Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical Reviews

Sunny Pearce from London, England

INCREDIBLE!

We watched the 7pm show on 6.3.2022. absolutely brilliant show, very interesting story alot of which I wasn't aware of. Every single performer was amazing but for us Rita Marley made the show, honestly no words for her...her voice is out of this world!! Really felt the emotions and locked in with each character throughout the whole show. Would highly recommend to anyone. Lovely theatre & staff. Great to stand up and dance as other shows we have attended recently have very tight rules and restrictions still which slightly dampened our experiences.

JUST BRILLIANT

Loved, loved, loved it. If you like Marley you’ll love the show. Singing was great and political focus was both historical and current. Would recommend to take teenagers not sure about younger children. Went to the Ivy beforehand for a treat but felt like they really rushed us and for the money was not worth it. Would defiantly recommend it if looking for a show in London.

AMAZING

My husband and I were blown away by this production. It had us laughing and crying. The cast are all amazing, especially Bob and Rita. I need to see it again and again.

Fantastic from beginning to end. I grew up listening to Bob Marley loving his music. Wonderful night, fantastic singing and acting. I recommend to everyone, you won't be disappointed.

VERY VERY GOOD.

Overall the show is great. As a jukebox journey the the life of the legendary Bob Marley- it’s enthralling. The musical arrangements to now familiar world-renowned songs were refreshing at took nothing away from the originals which remained well-honoured. If there are shortcomings there to be found in the choreography and characterisation. The movement of some of the cast seemed unnatural and not at one with the spirit of the music or its makers. This was only occasionally jarring, sparingly ridiculous. Rita Marley (played excellently) stole the show and would seem in keeping with more contemporary view of Bob Marley’s personal legacy that her own musicality recognised and dignity portrayed so sympathetically. Apart from the trauma of being sent away to live with older relatives at a tender age and then again during his cancer diagnosis we see his trauma but not who he is. As the show wore and his locks grew longer his reputation professional grew but his persona and anything interesting about him withered. I’m being being picky. It is MUST SEE show for any Bob Marley admirer! 4/5

WE GOT UP AND STOOD UP ...

The life story of an international icon from very humble beginnings ... great music of course, and even better acting ... I thought I was watching Bob back in the 70's and Rita's voice was a dream. We went on one of the first nights and the sound could have been better, especially when Bob speaks, but sure they will fix that soon. Overall a very powerful and enjoyable show ... well done to all the production team and cast :)
