FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE, take over the Grandel Stage on March 24th The Black Rep opens the third mainstage production of Season 33. The show features the music of legendary horn player Louis Jordan. Lead character Nomax, whose girlfriend has left him and who is without money, finds Big Moe, Four-Eyed Moe, Eat Moe, No Moe, and Little Moe emerging from his 1930's-style radio to comfort him. They sing the hit songs of songwriter and saxophonist Louis Jordan, whose new slant on jazz paved the way for rock and roll in the 1950s.

It's only fitting that the original 'King of the Jukebox', songwriter, musician and bandleader Louis Jordan, be honored with his own 'jukebox' musical (featuring a well-crafted book by Clarke Peters). FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE is a delightfully frothy concoction that takes its simple thread of a story and then lovingly drapes it in a wonderful collection of Jordan's finest songs. The Black Rep is currently presenting a dazzling and upbeat production (March 24 - April 25, 2010) that's immensely entertaining.

The summer of love gives way to a summer of hate as two families fight to rule the streets. Inspired by social movements and popular music of the late '60's, The Black Rep's dynamic production of ROMEO AND JULIET follows the Montagues and Capulets in their tragic dance with honor and destiny. And in the middle of it all, the world's most famous couple reminds us that love is the real revolution.
