New musical hits New Victory Theater

The timeless music of Bob Marley comes to life on the stage when “Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds” opens as a musical at the New Victory Theatre on Feb. 7.

The story is based on a children’s book written by Marley’s daughter Cedella, and follows young Ziggy as he learns how to “breathe easy” and stop worrying about everything. It’s geared toward children ages 5 years and older, and the melodies will have both parents and kids swaying along.

“Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds” begins Feb. 7 and runs through Feb. 23. Showtimes are noon and 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Additional performances on Feb. 17, 19, 20, and 21 at 2 pm. Tickets range from $14 to $25.
