Goldstar – Tony winner FELA! at Arie Crown

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.
