The Olivier Award-nominated international smash hit The Choir of Man will return to London this Christmas, opening at Arts at Marble Arch, powered by TodayTix, on 10 December 2026 and running until 14 February 2027.
The London season follows the production’s first ever UK & Ireland tour, which opened at New Wimbledon Theatre in March and is currently touring the UK and Ireland. The tour will conclude at Edinburgh Festival Theatre in December before the show heads back to the capital.
The Choir of Man first opened in the West End at the Arts Theatre in October 2021. During a run of more than 1,000 performances, the production welcomed over 280,000 audience members and earned an Olivier Award nomination for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play before closing its most recent West End engagement in January 2026.
Nic Doodson, creator and director of The Choir of Man, said, “We’ve always said that home isn’t really a building; it’s the people who know your name, pull up a chair, fill your glass and make room for you exactly as you are. For a long time, one particular corner of London felt like home to us, and we’ve really missed it.
“So it feels incredibly special to be bringing The Choir of Man back to the West End, opening the doors to our brand-new pub at the Arts at Marble Arch. It may be a new pub and a new chapter, but the feeling at the heart of the show remains exactly the same: whoever you are, and wherever you’ve come from, there will always be a place for you at our table.
“London, we’re coming home — and we can’t wait to see you at the bar.”
Set in an on-stage pub called The Jungle, The Choir of Man combines harmonies, contemporary chart hits, tap dance and storytelling, performed by a cast of nine performers.
The show features music from artists including Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns N’ Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry, celebrating community, friendship and the unifying power of live music.
Since its creation, The Choir of Man has enjoyed international success, including three sell-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and multiple sold-out tours across the United States and Europe.
Tickets for the London season go on sale next week, with casting to be announced at a later date.
The Choir of Man is created by Nic Doodson and Andrew Kay, directed by Nic Doodson, with musical supervision, vocal arrangements and orchestrations by Jack Blume, choreography by Freddie Huddleston, monologues by Ben Norris, scenic design by Oli Townsend, lighting design by Richard Dinnen, costume design and co-scenic design by Verity Sadler, sound design by Sten Severson and casting by Debbie O’Brien.
