Cat Stevens' MOONSHADOW Musical to Make Australian Debut in May 2012

Moonshadow, a new musical by Yusuf, featuring the music and lyrics of Cat Stevens/Yusuf, will make its World Premiere at the Princess Theatre in May 2012. This $5 million production will feature an all Australian cast.

Embarking as a young singer-songwriter in the sixties and with 60 million records sold worldwide, Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) has enjoyed one of the most unique careers in pop music history. With an incredible fan base and such a broad appeal, the prospect of a new musical conceived by him and spanning his amazing catalogue is a dream come true.

Through his much loved songs and music Moonshadow will take the audience on an incredible journey with a magical story of a young man and his moonshadow's struggle against the oncoming of darkness. As the night planet prepares for the Big Blackout by the death of the Moon, the odd duo battle to overcome the hidden enemy, in search for the mythical land of the lost sun ... and everlasting happiness.

With hits around every corner, such as Father and Son, Wild World, Morning Has Broken, Peace Train, and First Cut is the Deepest, this musical will guarantee to send audiences out happily singing the songs they know so well.
