News: The Choir of Man to open in the West End

Worldwide smash-hit The Choir of Man is set to open in the West End at the Arts Theatre from Friday 29 October, with an official press night on Tuesday 9 November.

An international hit from the minds of Andrew Kay (Soweto Gospel Choir, Noise Boys, Gobsmacked and the award-winning North by Northwest) and Nic Doodson (The Magnets, Gobsmacked and Noise Boys), The Choir of Man comes after three sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and multiple sold-out US and European tours.

Take a trip to the best local, featuring amazing reinventions of folk, pop, Broadway and rock chart-toppers from artists including Guns ‘N’ Roses, Fun!, Adele, Avicii, Paul Simon, Sia and many more. It’s a party, a concert and a lock-in like no other.

Cast includes nine multi-talented guys, who combine beautiful harmonies and foot-stomping singalongs with world-class tap dance and poetic meditations on the power of community. It is a riotously feel-good homage to that gathering place we’ve all missed so much over the past year: the pub, complete with a real working bar on stage.

The show is directed by Nic Doodson, with musical arrangement and supervision by Jack Blume, choreography by Freddie Huddleston, monologues written by Ben Norris, scenic design by Oli Townsend, lighting design by Richard Dinnen and costume by Verity Sadler.

The show is produced by Immersive Everywhere, Nic Doodson, Andrew Kay and Andy and Wendy Barnes.
