FELA! is a new broadway musical produced by a power-house trio:  Jay-Z and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.  This critically-acclaimed musical tells the true story of the life of Nigerian revolutionary and Afro-pop star Fela Anikulapo Kuti.  And this story is an inspiring one.  Drawing inspiration from his mother who was a civil rights champion, Fela defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity.  FELA! has been described as a triumphant tale of courage, passion and love.  This show features Fela Kuti’s captivating music and some of the most mind-blowing dancing on Broadway.
