Bob Marley Musical: Reggae legend gets off-Broadway show

If this goes well, college freshman might have another poster to put on their walls. There is an off-Broadway musical coming that is based around the music of reggae legend Bob Marley.

(Well, technically it's based off a children's book that is based off the songs of Bob Marley. Roll with me here.)

The musical titled Bob Marley's Three Little Birds will open at the New Victory Theatre in Times Square in February and will feature famous Marley tracks like "Three Little Birds", "Is This Love", "Jammin'" and "I Shot The Sheriff."

Via Rolling Stone:

"It tells the story of Ziggy, a Jamaican child so wary of the tropical storms and evil spirits in the outside world, he chooses to stay inside all day. But with a little help from his mother, a neighbor and a bird, the pint-sized hero gets the courage he needs to hop off the couch to face the rest of the world because, as they say, "every little thing is gonna be all right."

The book's author (and Bob's daughter), Cedella Marley, said that she wants her father toar "speak to children through his music." 

The show runs from February 7-23.
