The small show that wowed audiences over the summer at Wonderground in Barons Court is now a big show wowing audiences in London’s West End!
The Choir of Man is simply a show where the cast of men men sing. But it’s actually a lot more than that. It’s set in a pub, with an actual bar on stage that serves beer (get there early to get yours – on the house). It’s a show where we get to meet each and every cast member, thanks to the excellent narration by Ben Norris. They start the show with‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ and continue with songs by Adele, Sia and Paul Simon (’50 Ways to Leave Your Lover’). And there’s more. Some lucky audience members get to be brought up on stage (with a mask of course) to be serenaded to. But it’s also like a night out at the pub with your friends, not just the people you came with but with the cast as well. And by the end of the show (90 minutes) you’ll feel like you made a dozen new friends and had a great night down at the pub – but it was in a theatre. You’ll feel all warm and fuzzy inside as you leave the Arts Theatre. The Choir of Man is highly recommended (I’ve seen it twice) – and don’t forget – get there early for your free pint!
The cast is: Matt Beveridge, Tom Brandon, George Bray, Miles Anthony Daley, Daniel Hartnett, Alistair, Higgins, Freddie Huddleston, Richard Lock, Mark Loveday, and Tyler Orphe-Baker, among others on various nights.
Tickets are now on sale through to 3 April 2022.
