FELA! The Musical Blows Away Toronto Audiences (& Small World has you covered with discounted tickets!!!)


 
The superlatives for FELA! just keep on coming. Not often I get to use sophisticated Broadway terminology like ‘BOFFO!’ but this is really something special. Fantastic staging, great performances and it pretty much goes without saying that a show about Mr. Kuti is going to have great music. I’m still buzzing from last night. Apparently they’re still offering discounted tickets, so I’d highly recommend taking advantage of it and spending an evening in ‘the Shrine’.
 
FELA! is the true story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose soulful Afrobeat rhythms ignited a generation. Inspired by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity. FELA! is a triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, featuring Fela Kuti’s captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of BILL T.JONES
