Queens Theatre Presents: FELA! The Concert

For one-night only, Queens Theatre proudly presents FELA! The Concert, featuring members of the original Broadway cast from the highly acclaimed Tony Award-winning production. The performance radiates joy, leaving audiences on their feet wanting more. The electric sounds and powerful lyrics of Fela Kuti, the founding father of Afrobeat, are set against a soaring canvas of projected images, accompanied by a live Afrobeat band, and singers and dancers from the original Broadway cast bring Fela’s provocative spirit to life.
