Fela! Cast Party Hits The Shrine

Moshpix: Chicago theatre buffs are going crazy for "Fela!," a dance, musical and theatre production currently on stage at the Oriental Theatre. Fans of the play, which tells the life of the legendary Nigerian musician and civil rights champion, packed into The Shrine nightclub for an official cast party. Global grooves took over the South Loop club, with performances by Chicago Afrobeat Project, Afrocentric DJs and a live painter, with cast members even getting up to perform alongside on stage. The Chicago run has been extended to April 15th.
