Following the success of the ever green Saro the Musical, Wakaa the Musical and Fela and the Kalakuta Queens, Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions, Rejuvenee and House of Oduduwa is set to premier another riveting stage play titled “QUEEN MOREMI THE MUSICAL”.

This December, BAP Productions and House of Oduduwa will premiere “QUEEN MOREMI THE MUSICAL”. An authentic African super hero story, that brings to life the rich and colorful ancestral Yoruba heritage through the deeds of the Amazon, Queen Moremi -using music, dance and costumes.

Daughter to one of Ife’s bravest hunter-warriors, Lukugba, and Princess Olunbe of Offa; Moremi was raised to question injustice and stand up for the oppressed no matter who they were or where they came from. When Love came calling, she answered but there is always a price to pay. The story of Queen Moremi, the courageous woman is pivotal to the history and liberation of the entire Yoruba race.

It is essential for us to know our roots; and celebrate our history and heritage. It is therefore our desire to develop the Queen Moremi legacy into a musical drama that will preserve and promote history in the face of modernity.

The purpose and aim of this project is to keep our identity, values, history and culture alive especially amongst the youths, our upcoming next generation, starting from within Nigeria and progressing on to those in the Diaspora,
