We’re all familiar with The Beatles. Their legacy is immortalised for generations to come, but what if it were all different? What if the description of the razor sharp, quick witted, rebellious rogue was not John Lennon, but Lucy Desmond?  

The Moondogs tells an alternative reality to Beatles phenomena with Lucy Desmond, a singer in an up and coming beat group of the 60s, collectively known as The Moondogs. The young group are trying to make a name for themselves, but after many trials and tribulations, they are reaching a breaking point which could jeopardise their future.   

After a SOLD OUT run at the Epstein Theatre in 2022, the hit show, written by Ashley Ali, returns to the stage at the historic Gladstone Theatre in October 2024. Whether you are a Beatles fanatic, theatre goer, or you just want to have a good time… this is a show you don’t want to miss!

Directed by award winner Andrew Games, this brand new instalment of The Moondogs is guaranteed to be a new and improved reimagination of the popular show. Working alongside Strider legend Mark Reader as Musical Director, and Heather Kennedy as Costume Designer/Advisor, the three will combine their expertise to provide the strongest aspects of live performance in acting, costume and music, with a talented cast of actors and musicians to bring a three-dimensional experience that'll leave the audience filled with infectious energy.

Actors Jessie Turton (Lucy Desmond), Jordan Kennedy (Paul McCartney), Marky Reader (George Harrison), Charlie Birchall (Michael McCartney) and Andrew Games (Brian Epstein), return to their respective roles. Whereas Harry Privett (John Lennon), Jamie Davies (Ringo Starr) and Heather Kennedy (Louise Harrison) are the newest editions to the cast, with Mark Reader (Jim McCartney) reprising his respective role, whilst also introducing a brand new character to The Moondogs tale...

The Moondogs will be performed LIVE at the Gladstone Theatre on Friday 4th October (7:30PM), and Saturday 5th October (2:30PM & 7:30PM). 

Leading up to the show, expect to witness a brand new campaign with high quality material, such as character stills, cast interviews, and documentaries, provided to you by JTurton Photography, Panowerx Pictures, and Tonewood Productions.
