Fela! eventually opened on Broadway in November (09), with the trio sha ring producing credits.
Now the show is set to transfer to the British capital's coveted Nation al Theatre venue in November (10) for around 60 performances until Januar y 2011. It is then hoped the musical will move to the West End stage.
And Fela!'s lead producer, Stephen Hendel, is hoping the famous investo rs will turn up to the opening night.
He tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I can't imagine that they will not come to the first night in London. I can't imagine that Jay -Z , and probably Beyonce, too, and Will and Jada will not come... In the theatre world it 's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to have your production honoured on th e National Theatre stage."
