The story of ‘Moonshadow’ is set on the planet Alayia with a human plot set in an alien world.

Yusuf wrote some new music for the show to link his classic songs into the story.

The musical features many of the great songs of Cat Stevens including ‘Moonshadow’, ‘Matthew & Son’, ‘Father & Son’, ‘Wild World’, ‘Sad Lisa’ and ‘Remember The Days of the Old School Yard’.

Moonshadow is at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne for a limited season.

Watch the Noise11 sneak preview of the show with Yusuf telling us about Moonshadow.
