Cat Stevens’ ‘Moonshadow’ Premiered In Melbourne 10 years Ago

Cat Stevens’ short-lived musical ‘Moonshadow’ premiered in Melbourne, Australia 10 years ago but is yet to see life around the world.

Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens acknowledged the 10 year anniversary of the stage show saying, “it’s the 10th Anniversary of the musical “Moonshadow”

“The story is reflective of the challenge many people are facing today as they struggle to meet their needs for food and energy for their homes.”

‘Moonshadow’ had a four week run in Melbourne but closed early after mixed reviews although at Noise11 we really enjoyed it.
