needs to be done to please a woman? (answers) We love women with our ears, which means that men should please our ears. Let them sing for us, and entertain the guests at the same time.

game moment -
According to the number of participants, chairs are placed in front of the stage, the participants are invited to take them.
The languid glances of oriental princesses, the aroma of coffee and incense, delicate silk and glitter of gold... A party in the style of 1000 and 1 night is a fascinating journey into a fairy-tale kingdom to the intoxicating sounds of Arabic music. A bright flash of the holiday will blow up gray everyday life with colorful fireworks!
Invite guests to the vizier's chambers or the oriental tent! You can create the right atmosphere both at home and in a luxurious hall. The easiest option is to rent tents and relax in nature, although such a party will require a lot of money.
For DIY decorations, you will need a lot of silk fabric or satin in red, gold or lilac. Drape the walls and part of the ceiling, starting from the center of the room. Instead of fabric, you can use brown gilded wallpaper that imitates a carpet pattern. Hang gold beads, serpentine, curtain brushes. Hide modern furniture under covers or remove all unnecessary, leaving a few soft chairs and low sofas. You can sit on the floor, on colorful silk pillows. Cover the floors with Persian rugs or brightly colored woven rugs.
Hang weapons on the walls - scimitars, sabers, swords and daggers. They can be cut out of cardboard and covered with silver paint (the weapon will come in handy according to the scenario, let it be easy to remove it from the walls). Arrange tall earthenware jars or artificial palm trees in the corners. Place large wrought-iron trays with a variety of fruits and sweets on low tables. Hookahs, peacock feathers, copper and brass dishes, photos of Baghdad, oases, caravans, oriental bazaars will ideally fit into the atmosphere. Don't overdo it with scented candles and incense - the heavy scent may not be to everyone's liking.
The Thousand and One Nights costume party is an opportunity to show off slender legs, a wasp waist and smooth seductive curves. Short beaded tops, wide silk trousers or loose skirts with slits on the sides, large bright jewelry on the wrists and ankles. Bright makeup with an emphasis on the eyes, lush curls, long claws, a piercing or a rhinestone in the navel, a forehead decoration, large ringing earrings - the oriental princess is fully armed!
Men's suits are no less colorful. The image chosen for the party can be any hero of 1000 and 1 fairy tales - a rich vizier, an Arab warrior or a sly city thief (maybe Aladdin himself?). Belted harem pants gathered down, a vest on a naked body or over a shirt, a turban - the richer the fabric, the more complex the knitting of the pattern, the higher the social status of the guest. A tight purse, obviously stuffed with gold coins, hangs on the belt of a wealthy caliph, a sharp scimitar is in the scabbard of a warrior, a thief hides a bunch of master keys in the folds of his clothes.
Seating guests in a way that will be more convenient for everyone, any option will do:
The main decoration will be metal utensils. You can paint with gold paint and paste over a simple service with “precious” stones. Dishes are common, bursting with homemade oriental food - roast meat, pilaf, stewed pieces of lamb with vegetables. Surprise your guests by preparing several dishes according to national recipes. Do not forget oriental bread - flat cakes, pita bread, cereal buns.
For dessert, offer traditional oriental sweets (Turkish delight, baklava, candied fruits, sherbet, halva, etc.), sprinkled with nuts and powdered sugar. You can not do without dried fruits and fresh fruits (peaches, pomegranates, figs, grapes, melons). Fruit and grape wines are in favor, although any drink poured into a stylized decanter will not fall out of the theme.
The wise Scheherazade, who connected with a thin thread all the short stories in the collection "A Thousand and One Nights", told her husband fairy tales of the most varied content. The main roles were given either to real heroes or to thieving commoners. But they were all cunning, dexterous, smart. Stand the script around the main idea of fairy tales: boldly step towards your goal, and you will certainly achieve it. To the oriental music blowing beyond the horizon, hold competitions:
1. The most dexterous (cardboard swords, double fight). The goal is to hit the opponent in the body three times, not allowing the enemy weapon to “pierce” your camp. More for men, but some women don't mind waving scimitars too!
2. The most accurate. Throw darts or spears at the target with the image of a Persian thug. For a laugh, you can twist the shooter several times before throwing or even blindfold him (but then the leader must himself put the guest facing the target).
3. The wisest caliph. Prepare some oriental riddles for the guests to quickly answer. For example, whom does the caravaneer meet often, the vizier rarely, and the sultan never? (equal to himself).
4. The most charming princess. Competition for the best belly dancer. It is desirable that the host or guest animator tell the girls how to move. You can include a video with a clip in the theme.
5. The most eloquent vizier(cards with inscriptions - a pimple jumped up, a huge crooked nose, a bald spot, and other imperfections). The guest who pulled out the card should praise the peculiarity of the unfortunate person with oriental flavor.
Fairy tale plots can be taken as the basis for competitions. For example, in the short story "The Cunning Seller" a beggar bought a tin bowl that allegedly turns everything into gold (cook and stir, but in no case do not think about the dancing bear, otherwise it will not work). Of course, the beggar could not get the dancing bear out of his head and did not weld any gold. Invite guests to sell a broken coat rack, a bald toilet brush, and other ridiculous things, inventing uses for them and praising the worthless product in every way.
Prepare rewards for all guests of the party - books "A Thousand and One Nights", CDs with films on the topic, bracelets, earrings and silk scarves for girls, souvenir daggers with commemorative inscriptions for men.
Sultan: In short!
Sultan: Even shorter!
Sultana: And besides….
Vizier: A tyrant!
Vizier: No.
Sultan: Hey, what are you doing?
Vizier (taken aback): Whom?
Vizier: How is that?
Aladdin: To Norway?
Aladdin: Oh!
Vizier: Did you hear everything?
Baba: Everything!
Ali: That's it, sir!
Baba: Clear. (leave)
4. Music. There are trees, birches, grass and flowers on the stage. They stand, embracing Gerasim and Mumu. Part 1.
1. Music. Enters the dance of Scheherazade.
Scheherazade: Greetings, oh revered spectators! Today is our theater, all of us together with you will get into our new fairy tale in this beautiful palace, may the supreme life of its operation be extended! Yes, I see you are excellent viewers! This is good! And I am a wonderful storyteller! If it weren’t for me, the best storyteller, you wouldn’t be sitting in this hall today and you would never know the story about the little Baghdad princess and her fairy-tale dream ... Shhhh ... Let's not get ahead of ourselves ... (retreats)
Music. Palace of the Sultan. On stage, the Sultan and the Vizier are playing chess.
Sultan: So, my dear vizier, and part-time evil Maghreb sorcerer, how are things in the glorious city of Baghdad?
Vizier: Oh, the wisest of the wisest, oh, the moon-faced of the moon-faced ones, the light of my eyes ...
Sultan: In short!
Vizier: Oh, wise one! Light of my Eyes…
Sultan: Even shorter!
Vizier: My light! Everything is calm in Baghdad!
Sultan: Stop, what did you say? "My light"? Yeah… (pulls out a crossword puzzle) Yes. Six letter word. The author who wrote a fairy tale in which the phrase sounds: “My light, mirror, tell me ...” I wonder who it is?
Vizier: Forgive me for impudence, oh moon-faced...
Sultan: Enough! Is this a palace or a word club? Be short and to the point.
Vizier: I think this storyteller is our Scheherazade!
Sultan: Scheherazade? Let's see... (checks the letters in the crossword puzzle) No, it's too long.
Vizier: So let's make that one ... (shows) shorten it a little.
Sultan: Who will we shorten? (menacingly) Scheherazade? I will shorten you now! If we are her, then who else will tell me 354 tales? Are you?
Vizier: Oh, forgive me, magnanimous of the magnanimous. What kind of storyteller am I? I'm just an ordinary sorcerer. (sly smile)
Sultan: That's it, that the sorcerer! (looks around) And where, by the way, is Scheherazade? I think it's time for another story.
Music. Scheherazade enters, dancing.
Scheherazade: I am glad to see you, Lord of Baghdad, in good health and excellent spirits.
Sultan: Okay, let's not talk about spirits, don't remember by nightfall. Get on with the stories. Yes, and if possible, tell me something more interesting, otherwise I’m bored with something, probably magnetic storms ... (yawns)
Scheherazade: Well, great Sultan, today I will tell you a very unusual tale: Once upon a time there was a Sultan, wise and fair ...
Sultan: As wise and just as me? (revives)
Scheherazade: Yes, he was very similar to you, and he had a good Vizier, concurrently an evil Maghreb sorcerer...
Vizier: Wah, just like me! (suspends)
Scheherazade: And then one evening a commotion began in the Sultan's palace! (leaves)
Music. The Sultana enters the dance.
Sultana: Gasanchik, where are you always hanging around? Yeah, again, with your friend Vizier, are you “killing the goat”? Yes?
Sultan: Well, Squirrel, my jana, calm down. (feigning surprise and throwing up his hands) What kind of goat-muzzle? Are we having barbecue for lunch today?
Sultana: What does the barbecue have to do with it? (grumpily) Barbecue, by the way, is made from sheep.
Sultan: Wow wow wow! Why didn't I know?
Vizier: Excuse me, dear, but what actually happened? What have we done wrong to you?
Sultana: How is it - "what happened"? (steps on the Vizier with anger) My girl, our beautiful Budur, is depressed!
Sultan: (terribly) What? Depression - what is it?
Sultana: Not who, but what! Your "wise" Vizier, who is also an evil Maghreb sorcerer, recently brought her some new books, in which it was written about how children in New Year lead round dances around a discharged Christmas tree. (points to oriental style)
Sultan: Christmas trees, little things, what are you talking about, woman? Well, what about depression?
Sultana: And besides….
Budur enters (squeals): Mom, dad, I warn you all for the last time ...
Sultan: Hello, daughter, hello, beauty. Excuse me for asking, but tell me, what is the last time you warn us about?
Budur: What is it about? I want to be not only the most beautiful, but also the smartest! (stomping foot)
Sultan: Wai-wai-wai ... So many tears because of such a trifle. Vizier, announce throughout Baghdad that our daughter, Princess Budur, is not only the most beautiful daughter in our shakhstvo, but also the smartest!
Budur: Dad, it doesn't happen! (squeals) You can't give orders to the mind!
Sultan: Hey! The little one is still teaching her father, also to me - “it happens - it doesn’t happen”! I've appointed our Vizier the smartest, after me, of course. And no one argues with this.
Budur: Oh-oh-oh! (stomps feet and screams)
Sultana: What happened, daughter?
Budur: My depression is starting again! Oh-yo-yo-yo!
Sultan: Hey vizier! Come on, explain to me what she will do when she has this depression completely?
Vizier: And what is there to explain, everything is clear here anyway. As soon as this depression begins in her, she will start pressing everyone!
Sultan: Stop! No depression-repression! Only this was not enough for me! Tell me, daughter, what you need, I will do everything. Just let's do without these presses.
Budur: I want a Christmas tree! New Year's! (stomps feet and screams)
Sultana: I don’t understand ... My beloved daughter, why do you need a Christmas tree? Are you missing dates and bananas?
Budur: I am not a Papuan under bananas to celebrate the New Year. I read one book, so it clearly says that the New Year's round dance is led around a decorated Christmas tree.
Sultana: Yes. So you read about the Christmas tree in a book. And I took the book from the Vizier. (jumps up to the Vizier) Great, Vizier, all this mess is brewed because of you. You and her to disentangle!
Sultan: Therefore. Listen, Vizierka, my decree. Before sunset, you must deliver to our palace Christmas tree! If you do not deliver it, I will deeply regret to cut off your head. Excuse me, of course, you yourself understand, I can’t do it any other way. I'm still a tyrant, a despot, and it's like him ...
Vizier: A tyrant!
Sultan: I'll show you - tyrant! Do what you want, but by the evening the tree should be in the palace!
Vizier: Well, if I deliver it, what will I get as a reward for this?
Sultana: Oh, what a mercantile Vizier you are. Well, you will receive gratitude from us in a personal matter and a letter of "Vizier of the Year" Satisfied?
Vizier: No.
Sultan: Okay, if you bring a Christmas tree, then I will give you half the kingdom, an extraordinary vacation and the hand of my daughter!
Sultana: Oh-oh-oh! The monster that thought!
Sultan: Hey, what are you doing?
Sultana: Oh, good people! Just look at this monster! He wants to chop off his own daughter’s hand and asks, “What are we doing?”
Sultan: Shut up! No one is going to cut off the hand of the princess!
Budur: Yeah, my mother and I are not deaf. You yourself, papa, just said that you would give my hand to that nasty Vizierka. (squeals and cries)
Sultan: To give a hand means to marry you, and not to chop off your hand. It's clear?
Sultana: I see, but to be honest, the option is also not the best. (squints)
Sultan: Put aside disputes and talk! The Vizier will not get the Christmas tree - then we will not only cut off his hand - we will cut off his head. And he will get it, so in time our daughter will leave him without a head! And now everyone, except Vizierka, has lunch!
2. Music: the theme of the sorcerer. The Vizier sits on the stage, covered with a black veil. Candles and smoke.
Scheherazade: The Sultan and his whole family went to a modest Sultan's dinner, and the Vizier, who, as you all already understood, is also an evil Maghreb sorcerer, retired to his room and proceeded to a session of black and all sorts of magic .... (leaves, taking off the Vizier's veil. The Vizier is sitting at a low table on which books lie.)
Vizier: Well, first, let's look at the textbook on black magic. (opens book) Aha! What do we have? "Magic problem book" - will not work. (takes another book) But this one will do - "Magic Reshebnik". (into the hall) Magic has become such a complex science that one cannot do without a “resolver”. Alyabim! Malyabim! Salabim! Here is the devil! You can break your tongue!
Secretary enters: (speaking on mobile) I'm on a call. Please fix - the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultan's palace, the apartment of the Vizier, concurrently an evil Maghreb sorcerer. (removes mobile phone. Stops in front of the Vizier) Called?
Vizier (taken aback): Whom?
Secretary: Shaitan, I ask, did you call?
Vizier (shakes his head negatively, then nods): And who are you - a shaitan?
Secretary (losing patience): Listen, citizen Vizier, don't ask stupid questions. You, sorcerers, are hundreds, and the devil is one! He can’t fly to every call himself. So he organized a private shaitan-enterprise with limited liability.
Vizier: How is that?
Secretary: And so - we are not responsible for your stupid desires.
Vizier: I don't have a stupid wish.
Secretary: We don't care. Let's start. Do you have a TIN?
Vizier: Huh? (shakes head) What?
Secretary (ironic): I see. Is there a characteristic from the work signed by the Sultan?
Vizier: Listen, dear, I need a Christmas tree, not a characteristic.
Secretary: We cannot allocate a Christmas tree for you, all the Christmas trees were sent to Santa Clauses in Russia.
Vizier: What should I do? Poor Maghreb sorcerer? (smiling humbly)
Secretary: We can tell you where to find Aladdin's magic lamp. With its help, you can get a Christmas tree.
Vizier: Where can I find this Aladdin's lamp?
Secretary: Of course, in Aladdin's attic. (takes out a folder) So, sign here and here. All the best, shaitan-service is always at your service! (leaves)
Vizier: Wow!!! (admiringly) Emancipation, you know...
3. Music. On stage, Aladdin dreams.
Aladdin: If only you could see the look Princess Budur gave me when she went out onto the balcony to greet her subjects. And it's okay that there were twenty thousand of us under the balcony, I'm sure, - she looked at me ... (knock on the door) Who is there?
The Vizier enters: It's me, the wise Vizier of our Sultan (aside), and part-time an evil Maghreb sorcerer ...
Aladdin: Very nice! (aside) Although, to be honest, I don’t see anything pleasant when an evil Maghreb sorcerer comes into the house. (To the vizier) Well, what do you need in the modest dwelling of Aladdin ibn Hasan?
Vizier (cunningly): Yes, you see, I was passing by, I see: your light is on. Give, I think, I'll go to the light ...
Aladdin: Don't be dark, me too - the night moth flew into the light. Say what you need, I found someone to fool. Where is it seen that the Viziers, and part-time evil Maghreb sorcerers, just came to visit?
Vizier: Well, okay. (winks slyly) You know, Aladdin, it's nice to deal with a business man. You see, I need one old lamp. That night I was sitting, drinking coffee, uh, uh, and at the same time I called the spirits, and they told me that only you, Aladdin, son of Hassan, can get this lamp.
Aladdin: And why only me?
Vizier: Yes, everything is very simple, this lamp is in your attic, and the key to the attic is in your pocket. It's clear?
Aladdin: Okay. I mean you old lamp and what are you to me?
Vizier: And I… give you a whole cap of diamonds! I think it's a good suggestion? Fits?
Aladdin: Doesn't fit. (terribly) Come on, you know what, dear Vizier and part-time evil Maghreb sorcerer, get out of here before I call my mother!
Vizier (horrified): No need for Mother!!!
Aladdin: Look, the businessman turned up!
Vizier: What are you? (retreats)
Aladdin: Nothing, get out of here.
Vizier: Well, good! You calm down, Aladdin, and I'll come to you tomorrow! (sweetly) Can I bring you a cup of coffee? To think better ... Well, well .... I'm leaving (leaving)
Aladdin: (pulls out a lamp) Here it is, the lamp. Curious, what's in it? A lamp is like a lamp. What is it inside? (takes out a note) Oh, a note! (reads) "If you rub the lamp well, a miracle will happen." You can also rub it (rubbing) Strange, nothing happens. I thought some kind of genie would appear or a fairy.
Music. Gina appears, dancing.
Gina: You surprise me, Aladdin, you seem to be an adult, but you believe in fairy tales.
Aladdin: It says right there: "If you rub it, a miracle will happen!"
Gina: It's just that this lamp hasn't been cleaned for so many years that it will be a miracle if it is finally cleaned ...
Aladdin: Okay. By the way, who are you?
Gina: I am Genie, or rather Gina, as it is written in a fairy tale, a servant of the lamp. Aladdin, sorry for the indiscreet question: why didn't you give the old lamp to the sorcerer? After all, he offered you a fortune for it.
Aladdin: Although I am a poor man, I am not a fool! I also know a thing or two about business. If the sorcerer wants to buy an old lamp, then it is magical and costs much more than he offers.
Gina: Well done! You will not be denied ingenuity. And what are you going to do next?
Aladdin: First of all, you need to find out why the sorcerer needs this lamp?
Gina: It's not difficult at all. He hoped with the help of a lamp, or rather, with my help, to get a Christmas tree for Princess Budur! And for the Christmas tree, the Sultan promised to marry the princess and half the kingdom in addition.
Aladdin: Listen, Gina, I don’t need these half of my kingdom for nothing, but here’s the princess ... Be a friend, help me get a Christmas tree, and I won’t remain in debt.
Gina: I tried to explain to you that genies are not omnipotent. The only way I can help you is to send you to a distant northern country... Maybe there you will find a Christmas tree for your princess.
Aladdin: To Norway?
Gina: Yes, I see you are educated beyond your years! (winks)
Aladdin: Oh!
Gina: So, we need to go to Russia. It's there! (points backstage)
Aladdin: Let's not delay. I beg! (leave)
Music. The Vizier and the robbers Ali and Babai run in.
Vizier: Did you hear everything?
Baba: Everything!
Ali: That's it, sir!
Vizier: Then listen to the task! You must follow Aladdin and this one, like her - Gina, and when he gets the tree, steal it. It's clear?
Ali: Okay! And who to kidnap? Jean?
Vizier: Oh, stupid! Don't kidnap Gina, but the Christmas tree! It is now clear?
Baba: Clear. (leave)
4. Music. There are trees, birches, grass and flowers on the stage. They stand, embracing Gerasim and Mumu.

And in the East, every animal is a symbol. And each of them has its own motto. You have to guess which one is which. All are given 5 minutes. For example, the motto of a parrot is "repetition is the mother of learning." (Patterns with the names of animals are distributed.)

And now we would like to see 4 girls and 4 young people on stage.
New Year is a special holiday. Why? Yes, because! On this day, a fairy tale walks across our planet in the most legitimate way. Especially in the mysterious land of the East!
The Sultan had 4 beautiful daughters. And so, one fine day, 4 suitors wooed them. But the father loved his daughters so much that he considered these young people unworthy. And then he decided to test them. And the old and wise Sultan set them such a condition: which couple proves their ingenuity and love, that will seal their bonds by marriage on the Great New Year holiday!
According to our Eastern traditions, in order to seduce a man or a girl, one must be distinguished not only by beauty, but also by intelligence. Now we invite our young people to compose a poem praising your girl, with the proposed rhymes:
East is a flower
Snow is a person
Love is a carrot
Honey is ice.
According to legend, any Oriental woman should be able to dance. Therefore, you girls must show your best.
In addition, Eastern men must be excellent sculptors of their love. In the East, a girl is given in marriage, and she does not know who will become her husband. Therefore, we blindfold the girls, and young people must “sculpt” figures out of them. Whoever has the most harmonious figure wins. And you, the audience, must remember, and then evaluate their creations.
In the East, wives love and honor their husbands very much. Now the girls should take turns complimenting their Oriental men. On whom the chain stops, that girl is considered the winner.
Even on such a holiday as the New Year, there is always room for love and love always wins.
- So, we, the pearls of the East, according to Eastern wisdom, wish you all health in the coming year, because this is the highest value, peace, because this is happiness ...
- ... And most importantly, great love !!!
A prize is awarded for each competition, a prerequisite is the presence of oriental sweets, incense sticks, hookah - at the request of the guests. And also all guests must be in oriental costumes!
Happy New Year!!!
