It was officially announced (officially officially, that is) that Fela! will come to Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The unique, afrocentric musical will move there from off-Broadway's 37 Arts, where it closes October 5th.
The leading man, director and production team will remain in tact-it remains to be seen whether the rest of the cast will travel with the production.
The director/choreographer of Fela! was Bill T. Jones, who received the Tony for best choreography for Spring Awakening in 2007. The show received numerous awards in its off-Broadway run, including the Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical.
As long as the Broadway run is at least moderately successful, this means there will be a cast recording, which I look forward to hearing.
