Broadway's FELA! To Be Broadcast in Theaters
. All UK venues will debut this event on January 13, 2011 with varying dates occurring internationally (see www.ntlive.com for other international dates). NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE performances are filmed live in high definition and broadcast via satellite, live in Europe and some SahrUS cities, and time-delayed in countries further afield. The performances at the National are nominated in advance to allow cameras greater freedom in the auditorium. This is a great way to be a part of the show whose cast recording recently received a Grammy nomination for "Best Musical Show Album." The FELA! - Original Broadway Cast Recording documents the magic of the hit Broadway musical that Ben Brantley of the New York Times called "hot (and seriously cool)." He went on to say that "there has never been anything on Broadway like this production," and Elysa Gardner of USA Today called it "this decade's most exhilarating new Broadway musical." The FELA! - Original Broadway Cast Recording features the incomparable Sahr Ngaujah as Fela singing with members of the irrepressibly funky Antibalas. All 16 of the Fela compositions that are performed on stage each night, leaving sold-out audiences astonished and breathless at the end of every show, are on the record as are several songs performed by Funmalayo (Fela's mother) as played by the Tony-award winning Lilias White, and Sandra Izadore (Fela's American girlfriend) as played by Saycon Sengbloh. The record was produced by the Grammy-nominated Robert Sher. Click here to read today's full Day in Pop report |
