Co-produced with Round House TheatreRound House Theatre and Olney Theatre Center combine forces for an epic co-production of the award-winning musical Fela!, the first professional production anywhere in the world since its national tour more than ten years ago. Its 1978, and we meet musician, activist, and global superstar Fela Anikulapo Kuti at his farewell show at the Afrika Shrine nightclub in Lagos, Nigeria. After losing his own mother in a dictators violent attack, Felas final act in Nigeria is to use his iconic musica spirited blend of traditional African drumming, jazz, and funkto tell his story of survival and global revolution through Afrobeat and floor-shaking dance. The Tony Award-winning and Grammy-nominated musical captures the spirit of rebellionthat dwells within all of us (The New York Times) in the inspiring true story of one mans fight against corruption and oppression.
