(November 17, 2009)
*It's now official. Producers of the upcoming Broadway musical "Fela!" have confirmed that rap mogul Jay-Z and Hollywood couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have joined the show's producing team.
Rumors about Jay-Z's backend participation had been circulating ever since he told the Associated Press last month that he might get involved in the musical, which celebrates the life of Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
There was no announcement regarding the amount of money the power trio have put into the show.
As previously reported, "Fela!" is directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones, and is currently in previews at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The show's official opening is next Monday.
