The Public Theatre, 2023

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and The Public’s Writer-in-Residence, Suzan-Lori Parks, brings to The Public a new musical adaptation of the 1972 movie, THE HARDER THEY COME. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the breakthrough film, produced and directed by Perry Henzell and co-written with Trevor Rhone, tells the story of Ivan, a young singer who arrives in Kingston, Jamaica, eager to become a star. After falling in love and cutting a record deal with a powerful music mogul, Ivan soon learns that the game is rigged, and as he becomes increasingly defiant, he finds himself in a battle that threatens not only his life, but the very fabric of Jamaican society.

Something that will Never Not Frustrate me is that there is no clean version of the closing song of The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (I Will Sing by Jeannette Bayardelle), ie without the characters speaking over it. And it's so short too! It was always one of my favorite songs from the movie, and I really wish there was a proper extended version, or at least one with just the song

Anyone know where I can find a full/clean/live version of I Will Sing from Ariel’s Beginning by Jeannette Bayardelle 👀

[oldbaton]

Besides I’m Here which is brilliant and perfect structured I’ve never thought the musical version of The Color Purple did it justice. But let me tell you I saw Jeannette Bayardelle as Celie. And the ROAR when she said “I’m beautiful”. That was 2008 and I’ve never forgotten it.

This song and the moment is perfect. The way it builds to the simple phrase “I’m beautiful”. Stunning. You gotta watch Jeanette do it:
