In the Monticello Opera House production, Samuel King portrays &#8220;No Moe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the perfect place for a show like this to happen! With the intimate venue, you almost feel like you&#8217;re really in a club seeing these performances happen live. It really does make you feel like you&#8217;re in an immersive setting and that&#8217;s the fun part of this show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And of course there&#8217;s that great music! Here&#8217;s Music Director Robert Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of the songs are pretty much high energy, funny, they tell stories, which can relate to the audience. There&#8217;s a lot of audience participation. We even bring some of the people up on the stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monticellooperahouse.org\/items\/five-guys-named-moe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.monticellooperahouse.org\/items\/five-guys-named-moe<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/etatheatrics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/etatheatrics.com\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2026 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1137,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Five Guys Named Moe&quot;
