The show is an uplifting celebration of community and friendship, featuring 90 minutes of feel-good, foot-stomping entertainment with songs and music from artists including Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns & Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry.
An international hit around the world, the show’s last run at the Arts Theatre was from October 2021 to April 2022 where it received an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play. It returned to the Arts Theatre on 1 October 2022
The Choir of Man is created by Nic Doodson and Andrew Kay, written by Ben Norris and directed by Nic Doodson.
Nic Doodson said in a press statement: “The Choir of Man is a show all about being together and the power of community. Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredibly talented and hard-working actors and musicians and we’re delighted to welcome Conor and Danny back into our little pub. The Jungle is a place through which many actors have passed, and each had contributed their talents and stories to the fabric of our show so when actors return it feels in a way like they’re coming home.”
