Fela! Musical Tickets

See the award-winning production brought to life with Fela! tickets. Fela! is a jukebox musical written in the early 2000s centered around the life and work of Nigerian singer Fela Kuti. Kuti rose to fame in the '60s and '70s as the progenitor of the now-popular Afrobeat genre that combines indigenous West African folk music with American funk and jazz. He also became a prominent political activist and outspoken critic of the military dictatorship in his native country.

Fela! focuses predominantly on Kuti's late career, when more than 1,000 government soldiers were sent to force the singer to stop performing and giving speeches in Lagos. The musical premiered off-Broadway in 2008 and was an immediate success. Within only a year, the production had moved to Broadway outright, where it earned eleven separate Tony Award nominations. In 2010, Fela! won the awards for Best Sound Design, Best Costume Design and Best Choreography. Three years later, the production was the subject of the Alex Gibney documentary Finding Fela.
