His story inspired a nation. His music inspires the world. FELA! tells the true story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose soulful Afrobeat rhythms ignited a generation.

Motivated by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity.

FELA! is a triumphant tale of courage, passion, and love, featuring Fela Kuti’s captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of Tony Award-winner Bill T. Jones.

"Coming out as a lesbian has been great practice for saying dangerous things," says comedy veteran Kate Clinton. Kate has worked through economic booms and busts, Disneyfication and Walmartization, gay movements and gay markets, lesbian chic and queer eyes, and 11 presidential inaugurals. "Get off your troubled assets," Kate urges. "It's time for some comic relief." Of her new Glee Party tour, Kate has this to say: "Join the Glee Party! Problems are solved in less than an hour. Break into flash mobs of song and dance for no apparent reason. Kate preaches way beyond the choir. She is the original Nostra Dame. Get some PTS— Post-Traumatic Stress Glee. If the whole world’s going down, we might as well be gleeful and gay." In the words of the New York Times: "Quick-witted, clear-spoken ... she has developed a bizarrely logical, seemingly free-associating style of delivery [and] had this critic in tears from laughing so hard."
