The show’s Producer and Director, Bolanle Austen Peter expressed her excitement “This is coming in response to growing interests in productions of African origin across the globe, and various calls for us to take this production to the international community,” she said. “There is a large Nigerian and Afro - Caribbean population in London, who are interested and yearning to see world class productions such from Nigeria.”
Wakaa The Musical has the potential to boost cultural diplomacy and promote our cultural heritage abroad.
A socio cultural and contemporary
entertainment production, Wakaa The Musical in London will celebrate the
diverse yet homogeneous people and culture of Nigeria, which has attracted the
endorsement and support of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, the
Nigerian Export Promotion Council, the National Pension Commission and the Bank
of Industry.
It will provide the highly
talented and creative youths involved in the production with opportunities to
experience the UK creative space and technology driving the UK creative
industry.
The venue for the play is at The
Shaw theatre, 100-110 Euston Road London’s West End. The cast members of the
production are Bimbo Manuel, Patrick Diabua, Nengi Adoki, Dolapo Oni, Ozzy Agu,
