The ladies on ABC’s “The View” will have a double-dose of Broadway tomorrow morning. The cast of the Broadway musical Fela! and The Miracle Worker’s Abigail Breslin will both grace the presence of these chatty ladies.
Tune in to “The View” on ABC at 11 AM ET Thursday morning to catch this double treat, airing live!

Using his pioneering music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), the musical reveals Kuti’s controversial life as an artist and political activist.”
