Highlife legend Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and veteran actor Fred Amugi headlined a stellar cast as the stage play I Told You So thrilled audiences in Kumasi.
The production, staged at the CCB Auditorium at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, drew large crowds over a two-day run, marking a vibrant return of the Ghanaian classic in its authentic style with live musical performances.
Blending theatre and live music, the play featured a collaboration with the Fiifi Coleman Band, creating an energetic atmosphere that kept patrons engaged throughout.
The fusion of drama and music elevated the storytelling while reinforcing the play’s central themes, leaving audiences both entertained and reflective.
The cast brought together a mix of veteran and contemporary performers, including Clemento Suarez, Clement Bonney, Ken Fiati, Wofa Kay, and Deaconess Abokomah.
The show attracted a diverse audience, including theatre lovers, students, and cultural enthusiasts, many of whom praised its relevance and delivery.
Speaking after the performance, playwright and director Fiifi Coleman expressed appreciation to patrons and urged them to spread the play’s message.
“With all due respect, we want you to go out there and keep spreading the message of ‘I Told You So’,” he said.
He also hinted at future productions, revealing plans to return to Kumasi with another play.
“Next time we’re coming here, we’re coming with ‘Sika Sumsum’ and when we come here again, we want you to receive us the same way you received us this time,” he added.
Following the successful Kumasi showing, the production will continue its nationwide tour, with the next stop scheduled for Accra on May 1. Subsequent performances are planned for Tarkwa, Sunyani, Koforidua, and Ho.
The Kumasi leg of I Told You So reaffirmed the city’s position as a key hub for the performing arts and set a strong tone for the rest of the tour.
