CLINT DYER could just about contain his excitement at the announcement that finally, the dates for Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical have been revealed to the public.

It is Time. For. Bob. I am honoured and blessed to be taking on this role. Nothing feels more right, more hopeful than to be stepping into his shoes

Arinzé Kene

Lively up yourself and celebrate the story of Jamaica’s global superstar, as the electrifying new production bursts into life from June, 2021, at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue.

From the hills of rural Jamaica, armed only with his overwhelming talent and righteous beliefs, Bob Marley applied himself with resolute determination to achieve international acclaim for his prophetic musical message – a gospel of love and unity.

With unlimited access to Marley’s platinum-selling catalogue of music, the multi award-winning team of Lee Hall, Clint Dyer and Arinzé Kene (playing Bob Marley) capture the rebellious spirit and story of this universal icon. 

A euphoric company of performers fuse with the finest reggae musicians to bring this triumphant tale of passion, political unrest and progress from Trenchtown to the West End.

Lose yourself to the rhythm of ‘Exodus’, ‘No Woman No Cry’, ‘Waiting in Vain’, ‘Three Little Birds’, ‘I Shot the Sheriff’, ‘Could You Be Loved’, ‘Redemption Song’ and many more.

Cedella Marley said: “Our father’s music has for so long been an inspiration to so many people.

“We are proud that audiences will be able to sit in his company for a little while and, we hope, feel better about themselves, and the world.

“The wonderful team bringing this story to the stage will create a special evening in honour of our father.”

Clint Dyer, Director,  said: “At long last! We have been waiting too long for this moment. It is a dream come true to be part of this project and I cannot wait to get into the rehearsal room to start work with Arinzé and the whole team to bring Bob’s music and story to life.

“What better way to soothe our souls after this troublesome year than with the music and spirit of one of the world’s great prophets.”

Arinzé Kene said: “It is Time. For. Bob. I am honoured and blessed to be taking on this role. Nothing feels more right, more hopeful than to be stepping into his shoes.

“I plan to immerse myself in his healing vibes and I hope very much we will be able to do justice to the great man.”
