Description
CELEBRATE THE MUSIC
Enter the extravagant, decadent, rebellious world of a legendary musician - Fela Anikulapo–Kuti.
A provocative hybrid of dance and Broadway musical, FELA! uses Kuti's stirring Afrobeat music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), to tell the story of his controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician. Dubbed the best new musical of 2009, according to NY Times critic Ben Brantley, "There has never been anything like this on Broadway."
And begin your evening with dinner at a pop-music shrine. Vinyl, an Asian-flavored bistro that seems to be endlessly spinning, is filled with black banquettes, psychedelic mosaic tabletops, a ceramic Elvis bust and menus glued to album covers. The menu is packed with absolutely delicious, if eclectic, offerings and the spirits menu will make your mouth water.
This package also includes a backstage visit with a Cast OR Crew member of Fela!
