The Choir of Man UK tour announced

Long-running West End musical The Choir of Man is hitting the road next year, after the show leaves the West End.

The Choir of Man tour will start at the New Wimbledon Theatre in London on 14 March 2026, and then tour to Bath, Cambridge, Coventry, Peterborough, Brighton, Glasgow, Manchester, Sunderland, Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Sheffield, York, Leicester, Birmingham, Malvern, Canterbury, Colchester, Cheltenham, Chester, Richmond, Aylesbury, Southend, Guildford, Swindon, Northampton, Wolverhampton, Southampton, High Wycombe, and Edinburgh.

The Choir of Man is closing at the Arts Theatre in London on 4 January 2026, ahead of a major refurbishment.

Producers are looking for another venue in London to host the show, including a proposal to build a temporary theatre at Marble Arch in London.

The show kicked off its West End journey at the Arts Theatre in October 2021 and has welcomed over 280,000 audience members through the doors across over 1,000 performances.

Forthcoming international productions of the show include Shanghai from 10 September to 19 October 2025.

Nic Doodson, Creator and Director of The Choir of Man, said in a statement: “It’s a huge moment for us to launch The Choir of Man’s very first UK national tour. It’s incredible to see how far the show has come from our start at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017 and now, after four years in London’s West End, Olivier Award recognition, and multiple tours across Europe, Australia, and our fourth U.S. national tour in 2026, it feels incredibly special to finally be taking the show on the road at home. Bringing our pub to audiences across the UK has always been a dream.”
