You may also recall their take on Hamilton which had over a million plays and their ‘Shantified’ Six medley, where they were joined by members of the West End cast.

The Show Shanties boast an incredible cast including Louis Maskell (Lord of the Rings), Joe Bishop (Jersey Boys), Aidan Banyard (Les Misérables), Michael Riseley (Choir of Man), Andrew Gallo (Mamma Mia) and Ashley Jacobs (The Voice). 

Get ready to hear your favorite pop songs reimagined with a nautical twist, from chart-topping hits to iconic anthems. But that's not all! The Show Shanties dive deep into the world of musical theatre, taking songs from the bright lights of Broadway and the magic of the West End, infusing them with the spirit of the sea. 

So hoist the sails, raise your voices, and get ready to set sail on a musical journey you won't forget! 

There will be two performances on Sunday 7th April 2024 at 5pm and 6.30pm.
