Me either. although you cant deny its good entertainment, especially with a non naija date. After a bit it gets repetitive and the storyline flattens out. The average person would enjoy the show because compared to other broadway shows its vibrant, dynamic, and electrifying but if you are huge Fela fan u will most likely be let down. The writing is woeful and fails to capture Fela's genius.

The Fela musical on broadway was great, its a fresh new approach to Fela Story.

That said, they should have gotten a proper Yoruba person, to double as the singer while the MAIN character can do the non-singing part of the musical show.

There is even no Fela Big Konga drum,

They could get away with this in New York, they wont in UK as we have more Fela Fans.

Above all, I will say if you have loose $, it wont be bad to see it.
