Mykal Rand will direct and choreograph a new production of Clarke Peters’ exuberant Five Guys Named Moe at London’s Upstairs at the Gatehouse next month.
Rand who was resident director and choreographer on the hit 2018 pop-up theatre production at Marble Arch, will take charge of a cast made up of AJ Lewis (Thriller Live), recent graduate Andre Coulson, Juan Jackson (Cats), Kieran McGinn (Motown The Musical), KM Drew Boateng (Motown The Musical) and Lawrence Rowe (The Book of Mormon).
Presented by Ovation, the creative team for the production which will play the Highgate venue from 15 December 2021 until 16 January 2022 will also include musical director Sufia Manya, lighting designer Timothy Kelly, set designer Ryan Webster and sound designer Toby Burrow. Casting is by Pearson Casting.
Featuring the hits of jazz legend Louis Jordan, Peters’ Five Guys Named Moe was first seen at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in 1990, before transferring to the West End where it played for four years. In 1992 the show made its Broadway debut. Five Guys Named Moe won the 1991 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment Production.
