Fela!

Got to see "Fela!" last night...an anniversary gift compliments of our extended family!   Up until last night...I thought it was just the name given to a Broadway musical.   I had no idea that what I was about to witness was a musical biography of a real person named Fela Kuti from Lagos!



Wait a minute!   It was so much more than a musical biography!   It was amazing!   It was an event...unlike anything I've ever seen before on Broadway.
Ya Ya!

As the New York Post put it back in November!
"There's enough energy in the first act of "Fela!" to short-circuit Con Ed.   It spills over from the stage and into the orchestra seats, boundless and joyous.   This is as close as Broadway gets to fully immersive theater."
Ya! Ya!
