FELA! a musical based on the life of the Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti, opened on Broadway November 23, 2009, at the Eugene O'Neill Theater.
The show, which was staged Off Broadway last year, was directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones.

Featuring many of Fela Kuti's most captivating songs and Bill T. Jones's visionary staging, FELA! is the most original new musical on Broadway.
