It is a dream come true to be part of this project and I cannot wait to get into the rehearsal room to start work with Arinzé and the whole team to bring Bob’s music and story to life. What better way to soothe our souls after this troublesome year than with the music and spirit of one of the world’s great prophets.”

We thought the show was going to be really good due to loving the music but what a let down I really wanted to put some harsh comments but don’t think it would solve the shows problem. Walked out half way in to show. Would of walk out sooner if I could of moved. Wouldn’t go back wouldn’t recommend

A great night out whether you are familiar with Marley's work or not. I defy you to remain still in your seat and not at the very least tap your feet. Obviously well researched, thoughtfully put together and enthusiastically performed. I would definitely go again. A beautiful insight into the world of the messenger that was Robert Nestor Marley. Well done

Ellen DeGeneres complains she was ‘kicked out of show business’ for being mean as she begins comedy tour

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Ellen DeGeneres’ new stand-up routine includes a bit about getting booted from Hollywood for being “mean” after her 2020 toxic workplace scandal.

The former “Ellen DeGeneres Show” host, who performed at Largo at the Coronet Theater in West Hollywood Wednesday, complained to viewers that she was “kicked out of show businesses” not once but twice.

“There here’s no mean people in show business. The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind,” DeGeneres, 66, said on stage during her new tour, “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour.” ( via Rolling Stone ).

Want celebrity news as it breaks? Hooked on Housewives?

“I became this one-dimensional character who gave stuff away and danced up steps. Do you know how hard it is to dance up steps? Would a mean person dance up steps? Had I ended my show by saying, ‘Go f–k yourself,’ people would’ve been pleasantly surprised.”

The “Finding Dory” voice actor reminded viewers that she also got the boot from TV when she came out as gay, thus ending her eponymous sitcom “Ellen” in the late ’90s.

“Eventually they’re going to kick me out for a third time because I’m mean, old, and gay,” she quipped.

DeGeneres experienced her second fall from grace in 2020 when she was accused of leading a toxic workplace , which resulted in the firing of three of her top producers .

Employees came forward and accused DeGeneres of leading the set with intimidation, racism and fear. A producer on an Australian morning show who had been on the set even claimed the comedian demanded no one make eye contact with her.

“I’m giving stuff away…and I danced, then I was mean and they didn’t like me again,” she said during her performance.

“It’s been such a toll on my ego and my self-esteem. There’s such extremes in this business, people either love you and idolize you or they hate you, and those people somehow are louder.”

Warner Bros. canceled the celebrity-filled talk show in 2022 following the controversy.

“This was a whole different thing,” she replied to a fan at the end of the set when she launched into an informal conversation with attendees. “This was like, ‘What is going on?’ It was so hurtful. I couldn’t gain perspective.

“I couldn’t do anything to make myself understand that it wasn’t personal,” she continued. “I just thought, ‘Well this is not the way I wanted to end my career, but this is the way it’s ending.’”

Jokes aside, the “Saving the Gorillas” narrator admitted the scandal was “devastating.”

“I just hated the way the show ended,” she shared. “I love that show so much and I just hated that the last time people would see me is that way.”

DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, admitted during the event that they both lay low in the aftermath because it was hard on both of them, but now they’re ready to get back to living.

“It’s hard to dance when you’re crying,” DeGeneres told an audience member. “But I am dancing now.”

“Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour” will head to San Diego, Calif., then Washington State, Oregon and the Bay Area. She told the crowd that her tour will culminate with a new Netflix special that will tape in the fall.

How to get tickets to Charli XCX and Troye Sivan in San Francisco

I n a match made in dance music heaven, pop icons Charli XCX and Troye Sivan are teaming up for a North American arena tour this fall, and general tickets to this 21-city roadshow — including an Oct. 20 stop at Chase Center — go live on April 26 at 10 a.m. local time.

“Charli XCX and Troye Sivan present: Sweat” kicks off Sept. 14 in Detroit, with stops in Toronto, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and more, before wrapping in Seattle Oct 23.

The tour news finds Charli XCX gearing up for the release of her sixth solo album “Brat” June 7, fresh off the announcement of her upcoming “Brat 2024” U.K. arena tour, and recently engaged to partner George Daniel of The 1975.

Sivan, meanwhile, has seen his third studio album, “Something to Give Each Other,” debut at No. 1 in his home country of Australia, before scoring two Grammy nominations for the lead single “Rush,” just days before raking in Song of the Year and Best Solo Artist at Australia's ARIA Awards.

Each musician, on their own, is a powerhouse, producing utterly irresistible, eminently danceable pop that feels as mainstream and radio-ready as it feels underground and experimental. But together, their chemistry makes pure musical magic, as seen in their collaborations “1999” and “2099.”

No new XCX-Sivan single has been confirmed as of yet, but the prolific artists and IRL besties won’t likely let the opportunity pass them by, and if one does happen, chances are, you’ll hear it Oct. 20 at Chase Center.

To score seats for “Charli XCX and Troye Sivan present: Sweat,” head to Ticketmaster on Thursday, April 26, at 10 a.m. ET to get tickets at face value before they sell out. VIP passes are also available at this time, which include perks like early entrance to Chase Center, pre-show photo ops by the stage, VIP lounge access, rideshare vouchers and more.

To ensure first dibs at face-value tickets, we suggest logging into your Ticketmaster account 15 minutes prior to the general onsale.

GET UP STAND UP! THE BOB MARLEY MUSICAL to Play Final Performance in the West End January 2023

Following the West End, the production will embark on a UK-wide tour with full details to be announced soon.

Get Up Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical which received its world premiere performance at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue on 1 October 2021, will play its final performance in London's West End on 8 January 2023. The critically acclaimed show has been playing to ecstatic crowds since October 2021 at the Lyric Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue and it was nominated for 4 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical winning the award for best orchestrations. Following the West End, the production will embark on a UK-wide tour with full details to be announced soon. The production is also planning multiple international engagements, with discussions underway in Europe, North and South America. A cast recording featuring the original cast including Olivier Award nominee Arinzé Kene as Bob Marley will be released later this year.

Since its opening in October 2021 lovers of Bob Marley 's inspirational music have flocked to the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue to revel in the production's thrilling and uplifting music and to discover Marley's extraordinary life, message and wisdom.

Producers said: "' Bob Marley 's music is inspirational to millions of people around the world. We are so proud to have launched this brilliant musical about his life and music in London's West End and to have brought his legacy to the stage. We are very excited to be planning the future adventures of Get Up Stand Up! which include a UK and International tour, a North American production and a soon to be available Original Cast Recording."

Cedella Marley said: "Hearing my father's music brought to life in this wonderful show has made me so proud. Proud that his legacy has reached so many people, proud that his music has so many fans and continues to inspire new generations and proud of the amazing group of people who have put the show together. It is so exciting that we can now plan for the show to travel around the UK and the world and that many more audiences will get the chance to see it and fall in love all over again with my father's music.

'It's not all that glitters is gold, half the story has never been told'

From the hills of rural Jamaica, armed only with his overwhelming talent, Bob Marley applied himself with resolute determination to achieve international acclaim for his prophetic musical message - a gospel of love and unity.
