The Moneygoround: A One Man Show For One Night Only

“‘The Moneygoround’ is a one-man show documenting a character facing the challenging circumstances of making an album under extreme pressure,” Davies said in a statement. “This play, similar to a psychodrama, follows the ups and downs of the character as he plays out events in his life. He confronts the dark forces surrounding him after falling into an emotional and financial ‘hole’ eventually he is saved by a song after confiding in his friend, Lola.”

Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One, released in 1970 was a groundbreaking concept album of its era. Hit singles, which remain classic stop this day, include “Lola” and “Apeman.” The upcoming show follows a recent vinyl reissue of the hit album with remastered audio and bonus material including a 60-page book and four colour prints – check it out here.
