Legendary British athlete and double OIympic champion Mo Farah met with the cast of Motown The Musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre last night.
And while the long distance runner is used to triumphing and claiming gold medals on the track, on this occasion he was quick to score a ticket to the golden West End musical.
