The AfroMusical. Oliva Tweest follows the ambitious dreams of London hustler and club-promoter Tobi, as he navigates comedic and sometimes explosive clashes with women, family tradition, and his reawakened conscience. Tobi, is a self-proclaimed gyalis (ladies' man) who wants more out of life. Driven by his need to succeed, he plans the ultimate show to attract his idol D'Banj, naming it after the musician's global hit Oliver Twist. Tobi hopes the concert will propel his career in the entertainment business, but when he finds out the new landlord of his concert venue, Pastor Bayodele, intends to convert the building into a church, Tobi is forced to disguise his true intentions.The AfroMusical - T218155857Featuring classic and original hit songs performed by live African band and refreshing high-energy choreography for a new era of musical entertainmentDirector Yinka Ayinde.
