His woman left him, he's broke, and it's almost five o'clock in the mornin'. But don't worry about our hero Nomax. Out of his '30s-style radio pop "FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE", who cajole, wheedle, comfort, and jazz him with the whimsical hit songs of Louis Jordan, one of the most beloved songwriting talents of the twentieth century.

In the 1940s, bandleader Louis Jordan pioneered a new kind of music. A mix of jazz, blues and jive-talking humor, Jordan's music became wildly
popular.

Jordan was a singer, saxophonist and bandleader whose specialty was jump blues with a danceable beat accompanied by an antic humor. These songs jumped, rocked and swung; and eventually led to the birth of rock 'n' roll through the likes of Bill Haley and Chuck Berry.

In their multi-colored zoot suits, the 'Five Guys Named Moe" harmonize, croon, wail, tap and joke their way through 27 Louis Jordan hits. This cast of entertainers practically knock themselves out to make sure the audience is having a good time.

The show stopping "Choo Choo Choo Boogie" and the sentimental "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" are crowd pleasers of the first order.

The audience finds it impossible to resist joining in the riotous fun with the comic Moes, who seem like cartoon characters come to life.

Produced by Cameron Mackintosh the show was originally produced at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East. It then played on Broadway from April 1992 through May, 1993 for 445 performances where it was nominated for two Tony Awards. Click here for information about the Broadway production.
