A provocative hybrid of dance and Broadway musical, FELA! features the Afrobeat music of Fela Anikulapo–Kuti, a book by Jim Lewis and the direction and choreography of Tony® Award winner Bill T. Jones.
FELA! uses stirring Afrobeat music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), to tell the story of Kuti’s controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician. Featuring many of Fela Kuti’s most captivating songs and Bill T. Jones’s visionary staging, FELA! is the most original new musical on Broadway.

Great show! I really
Great show! I really enjoyed myself when I went. The voices and talent of everyone involved were moving and perfectly pitched. I am glad I spent the money to go. I also am glad I did some research and found their myspace profile -- it's pretty cool you should check it out!
