Jay-Z on Broadway
(Wednesday November 18, 2009 11:04 AM)
Jay-Z is part of the production team putting together a Broadway musical about Fela Kuti, it has been revealed.
The rapper has been joined by Hollywood star Will Smith in helping out on the show, which opens in New York on Monday.
Fellow co-producer Jada Pinkett Smith will also be in attendance at the first night.
Afrobeat legend Kuti's former co-manager Rikki Stein says he is delighted to have their support on the project.
"There's going to be an enormous incentive for people to investigate Fela when they know that Jay-Z and Will Smith are all rabid fans", he explained.
"Fela" features music from the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and takes place at the city's Eugene O'Neill Theatre.
