Revival of Clarke Peters' popular musical delivers a feel-good blast along with some dodgy sexual politics

Excellent, I was in Edinburgh with my 16 year old daughter, booked the tickets just the day before,. The show was very good value, vibrant and funny and the music was great, we both came out with a big smile on our faces, exceeded our expectations

A tale of two halves. The acting in first half was poor, diction was awful. The songs were quite good and the band was fantastic. However in the second half because it was mostly a singing performance it was a lot more enjoyable. The chicken song was really good. The venue had multiple columns around the donut stage which gave constant restricted views, overall I'd rate it 6/10

Took my husband, 23 and 20 year old children out into the December rain to see this show, not quite sure how it would go down with the Instagram generation. I needn't have worried. We ALL loved it and, really - how could anyone not? Fantastic singing and dancing, great songs, simple but thrilling staging and costumes. Get your hands on a ticket and you'll come out not caring about the weather any more (and that's quite an achievement in Edinburgh!)

This is one show not to miss, for me it had everything - colour, talent, theatre, humour, signing, dancing (swing and tap) and of course the all important music and live band, a rotating stage and a palpable WOW factor - just go, you will not be disappointed!!!

Hard to think of a performance that could match the energy, vibrancy and sheer raw talent of Five Guys Named Moe. Fantastic set design, very talented vocalists, terrific musical talent are all very much a given here, but you will find yourself regularly surprised as the cast exceed your expectations in more ways than one. Very engaging, and worth every penny... I would stress this is a performance that would be a shame to miss, you won't find the same experience elsewhere. I'm honestly tempted to see it a second time. Bravo!
