Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical description
Welcome to Get Up Stand Up, the Bob Marley Musical. It's the perfect subject for a superb stage musical, and the producers are delighted to present the dazzling world premiere of a fresh new musical revealing the astonishing story of the iconic reggae artist. It's opening at the refurbished Lyric theatre and previews in early 2021.
The Bob Marley Musical is brought to you by an Olivier award-winning team, namely the writer Lee Hall and the director Dominic Cooke. It stars the brilliant Arinzé Kene as Marley himself, and features 'unprecedented access' to the musician's back catalogue. You can expect to hear all the great Marley hits performed live by the cast, including the legendary No Woman No Cry, Exodus, 3 Little Birds, and Get Up Stand Up itself.
What's the plot?
Inspired by Bob Marley’s visionary lyrics and tunes, this show reveals the extraordinary personal life story behind the glittering star.
Who's in it?
Arinzé Kene plays Marley. He's a multi-talented writer and performer whose one man play, Misty, thrilled everyone so much at the Bush theatre then transferred to the West End. It got him a nomination for two Oliviers, one for Best Actor and the other for Best New Play. He also portrayed Sam Cooke in One Night in Miami at the Donmar Warehouse, as well as starring in the Old Vic production based on Bob Dylan's music, Girl from the North Country.
Lee Hall, the award-winning British playwright and screenwriter, penned the book and lyrics for Billy Elliot The Musical, which ran for more than ten years in theatreland. It won an Olivier for Best New Musical and 10 Tonys for the Broadway production. He was also involved in The Pitmen Painters, Cooking with Elvis and Shakespeare in Love in the West End, as well as 'Network' starring Bryan Cranston at the National Theatre over here and on Broadway.
Dominic Cooke is a highly experienced and respected theatre, film, and television director who was Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre from 2007 to 2013. He was nominated Best Director at the Evening Standard Awards and won 2018's Critic’s Circle Best Director Award for his National Theatre production of Follies starring Imelda Staunton, itself nominated for ten Oliviers and winning two.

The actor couldn’t have been any more like Bob Marley than he was. Superb acting and out of the world singing. I saw Phantom of the Opera in New York but Get Up Stand Up was on another level. Needs more publicity, as it was an ace of a production.

This show transported me to another world. I felt like I was watching Bob Marley himself in concert. It is uplifting emotional, colourful and combines all of Bob Marely’s greatest hits so beautiful with his life story. As for the singer that plays Rita Marley, her voice is Unbelievable she genuinely brought me to tears. This is a must see for everyone and the theme rings so through for all that’s going on in the world today. What a tribute to the one and only Bob Marley❤️

I never paid much attention to Bob Marley even though I grew up in Jamaica but it is incredible that 50 years later, his music is still relevant. My 15 year old son likes the music and we never get tired of listening to Tuff Gong radio every day on SiriusXM. We know all the words to the songs and it was nice to see his story told by his songs. The young lady that plays Rita Marley has an incredible voice!

Growing up listing to the songs of Bob Marley was amazing. Being able to relive his life and the fantastic music was not to be missed. The acting was captivating. The singing however, was the highlight for me. Being a West Indian man, the show reconnected me in more ways than one to, not just Caribbean way, but the musical contribution to the world. A must see. Bring your kids, show them what true art is. There are no dislikes.

Fabulous show, great story well acted, and singing was amazing, only criticism is that the lighting was very bright for us on the balcony at times, and not enough people working for theatre watching people taking photos through the show, we was asked to wear masks for Covid reasons and hardly anyone did which was disappointing I felt.
