FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE
LIGHTING AND VIDEO DESIGNER
UPSTAIRS AT THE GATEHOUSE, DECEMBER 2021
Five Guys Named Moe is an explosion of entertainment using the great music of Louis Jordan.
A Musical by Clarke Peters
Directed and Choreographed by Mykal Rand.
Presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International and Cameron Makintosh
Nomax is our Hero – he’s broke, his girlfriend’s left him, and he’s listening to the radio at five in the morning. Out of the radio step Big Moe, Little Moe, Eat Moe, No Moe and Four Eyed Moe.
Singing and dancing to Jordan’s jazz-laced rhythm and blues score, the Moes encourage Nomax to turn his life around, get his girl back, and encourage all of us to ‘let the good times roll’.
Classic Louis Jordan numbers include Saturday Night Fish Fry; Safe Sane and Single; and Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby.

★★★★
‘“Jean Gray’s costumes give The Moe’s the right 30’s/40’s look and when combined with Timothy Kelly’s lighting there is a great nightclub feel to the production that enhances the highly spirited and impressive renditions by the five Moe’s themselves.”’
