I applaude the effort but dont u honestly think it is too choreographed? Fela was all raw and spontaneous, mistakes and flaws MADe his shows... And what's with the rock and roll influences???? Why aren't/weren't there Nigerian dancers at all? At least Nigerians to offer advise? It's just too clean adn all energy... Fela was all about rebel - I guesss broadway has to stay broadway no matter what it depicts...?
@Betehadeso You've obviously never seen the show. I just went to the one with Kevin Mambo as the lead, Let me tell you, there were plenty of spontaneous moments where he had the whole crowd up and getting them to dance as well, and often talked to members of the audience. Unless you've actually seen it, instead of watching a poorly put together video about it, and experienced what a masterpiece this is, you just won't understand. Nothing like this has EVER been on broadway
@Gunbarrelguru you right, watched the London show and it was the most enjoyable show most in audience had been to all year. You have got to see it, to experience it and to love it. Fela is the best.
We in Nigeria are proud of Fela, but think the choreography is just not Fela.

@bemnaija it's a broadway show,it's supposed to be spectacular and appeal to everyone.it's suppose to capture the essence if not the accuracy.
