Fela grabs three awards
The hit Broadway musical FELA! which
bagged 11 Tony awards
nomination few weeks ago, received three
Tony plagues for the Best Choreography,
Best Costume Design of a Musical and Best
Sound Design of a Musical category at the
award proper held yesterday (Sunday, June
13 2010) at Radio City Music Hall in New York
City.
La Cage aux Folles’ which also got 11 nods on
this year’s Tony awards nomination list,
putting it in a tie with the Bill T. Jones
directed FELA! , as well as ’Fences’ also
grabbed three Tony awards each.
The musical show, FELA! Chronicles the true
life story of Nigerian Afro beat maestro, Fela
Anikulapo_Kuti. His music, activism and
rascality were recapped in the play which
became the toast of New Yorkers and
Americans at large as the Eugene ‘O Neill
theatre turned a besieged ground since the
show premiered there.
