Jay-Z to produce Broadway musical
|
November 17, 2009
New York - It's official: After weeks of speculation, Jay-Z and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have joined the producing team of the Broadway musical Fela!
Jay-Z told The Associated Press last month that he might be getting involved in the show, an Afrobeat musical about the life of the late Nigerian musical legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Now producers say he and the Smiths are in, though there's no word on how much of a financial investment the three have made in the show.
Fela! is now in previews at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre and opens next Monday. It's directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones. - Sapa-AP
