Dish-Houston

BY DISH CONTRIBUTOR SCOTT ARTHUR:

You have GOT to see FELA!                                  

There are only a few more days to experience emotion, courage, dance, politics and music all in one interactive, electrifying show.

FELA!  Is a hybrid musical that grabs your eyes and ears in the opening moments and soon touches your heart and soul as the story of the rebellious world and life of Afrobeat legend, Nigerian musician and Human Rights activist Fela Anikulapo-Kuti unfolds.

The audience is immediately part of the performance as we play the patrons of FELA’s popular night club called “Shrine.” We are asked (told) to sit, stand, repeat and   applaud – all of which we’d willingly do anyway as a reaction to this unique and compelling multi – media musical. The energy onstage is non-stop. You’ll leave the theater excited and inspired. Proudly produced by Houston’s Society for the Performing Arts, this show is a hit and not to be missed.
