Jay-Z and Will Smith to pump millions into Broadway show
October 23, 2009
Jay-Z and Will Smith are set to pump a combined $3million into a musical about Nigerian musician and political activist, Fela Kuti.
The rapper and the Hollywood star believe the Broadway show - called Fela! - will be a smash hit.
The Bill T. Jones production proved popular and won critical acclaim when it appeared off-Broadway last year.
New York Post theatre critic Michael Riedel wrote: "An aggressive Fela! blitz featuring Smith and Jay-Z - with perhaps an assist from [wife] Beyoncé, who also adores the show - should give the box office a kick. The musical needs all the exposure Jay-Z and Will-S can generate."
Kuti died in 1997 at the age of 58.
Fela! opens on Broadway on November 23.
