New company and extension announced for THE CHOIR OF MAN

Opening hours extended again! The Olivier-nominated international stage sensation The Choir of Man continues its sell-out West End run at the Arts Theatre, with a new company and tickets released for dates until 18 February 2024.

An uplifting celebration of community and friendship with something for everyone… including free beer! Enjoy 90 minutes of feel-good, foot-stomping entertainment unlike anything else in the West End.

Brimming with hits from artists such as Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns & Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry to name but a few, a wildly talented group of incredible instrumentalists, world-class wordsmiths, and sensational singers; this cast of nine (extra)ordinary guys serve it all…live!

The new company of the West End show are Adam Bayjou (Les Misérables, West End) as The Hard Man, Michele Maria Benvenuto (West End debut) as The Maestro, Andrew J Carter (The Phantom of the Opera, Beau Sejour Centre) as The Pub Bore, Ben Goffe (Hex, National Theatre) as The Handyman, Luke Conner Hall (Bat Out of Hell, International Tour, Australia/New Zealand, Peacock Theatre) as The Romantic, Michael Hamway (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella, West End) as The Poet, Mark Irwin (The Commitments, West End) as The Barman, Tom Miles (The Choir of Man, Norwegian Cruise Line, Arts Theatre, UK tour) as The Beast and Daniel Harnett (The Choir of Man, West End, US National tour) as The Joker.

Completing the company are Sam Ebenezer (The Mousetrap, West End), James Hudson (Saturday Night Fever, Peacock Theatre), Peter Lawrence (The Choir of Man, UK tour & International Venues), and Niall Woodson (West End debut).

The on-stage band has Emmanuel Nana Kwasi Bonsu on drums, Jack Hartigan on guitar, Darius Luke Thompson on violin and Sam Tookey on bass.

Creator and director Nic Doodson said: “We’re absolutely delighted to extend the opening hours of The Choir of Man in the West End. Since first opening at the Arts Theatre in 2021, it’s come to be a real home for us and we love opening the doors to The Jungle, our onstage pub, and welcoming everyone in to share an evening of stories, song and of course, a beer or two. The new company that will be the landlords of The Jungle are an incredible group of performers and we can’t wait for not only our regulars but also our new visitors to see them every night!“
