Acclaimed musical, Kakadu, will return to the stage in Lagos on December 29 and 30.
Kakadu The Musical, described as an exciting and eclectic blend of music, drama and dance, is a tribute to the period and infinite possibilities of Nigeria in the sixties and early seventies.
According to Uche Nwokedi, writer and producer of the stage musical, Kakadu returns this time with a new cast and re-invigorated music. “The Kakadu storyline catches the watershed years in Nigeria’s history,” Nwokedi notes.
“It uses the famous Lagos nightclub of the sixties as a backdrop for an era, which gave birth to wonderful music and the distinctive social life that followed the birthing of a young nation. Kakadu is the journey of four friends through a time of infinite possibilities. It is a story of peace and war, of friendships and broken promises, and of innocence. It is a powerful plot and a captivating storyline that looks at the 1960s Lagos a nation celebrates the end of colonialism and the birth of a new nation. Lagos as a city was as colourful very and as hedonistic as any cosmopolitan city in the world,” the producers say.
