New in 2009 The new musical based on the life of African composer and activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti comes to Broadway....an Off-Broadway hit in 2008, the show is directed and choreographed by downtown legend Bill T. Jones.
Enter the extravagant, decadent, rebellious world of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo - Kuti. A provocative hybrid of concert, dance and musical theatre, "FELA!" features arrangements by Aaron Johnson and Antibalas with direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones.
Critics were largely enthusiastic about the Off-Broadway production. Bloomberg News called it "electric and eclectic, exotic and hypnotic, at once overpowering and empowering." And the New York Times, despite some qualms, called it "nigh impossible to resist"
Here's a promotional video, with interviews with the creative team and a good bit of footage from the Off-Broadway production:
