Award-nominated musical The Choir of Man has revealed casting for its first ever UK and Ireland tour.
The production opens at New Wimbledon Theatre on 14 March, before touring nationwide until 5 December. A full list of currently confirmed tour dates has been released, with more venues still to come.
Created by Nic Doodson and Andrew Kay, and directed by Nic, the show recently closed in London after more than 1,000 performances at the Arts Theatre. During its run, it picked up an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play.
Performed by a cast of nine, The Choir of Man blends close-harmony vocals, singalong moments, tap dance and storytelling, all set to a soundtrack featuring music by Queen, Adele, Paul Simon, Avicii and Katy Perry. Audience members are also offered a free beer during the show, which fits perfectly with its relaxed, pub-style atmosphere.
The tour cast includes:
Gustav as Maestro
Nimi Owoyemi as Poet
Levi Tyrell Johnson as Hard Man
Ben Mabberley as Joker
Rob Godfrey as Beast
Jack Skelton as Handyman
Joshua Lloyd as Barman
Sam Walter as Romantic
Aaron Pottenger as Bore
With Sam Ebenezer, Jared Leathwood, Niall Woodson and Lewis Dragisic appearing as swings.
The creative team includes Jack Blume on musical supervision, vocal arrangements and orchestrations, Freddie Huddleston on movement and choreography, Ben Norris writing the monologues, and designs by Oli Townsend (set), Richard Dinnen (lighting), Verity Sadler (costume and co-scenic) and Sten Severson (sound). Casting is by Debbie O’Brien.
The tour is produced by HH Productions alongside Nic, Andrew, Global Creative and Kenny Wax.
With its mix of big voices, well-known songs and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, The Choir of Man looks set to bring its feel-good energy to audiences across the UK and Ireland in 2026.
