Get up, stand up and get ready for reggae as a new musical telling the extraordinary story of Bob Marley has its world premiere in London. Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical will open at the recently refurbished Lyric Theatre on 28 May 2021.


The show will chart the Jamaican singer-songwriter's remarkable rise and his lasting legacy for the music industry. From his early hits with The Wailers to his advocacy of Rastafari spirituality, Marley became a cultural icon in his short 36-year life. Along with global fame and enduring hits including Is This Love, No Woman No Cry and Buffalo Soldier, Marley's life story includes drama and strife, from an assassination attempt to a fatal illness.


The songs and life story are brought to the stage by writer Lee Hall, the talent behind blockbuster films including Rocketman and Billy Elliot, and director Clint Dyer, who recently impressed London audiences with Death of England: Delroy at the National Theatre.




Rising star Arinzé Kene, who has impressed in his own play Misty and on the West End stage in Girl From the North Country, will play Bob Marley in Get Up, Stand Up!.


'I feel absolutely honoured to be able to take on this role,' he said. 'It is not only an honour to be able to spread Bob Marley’s message further, but to get to be him for a little while is a lifelong dream come true. I grew up on his music and his mantra and he has been one of my role models since I was a child. I feel as if he's in my DNA.'

  • Xu

    Xu has it all. It looks good enough to eat, the menu is thrilling and they're to be applauded for bringing proper Taiwanese dining to London. The service is beautifully judged and well informed. The only challenge may be getting a reservation, as almost all the critics love it.

  • Temper

    The brilliant thing about Temper is its focus is on avoiding waste: beef fat is used for homemade tortillas and butter, whilst broth is made using bones. There's also a big emphasis on working with whole animals and rare-breeds such as Beer Fed Dexter, Longhorn and Highland Beef.
