West End hit musical THE CHOIR OF MAN announces UK Tour for 2026

The producers of The Choir of Man, the Olivier Award-nominated international smash hit that continues to thrill audiences in London’s West End, are delighted to announce the show’s first ever UK Tour in 2026. Opening at New Wimbledon Theatre on Saturday 14 March, the production will embark on a 38-week tour of the UK, visiting venues nationwide until 5 December 2026. Tickets go on sale today at 10am, with further dates to be announced.

The Choir of Man has been described as the best trip to your local you’ll ever have. A cast of nine extraordinary performers combine soaring harmonies, foot-stomping singalongs, world-class tap dance and soulful storytelling in a joyous celebration of community, friendship and music. Featuring songs by Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns & Roses, Avicii, Katy Perry and more, the show is guaranteed to leave audiences uplifted – and includes free beer served during the performance.

Creator and director Nic Doodson said: “It’s a huge moment for us to launch The Choir of Man’s very first UK national tour. It’s incredible to see how far the show has come since our start at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017. After four years in London’s West End, Olivier Award recognition, and multiple tours across Europe, Australia and the US, it feels incredibly special to finally be taking the show on the road at home. Bringing our pub to audiences across the UK has always been a dream.”

The show has already enjoyed three sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House, multiple tours across the US and Europe, and is set to embark on a fourth North American tour from December 2025 to March 2026, covering 45 cities with 68 performances. In London, The Choir of Man has been running at the Arts Theatre since 2021, where it has played over 1,000 performances and earned an Olivier Award nomination for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play. The West End run continues until 4 January 2026. The production also partners with suicide prevention charity CALM (The Campaign Against Living Miserably) and with Signature Brew as its Official Alcohol-Free Beer Partner.

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 written by Ben Norris, scenic design by Oli Townsend, lighting design by Richard Dinnen, costume and co-scenic design by Verity Sadler, sound design by Sten Severson and casting by Debbie O’Brien. Casting for the UK Tour will be announced soon.

The tour is produced by HH Productions, Nic Doodson, Andrew Kay, Global Creative and Kenny Wax.
