The return to Idiroko…OLURONBI: THE MUSICAL IS BACK!
In response to the immense critical success of the September maiden shows, Nigeria’s first-ever indigenous Broadway-style musical returns to Lagos in December 2009 with new music, artistes, costumes and more spectacle. It’s your perfect start to the holiday season.
Headliners for the December shows include such luminaries from the worlds of music, theatre, and film as Yinka Davies and Iretiola Doyle —both of whom were well-received during the September performances.
