More!! We Want More!!
Even though Fela! was somewhat hard to follow for me, this broadway was the best I had ever seen. It was exciting, interactive and very funny. It was everything great mixed into one giant performance. In the short time of the show, it was able to explain the life of Fela. What was most interesting to me was the music. The music was new and fresh. It was amazing how Fela influenced others threw the music he created. With the power of music, many began to follow Fela’s ideas and actions. Through all the laughs, singing and dancing, Fela was able to show us a deep meaning behind his actions. Trying to create his own country, free of the Nigerian government, Fela’s actions were brave and influential. With the support of his mother, Fela had been able to get through a lot, as there was a great significance in the picture of Funmilayo on the wall throughout the show. It was a great performance that taught me much about the life of Fela.
It was great simply because of how interactive it was. I don’t think I’ll ever witness a show that interactive…
I thought there would have been more responses like Harshita’s. This was probably one of the most fun artsy things I will ever go. I wish there were more plays like this.
I am in total agreement with the title. I did not want to leave the theatre at the end of the play. How i wished there was more. Unlike the other shows we went to at night where I was always keen to reach home as it was so late at night. In fela I could have stayed there (gladly) for more. It was the energy that seemed to be coming of the stage that was so addictive. The best broadway show I have ever seen
