When is opening night for Moon Shadow the musical?
Hi Lesley, I don’t believe a London theatre for Monshadow the Musical has been confirmed yet. Certainly there’s no news on Yusuf’s own site yet. As soon as the dates for London are known we’ll update the London Theatre Breaks blog. Moonshadow is on its way, and the exerpts I’ve heard sound very promising.
