“THE HOT (AND SERIOUSLY COOL) ENERGY that comes from the musical gospel preached by the title character of FELA! Feels as if it could stretch easily to the borders of Manhattan and then across a river or two. There should be dancing in the streets!”

- Ben Brantley, the New York Times

“FELA! Is as rowdy as it is rousing. (It) is one of the most ORIGINAL and EXCITING shows to come around in a long while.”

- Joe Dziemianowiez, Daily News

“A great humane and transcendental fable come to life, with everything “fable” implies; MYTHIC, FABULOUS and a supreme lesson in living, here supplied magisterially by choreographer BILL T. JONES and his star, SAHR NGAUJAH.”

- John Simon, Bloomberg News

“FELA! RADIATES JOY.”

-Tom Geier, Entertainment Weekly

“FIVE STARS (out of five) FELA! Is more than a musical; it’s an ECSTATIC PHENOMENON.”

- Dave Cote, Time Out New York

“BILL T. JONES wildly loose-limbed journey into the throbbing heart of Afrobeat BREAKS BOLD NEW GROUND IN MUSICAL THEATRE.”

- David Rooney, Variety

“There’s enough energy in the first act of FELA! to short circuit Con Ed. It spills over from the stage and into the orchestra seats. BOUNDLESS AND JOYOUS: This is as close as Broadway gets to fully immersive theatre.”

- Elizabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
