It had earlier premiered on Friday, December 21 at Terrakulture Arena and will runs till January 2, 2019. The musical, heavily supported by Rejuvenee and initiated by House of Oduduwa Foundation and produced by BAP, has used modernity to redefine historical tales. The mix of Nollywood icons and regular theatre actors, however, rekindles the new age understanding of the storyline coupled with the fusion of ancient and modern gadgets, as explored by BAP.
A lot of modern soul music and the traditional enchantments were skewed for modern appeal.
The stage drama has been described as one musical with a historical background ready to change the theatre narratives. Moremi became a heroine after outwitting the Ugbo king and leading Ife hunters to an epoch war that brought freedom to the cradle of the Yoruba.
Moremi sacrificed this victory with her only son.
The river goddess, played by Omotola Jalade in the drama, comes heavy with her promised demand after the war, and the pleas of Ife people cannot change her mind as she reminds Moremi that agreement is agreement.
Moremi eventually concedes to the request.
The House of Oduduwa Foundation and Rejuvenee, in collaboration with Bolanle Austen-Peters Production, produced the drama.
Meanwhile, since the premiere, Moremi the Musical, the conversation about drama in Lagos has been about the heroic queen warrior of all time.
Not only does the play offer the untold story of the queen warrior, it also puts a spotlight on Tosin Adeyemi, who plays the role Moremi.
