Synopsis:
Following sell out seasons at the Theatre Royal Stratford East and The Barbican, The Harder They Come is now moving to the West End's Playhouse Theatre.
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 a head full of songs including You Can Get it if You Really Want, Many Rivers To Cross, Higher and Higher, Rivers of Babylon and The Harder They Come he dreams 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 kill his dream
The Harder They Come Reviews:
Hit reggae musical based on the 1972 Jimmy Cliff film.
Ivan is a country boy who dreams 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 kill his dream. This production was first staged at the Theatre Royal
Stratford East in 2005, where it enjoyed two sell-out
seasons, repeating this success at the Barbican in
spring 2008.
