Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World

Duane Forrest—John Hirsch Mainstage

Everything is irie now that Mr. Forrest in in the Peg! Mon, his packed audience Loved him! I cherish shows where we are encouraged to sing along and we sure did! Duane doesn’t just reproduce Marley’s well-loved music note by note; but makes it his own with his personal stylings. Heart rending video enriches his show, baring the poverty and cruelty the Jamaican people experienced. Throughout he spins his life story to date, sharing how and why Marley had such a deep influence on him.

Speaking with him after the show, he couldn’t have been more warm, and kind and patient, posing for pictures as the crew tried to shoo us out. This comfy, actual theatre seats 290, so there’s a seat for you. Take it!
