"Following sell-out successes in the West End, Toronto and Miami, and based on the iconic seventies film that launched Jimmy Cliff onto the world stage, this exhilarating production tells the story of a country boy who makes for the bright lights of Kingston, Jamaica with high hopes of becoming a reggae star.
"When the harsh reality of the music scene drives him into a fast and furious life as an outlaw, he would rather die than give up his dream! All the songs that made the movie so unforgettable are here – You Can Get It If You Really Want, Many Rivers To Cross, Higher And Higher, Rivers Of Babylon and The Harder They Come – all performed live by the hottest reggae band this side of the Atlantic." So says the New Theatre website.
This is also part of the Cardiff Festival which runs throughout the summer and is well worth a-watching if you like all things reggae.
