Africa Umoja Tickets

I had a weekend in Toronto and saw this show. What a memorable adventure through South African musical journey - Not to be missed

Awesome show! V. talented cast. I will watch again

It was the most exhilarated performance I have seen in years. The costumes, video, and the overall performance was magnificient.

Dancing was incredible! Singing was phenominal! The show's content made me want to learn more about Africa and its musical heritage.

I loved loved loved this show. I recommend it to everyone.The dance, the music is unforgetable. The best show I have seen performed on the topic of Africa.

When I first reviewed it on the internet I knew I had to go and see this show. I was not disappointed. From the opening to the finale it kept you amazed with the energy the performers exerted while dancing and singing. You could not help from getting in the mood. It was also a learning experience of what they must have had to endure surviving in their country during hard times and how they used their music to help overcome the adversities. It was very moving. Should the group make another tour here again, I would without a doubt recommend my family and friends to make an effort to attend.

The cast was superb, easily transitioning between apartheid era and present day song and dance. The show length was just right giving tremendous value for money paid. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stories and history of South Africa told through a song and a dance.

It was a great show! It was energetic, inspiring, and sexy! I learned about South Africa's history, the struggle of black people for independence, and how they expressed themselves in song and dance. I learned about the evolution of South African music from the rural areas into the cities and the influence of American music on them. It was educational and entertaining.

This is a not to be missed. All performers were amazingly talented singers and dancers. Should have received much more publicity for the US tour!!!!

This play is a must see 3 or 4 times to appreciate the depth of the people and take in all the dynamics of the stage and talent.

Although a continent away the struggles, joy, pain and determination of a People demonstrated through song and dance is easly translated.

The performers and singing were wonderfully amazing! The story telling was a true learning experience. Definitely worth seeing!

This intriguing program beat through my senses from the opening to the ending, for the drums' rhythm awakened my senses to man's land of creation - Africa! The music traveled from past to present - what an entertaining education. I wish that I could afford to take all nine of my grands to the show. I hope that school children were able to attend and learn and enjoy! The segment surrounding Nelson Mandela bought tears to my eyes. I did not expect this period to be included, and yet, I should have known that the music of those times would be significant. Wonderful!!!

This show allowed me to reminisce my time in South Africa. Having traveled the country extensively, this brought back many memories of time spent in a kraal, Soweto, Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria, and Johannesburg. Would have loved to have heard the musical and dance distinctions among the Xosha, Zulu and other tribes in South Africa.

I have seen this show many times around the world and I love it. It is such an upbeat show that really highlights South African culture. I highly recommend!

The talent can't be matched. I saw Fela and enjoyed this even more.

My wife and I have been to several classic musicals. They're almost all sooooooo boring. We took a chance on Africa Umoja not knowing anything about it other than seeing two minutes of a trailer. Wow, holy crap, it was awesome. The singing is alluring, and the dancing....I felt as amazed as watching the unparalleled prowess of Olympic athletes. There wasn't a large audience when I attended--it was opening night--but the applause and cheering was still deafening. The content of Africa Umoja is very personal and touching. It spans the history of the country of South Africa: the untamed beats and styles of precolonial cultures, the mixing of European and South African flavors, the brief domination of strict gospel music (the only weak part of the show), and the reemergence of African musical identity. Particularly touching is the weaving into the show the fight against injustice, the fight to overcome Apartheid. The show uses displayed video at points, and the jarring contrast between live music and dancing and archival video of oppression and eventual independence makes the later musical portions all the more joyous.

If you have doubts about whether or not to go to this show...GO! i have to admit i was slightly skeptical about it before i had seen it and by the time we were 10 minutes I was absolutely HOOKED. It was powerful, humorous, and the cast drew you into their story with every facial expression, dance move, and drum beat! Go see this if you have the opportunity to see this show i highly recommend you see it and get me a ticket!

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the high-energy dancing throughout each chapter of this story about South Africa. It explored the miraculous unraveling of apartheid by following the thread of song. Highly recommended to all.
