Five Guys Named Moe Playbill - Opening Night, April 1992
A jazzy, sexy tribute straight from the jukebox of rhythm and blues pioneer, Louis Jordan, Five Guys Named Moe has become an international sensation.
Nomax’s world has been turned upside down. He's broke and heartbroken after his lovely Lorraine left him, and while listening to the radio alone at 5:00am, out of nowhere five guys named Moe appear from the radio. Set to Jordan’s iconic rhythm and blues/jazz score, the Moes encourage Nomax to turn his life around and tell Lorraine that he loves her. An international sensation, this musical fantasy brings sheer joy and exuberant entertainment!
