Feeling Uneasy About Fela! And The M-Word (Minstrelsy)
Charles Isherwood: "As much as I enjoyed the show, directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones, it left me with lingering questions about the depiction of the African milieu it evoked. In short, the emphasis in Fela! on the spectacle of African culture tilted the show a little too closely toward minstrelsy. It evoked an unsettling feeling I can't say I ever had before at the theater." New York Times 01/31/10
