Fela! Finishes Its Broadway Run

Fela!, the biographical musical about Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, plays its final performance at Broadway's Eugene O'Neill Theatre.

In Fela!, which features a book by Bill T. Jones and Jim Lewis, audiences are welcomed into the extravagant, decadent and rebellious world of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Using his pioneering music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), in a hybrid of concert, dance and musical theater, the show explores Kuti's controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician.
