My eyes being blinded by the sun. It is too bright. From where is this heat coming? The weatherman said it was going to be 80 degrees. Why does it feel like 100. It’s not the humidity. I can’t see the stage that well. Im sitting down to watch a festival. All for what? To watch a Thanksgiving concert of Korean singers. Was it worth waiting there since 6:30 in the morning until 4:00 p.m.? At first I thought I had made a big mistake. When it was 4:00, I knew it was not a waste of my time. This concert was so fun. I was able to see my favorite group from Korea. Of course they were girls, and extremely pretty=). About 15 songs were being performed. I got the worst tan ever, but if an opportunity like this were to come again, I am willing to do this again. Waiting for something you like, it’s definitely worth it. Maybe next year, I will recommend this concert to all of my friends.

The cast of Fela! did an amazing job knocking down the fourth wall. Sahr Ngaujah did a great job in his portrayal of Fela Kuti and made the audience feel as if they were in “The Shrine.” The music and the dancers provided chronologically accurate representation of his life. The music is mostly composed of Afrobeat, which Fela Kuti created, by adding elements of jazz and funk to traditional Yoruba. The smooth transition from lively, dynamic scene to serious scene also facilitated the illustration of Fela’s life. This smaller off Broadway musical production offers intimacy and personalize feelings. The best part of it is the interactive part in which audiences learn how to dance- known as a pelvic thrust. Even though the scale is not as big as Broadway musicals, Fela! proves that great musicals do not need enormous stage and props to shine.
