JAY-Z AND SMITH GIVE FELA KUTI MUSICAL A BOOST

JAY-Z and WILL SMITH are among the investors in a new musical about the life of revered African world music star FELA KUTI.

Jay-Z support Coldplay at the Lancashire County Cricket Club.
Manchester, England - 12.09.9

The stars have given Bill T. Jones' Broadway production Fela a huge boost, a month before it's scheduled to hit the stage.

The original version of the musical opened off-Broadway last year (08) and starred Sahr Ngaujah, who will reprise his critically acclaimed role as Kuti.

Production on the rehearsals were halted recently due to financial concerns.
