Overview

Synopsis

The Choir of Man is a one of a kind musical chock- filled with 90 minutes of uplifting, joyous fun. Set in a typical British pub “The Jungle”, nine men have a foot stomping good time as they jam through popular songs by artists such as Katie Perry, Sia, and Guns & Roses to name a few. Throughout the show, these men form a sense of community and friendship in their local pub and take the audience on a roller coaster of emotion through their comradery and love for one another. Nominated for a 2022 Best Entertainment Olivier Award, The Choir of Man features a wildly talented group who do it all; singers, dancers, and instrumentalists. Complete with a working (free!) bar on stage, this energizing jukebox musical will leave audiences wishing they could visit the “best pub in the world” once more, time and time again!
