I was very excited to hear that 'Five Guys Named Moe' is to return to London, this time in a special new theatre in Marble Arch.
'Immersive' projects seem increasingly popular; productions are now frequently embellished with modern, unique spaces and extra treats such as themed bars and cosplay experiences.
The recently closed 'In the Heights' and 'The Railway Children' played in the temporary Kings Cross site, with an atmospheric front of house adding to the overall experience. It is an exciting growing trend, one which nicely complements the beautiful theatres which pepper the West End.
If the Original London cast recording of 'Five Guys Named Moe' is anything to go by, we're in for a real treat. I am a huge fan of both musicals and jazz; what better than to have both at once?!
Opening at the specially created Marble Arch Theatre in September, this London revival certainly seems unmissable!
