The cast includes renowned gospel singer Zebulon Ellis as “Big Moe”, Bryan Terrell Clark as “Four-Eyed Moe”, Jesse Nager as “No Moe”, Michael Kilgore as “Eat Moe”, Ron Kellum as “Little Moe”, and Ken Robinson as “No Max”.

            Audiences will be pleased to hear some of Louis Jordan’s greatest hits including, “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby,” “Caldonia,” “Let the Good Times Roll,” and “Knock Me a Kiss.”

            Tickets are now on sale and the show will run from October 20-25. Listen to the tunes that inspired the musical on Louis Jordan's exclusive V-Disc available on Lost Gold Records.
