The Harder They Come

Arsht Center, Miami

August 28 - September 13, 2009

A hard-driving, irresistible musical celebration! Young singer Ivan Martin heads to Kingston with dreams of becoming a reggae star, but a corrupt and drug-fueled music industry drives him into a fast and furious life as Jamaica's most-wanted outlaw and most-celebrated underground star.

Accompanied by a killer band of outstanding reggae musicians, the cast performs all the classic songs from the film soundtrack, including By The Rivers of Babylon, the title song, and the unforgettable global phenomenon, You Can Get It If You Really Want. Jan Ryan, Robert Fox and Michael White
