The North American premiere of Miriam Makeba: Mama Africa the Musical tells the story of activist and Grammy award-winning musician Miriam Makeba, outlining her role in bringing down apartheid, her varied musical career, betrayals, failed marriages, and death of her only daughter while in exile. Set in Africa, the USA, and Belgium, this musical is an inspirational and universal story that will appeal to multi-generational audiences worldwide.
This production is in collaboration with ZM Makeba Trust and its wholly owned exclusive licensee Siyandisa Music (PTY) Ltd, and between The University of Missouri, St. Louis (UMSL) and the University of the Western Cape. Niyi Coker, Distinguished Professor of Theater and Cinema Arts at UMSL, serves as both the production’s writer and director.
