A UK theatre has come under fire on social media for prohibiting audience members from dancing at a Bob Marley tribute show, 'Legend - the Music of Bob Marley'. Reggae fans were shocked when they were told to remain seated during the performance at the Royal & Derngate in Northampton, prompting outrage and disappointment. The incident has sparked a debate about audience freedom and the role of theatres in enforcing strict rules, with many calling for a more relaxed approach to musical events and live performances, including concerts and tribute acts like this one, which often feature iconic songs like 'Get Up, Stand Up'
