Queen Moremi the Musical Reloaded
QUEEN MOREMI – THE MUSICAL RELOADED is a musical stage play that lauds a Yoruba Land Heroine “Moremi Ajasoro” who made a priceless sacrifice for the Ancestral home of the Yoruba land; Ile-Ife. Moremi Ajasoro, born to a powerful hunter in Lukugba Ile-Ife was a queen who offered herself to be captured by the Ugbo tribe who were always raiding Ile-Ife. Confident of her wit and beauty, she made a supreme sacrifice of offering herself to be captured by the raiders, after which their King married her, paving way for her to secure intelligence related to the enemies’ battle strategy which was eventually used by the people of Ile-Ife to liberate themselves from the raiders. It is a theatrical visualization and musical orchestration delivered on stage celebrating the legacy of the Yoruba Land heroine. Having held successfully twice in Lagos starring notable Nigerian actors like Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Bimbo Manuel, Tosin Akinyemi, Deyemi Okanlawon, Lala Akindoju, Femi Branch, Kehinde Bankole and a host of others, the reloaded edition displays the richness of culture and excellent musical orchestration complemented with acting in a more soothing and sophisticated way and directed by Joshua Alabi.
