High Energy and historical
I saw the show in Houston opening night and was WOWED off of my feet. Excellent manner by which Fela's life was displayed and the singing and dancing was unbelievably outstandingly beautiful. It is obvious Beyonce studied the African dance which is why she dances so wonderfully. I recommend everyone to see. Most entertaining and enjoyable and a learning experience. ... Read more
