A brand new Bob Marley Musical

Olivier Award 2022 Winner For Best Original Score or Orchestration!

 With a book by Billy Elliot's Lee Hall and direction from Clint Dwyer, this brand new musical follows Marley's rise to superstardom and his cementation as one of the globe's most influential artists.

Not only does the production boast a stellar cast and creative team but it also features some of Marley's most iconic hits, including, "No Woman, No Cry", "Exodus", "3 Little Birds" and of course the titular "Get Up Stand Up"! 

Bob Marley

Beginning his music career in the early '60s Bob spent most of his early career writing, producing, and recording with fellow musicians Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer under the name "Bob Marley and the Wailers". Although the group split in 1974 Marley continued to produce music underneath the group's Wailers name. Releasing over 13 studio albums Marley enjoyed much success in Jamaica and globally, including in the US and the UK. Marley is widely heralded as the father of popular reggae with his popularity bringing further attention to conversations about Rastafarianism and cannabis use.
