Jay Z And Will Smith Hit Broadway

Jay Z and Will Smith are the producers! The powerhouse pair are backing the Broadway show Fela. Although how much moola Will, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and Jay Z are investing in the production is undisclosed, just having these three big names attached will bring in loads of interest! Fela is a musical based around Afrobeat icon and political activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti.   “There’s going to be an enormous incentive for people to investigate Fela when they know that Jay-Z and Will Smith are all rabid fans,” Rikki Stein, Kuti’s former co-manager and executor of his estate, recently said. “It’s a sign that the underground is moving overground.” [Photo: Getty Images]
