"In other words, if you’re looking for an orderly assemblage of the facts, this isn’t it. But 'Fela!' offers something that only the theater can provide—an immersion in Fela’s music, an encounter with his charismatically frenetic concert presence and a confrontation with his political style. The trade-off, trust me, is worth it. But be prepared to get out of your seat and shake your derriere. Passive spectatorship would be an insult."
Charles McNulty in the Los Angeles Times reviews Fela! at the Ahmanson Theatre.
