Regarding Fela on Broadway: The Eugene Oneil is a small theater-you can sit in the last row in balcony and have a great view. I have been seated there a couple of times over the years. I thought the show was good, 3 of 4 stars if you will. It is a musical, not a play. There is no linear story line and it is centered on a monolouge. If one is not familiar with Fela or Nigeria before the show, it may be useful to do some prior reading. I don't know how to best phrase this, but the show doesn't tell his story, rather, it creates the feeling of his enviornment. Have a great time. [Edited 5/30/10 8:29am]

I believe I've seen a play at that theatre before and yes, the seats are very close together. You could sit in the 10th row and still have a great view. I'm hoping to go on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.

Sorry for the delay .. but here is the download of my Fela Kuti radio tribute. While you're at it, check out our other Midnight Soulstice shows ...
