On
Friday February 5 at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre, Victoria Island,
Lagos, the audience was treated to an outstanding audiovisual stage
experience as Love Is…The Musical 3 took place in an amazing atmosphere
of colours, lights, music and dance.
The
musical proper was preceded by an intriguing art exhibition that
featured a live painting by show director Ice Nweke. Immediately after
the exhibition, the audience, which had in attendance, M.D Nigerian
Breweries Nicholaas Vervelde, Darey Art Alade, Deola Art Alade, Linda
Ejiofor, Denrele, Mo Cheddah and other notable personalities were warmed
up by Tomi Odunsi and Isaac Gerald who took the stage in quick
succession ahead of what would prove to be a night of fantastic
entertainment.
Telling
the story of three women who are in search of their answer to the
question “What is Love?” the stage play held the audience spellbound for
more than three hours as the talents of The Poet Donna, Efe Paul the
Poet and Yinka Davies came to the fore. The crowd also received a
special treat with cameos and performances by Gordons, Emma Oh Ma God,
Igos, Sound Sultan and signature “voice” Timi Dakolo.
The
musical reached its climax with a stunning performance by Timi Dakolo,
which showcased his full vocal range amidst a chorus of rhythmic lights,
blazing colour and irresistible sound.
Speaking afterward, producer Clementine Vervelde remarked,
“It
is a thing of immense pride and joy to see this idea brought to life on
the big stage and I am sure I speak on behalf of the entire cast and
crew when I say that this is one of our proudest ever moments. I am
particularly pleased that the audience had many people who were not used
to this type of storytelling and they were carried along. It shows that
that this type of stagecraft is taking off in Nigeria and I believe we
have also impacted positively on people present in terms of their
understanding of what Love is.”
A
production of Limitless Minds Africa in partnership with Ixtreme
Production, Love Is…The Musical 3 was brought to life by a 40-man cast
and crew.
