The Black President Is Back on Broadway

Leave a comment

No, F.A.M.E NYC is not talking about Obama.  We mean the king of Afrobeat!  FELA! has returned to Broadway for a limited engagement at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, located on W. 45th Street, until August 4.  FELA!  is one of the most exciting musicals to hit the theatre community in ages. During its original run it won Tony Awards for Best Choreography, Best Costume Design for a Musical and Best Sound Design of a Musical.  Now back in NYC for a brief period during its world tour, it would be criminal for anyone to miss it again. FELA! delivers bolts of lightening to the audience, but you don’t have to believe me…take a look.

And while you’re at it…take a look at what F.A.M.E NYC had to say about this trailblazing musical,https://famenycmagazine.com/2009/12/30/the-black-president-comes-to-the-great-white-way-top-broadway-production-2009/.

Donna Vivino and Fate Fahrner perform at 106.7 Lite FM’s Broadway in Bryant Park

Yesterday’s show was hosted by Christine Nagy.  The always awe-inspiring performers of Cirque du Soleil’s Zarkana kicked-off the festivities with a synchronized flag and animated feature show.  Donna Vivino and Fate Fahrner gave a wickedly good rendition of “For Good”.  Cast members from MEMPHIS transported the audience back to the golden era of rock and roll with “Music of My Soul”.  The women of Sister Act were fierce as they sang “Fabulous Baby” and the “Unchained Melody” of the Righteous Brothers rounded out the show as Richard Fleeshman of Ghost had the audience participating in a sing-along.
