Get Up Stand Up: The Bob Marley Musical - A Powerful and Moving Tribute to a Legend
A joyous tribute to the reggae icon that will have you singing and dancing along, fueled by the infectious energy of the talented performers
Get Up Stand Up: The Bob Marley Musical is a must-see performance for any fan of the iconic reggae artist. The London cast delivers an outstanding production, filled with energy, emotion, and top-notch acting performances. I must say Cleopatra Rey who plays Rita Marley has a powerful voice that sent goosebumps through the entire room.
The story of Bob Marley's life is told through a series of musical numbers, each one more powerful than the last. From his humble beginnings in rural Jamaica to his rise to international fame, the musical covers all of the major milestones in Marley's career. The ensemble cast is equally impressive and the lead performance is truly remarkable. Each actor brings their own unique talent to the stage, making for a truly dynamic and engaging experience.
As someone with a Jamaican background, I had my reservations about the accents as I know how hard the accent is to imitate, but they were perfectly executed. The performance feels like a Bob Marley concert, and by the end, everyone was up on their feet dancing and singing along – a rare occurrence in London theaters. The theater was alive with the sound of Marley's music and the infectious energy of the performers.
If you have the chance, be sure to grab a ticket to see Get Up Stand Up: The Bob Marley Musical before it ends on 8/1/23.

The talent on display is truly exceptional and the production as a whole is a testament to the enduring power of Bob Marley's music. Do not miss out on this opportunity to experience the life and music of a true icon.
