One of a Kind Broadway - Gift to Producer - Fela Kuti - $20 - (Wilmington, DE)

Rare Item from the Broadway Production of FELA - Musical This is the New York Times review of the Broadway musical FELA!, which ran in 2009. It has been transferred onto a metal sheet and mounted to a wood plaque. Obviously this was made for the producers of the show. However, it was never hung. When I got it it was still in original bubble wrap. Excellent condition. Measures 12 x 18”. I obtained this at a charity event in New York City. Fela! is a musical with a book by Bill T. Jones and Jim Lewis, based on music and lyrics by the late Nigerian singer Fela Kuti, with additional music by Aaron Johnson and Jordan McLean and additional lyrics by Jim Lewis. It is based on events in the life of groundbreaking Nigerian composer and activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti. It portrays Kuti in the days when he was the target of 1,000 government soldiers assigned to end his public performances at the legendary Lagos nightclub The Shrine. The musical ran Off-Broadway for one month in 2008. It premiered on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on November 23, 2009, and ran until January 2011. The Off-Broadway production won the Lucille Lortel Awards for Best Musical, Outstanding Choreographer for Bill T. Jones, and Outstanding Costume Design for Marina Draghici. The Broadway production received eleven 2010 Tony Award nominations and won Best Choreography, Best Costume Design of a Musical, and Best Sound Design of a Musical.
