“Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World”, The Toronto Fringe Festival, Tarragon Theatre, Toronto, ON

I just saw Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World with Duane Forrest, part of the Toronto Fringe Festival, at the Tarragon Theatre. 


Join Duane Forrest on an acoustic journey through the roots of reggae to the global influence of Bob Marley. Experience acoustic renditions of legendary reggae songs that have reshaped countless lives, including Duane’s own. Audience members are invited to sing along and get involved in this interactive musical experience.

It was soooooo good! Duane told stories of growing up in Scarborough, Bob Marley, Jamaican history and more. He sang reggae songs (and explained what they meant) and encouraged everyone to sing along (which we did). There was a lot of love in the audience … we gave him a standing ovation! Today was supposed the last show but it won the patron’s award so another show was added for tomorrow afternoon … you gotta go check it out!
