FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE – Marble Arch Theatre ★★★★★
Created thirty years ago by Clarke Peters and swiftly transferring from the Theatre Royal Stratford East across town to the West End and then to Broadway, it is a delight to see the show return to London, where it simply outclasses many of today’s long-running musicals.
FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE – Marble Arch Theatre ★★★★

SHREK THE MUSICAL – Touring
If like me you enjoyed the films of Shrek and saw it in the West End, then you to will enjoy this.
It has everything, colourful costumes and sets. Humour, a few songs and more humour. This ogre has a big heart and Dean Chisnall continues to play it perfectly.
