The Fela! musical that Jay-Z, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are behind, was nominated for 11 Tony Awards, the most for 2010, and was able to win for Best Sound Design of a Musical, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Best Costume Design of a Musical and Best Choreography. Congrats! Nice to see a great African story being told.
Nigerians are calling for the musical, but it seems there is conflict with prior scheduled engagements. It deserves to be seen on African soil. I saw the Lion King in South Africa and it was one of the best theatre experiences of my life!
Here is a video of the lead actor, Sahr Ngaujah's journey to the Tony Awards.
