Here’s What No Review Will Tell You About Legends the Musical

Legends, Kings and Kingdoms: the Musical is winning converts at lightning speed.

 

Two months after a stunning October debut, the show returned bigger, louder and better in time for the festive season. A three-day show expanded to five days to accommodate the expected increase in theatregoers during the festive season. In addition to the expanded cast, more scenes and dance routines were added; with topnotch lighting and music that dazzled the audience endlessly.

 

The MTN Foundation backed the second run of the show, like the first, as part of its Arts and Culture slate of shows. Legends was co-directed by Gbenga Yusuf, while the eclectic music was arranged and directed by Ayo Ajayi, who is an alumnus of the MTNF MUSON programme for creative professionals. Leading the amazing line up of cast were veteran talents, Yinka Davies and Segun Adefila.
