Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti

FELA!, the award-winning new musical that The New York Times called "a show that melts walls" is coming to Broadway. Based on the life of groundbreaking African composer and performer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, FELA! uses Afrobeat music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies) to explore his controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician.

Brought to you by JAY-Z & Will Smith, directed and choreographed by Tony® Award winner Bill T. Jones, with a book by Jim Lewis & Bill T. Jones, FELA! is a provocative hybrid of concert, dance and musical theatre.
