Featuring R&B star Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child and produced by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, FELA! brings a high-energy mix of dance, theater and music to tell the true-life story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. With a score featuring Kuti’s pioneering Afrobeat music — a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies — FELA! powerfully explores Kuti’s controversial life as an innovative artist, civil-rights champion and revolutionary musician. This acclaimed show won three 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Choreography, and has toured throughout the United States and internationally.
Tickets for performances this week start at only $22.
