"...The narrative pace of the hour-long show does slow to a good-humored amble for the middle 20 minutes. But whatever is happening onstage, we're rarely more than a few seconds away from an infectious musical number - "Roots, Rock, Reggae," "Natural Mystic," "One Love," and more - breezily but effectively hooked into the plot. You might not have thought of Marley's music as a natural complement to children's theater. But the two got together, and it feels all right."

The spirit of Bob Marley is alive and well, and jammin’, mon, as part of an adorable tropical mix at Adventure Theatre MTC. Nick Olcott directs with high octane fun in all the right places, including a passage about wearing red underwear to ward off bad spirits, turning a potentially scary moment into raucous hilarity.
