	“100% AUTHENTIC. ITS AMAZING! THERE IS NO OPTION. I EXPECT DEATH TO BE THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU DID NOT SEE FELA!” -- QUESTLOVE OF THE ROOTS
Everyone who's seen FELA! on Broadway says the same thing: "It's more than a musical." And then they go see it again. Presented by Jay Z and Will & Jada Pinkett Smith, FELA! is the true story of the man who combined Jazz, Rock, and Funk and created Afrobeat music. The band is live. And loud. And the dancers will have you on your feet clapping, hollering, and pumping your fists. If you see a group of people dancing in the street near the theater district, you can bet they probably just saw FELA!


	Enter the extravagant, decadent, rebellious world of a legendary musician. A provocative hybrid of dance and Broadway musical, FELA! features the Afrobeat music of Fela Anikulapo–Kuti, a book by Jim Lewis and the direction and choreography of Tony® Award winner Bill T. Jones. His Passion Ignited a Generation. His Music Fueled a Revolution. His Legacy Inspires the World. FELA! uses stirring Afrobeat music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), to tell the story of Kuti’s controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician. Featuring many of Fela Kuti’s most captivating songs and Bill T. Jones’s visionary staging, FELA! is the most original new musical on Broadway. Come for the music. Come for the dancing. Come awaken your soul.
