Five Guys Named Moe, an exuberant tribute to the music of Louis Jordan, a rhythm and blues pioneer and alto saxophonist, was nominated for two Broadway Tony Awards. With a cast of six singer/dancers and a six-piece swinging band, the show features more than 25 songs, including favorites such as “Let the Good Times Roll,” Saturday Night Fish Fry,” “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby” and “Choo Choo Ch’ Boogie.” The Los Angeles Times called Five Guys Named Moe “A big party with… enough high spirits to send a small rocket into orbit.” It is recommended for ages 11 and up.
Skylight Music Theatre is Milwaukee’s only professional music theatre company and will celebrate its 60th anniversary season in 2019-2020.
