The Choir Of Man Announces New West End Cast

The much-loved pub-set musical, The Choir of Man, is making its highly anticipated return to the West End this spring. Following a brief closure for venue upgrades, the hit production will reopen at the Arts Theatre on 12 March, running until 31 August.

Known for its heartwarming blend of music, storytelling, and camaraderie, The Choir of Man follows a group of men as they reflect on life through song. The show has captivated audiences on tour, at the Edinburgh Fringe, and in Earl’s Court before settling into its West End home in 2021.

A fresh lineup will join the production, with Jason Brock (Thriller Live) as Romantic, Benji Lord (Dreamboats and Petticoats) as Joker, and David Booth (The Threepenny Opera) as Pub Bore. Also taking the stage are Paul McArthur (Tracks) as Poet, Oliver Jacobson (Come From Away) as Barman, and Alex Mallalieu and Toby Francis as swings. Returning cast members include Rob Godfrey as Beast, Ifan Gwilym-Jones as Maestro, George Knapper as Handyman, and Bradley Walwyn as Hardman, with David Shute and Tom Carter-Miles reprising their roles as swings.

Created by Nic Doodson and Andrew Kay, the show is directed by Doodson, with Ben Norris providing the monologues. The production features musical supervision and arrangements by Jack Blume, choreography by Freddie Huddleston, and scenic design by Oli Townsend. With its uplifting atmosphere and foot-stomping performances, The Choir of Man promises to bring audiences right back to the heart of the pub for another unforgettable run.
