RAISE your glasses. The Choir Of Man, the Olivier award-nominated international hit musical with the pub setting, will play the Grand Opera House, York, from June 30 to July 4 2026 on its inaugural UK tour.
Tickets go on sale general on sale tomorrow (3/10/2025) at 10am at https://www.atgtickets.com/shows/the-choir-of-man/grand-opera-house-york/.
After “thrilling audiences night after night in London’s West End”, the producers will be sending a cast of nine (extra)ordinary guys on the road with their combination of beautiful harmonies, foot-stomping singalongs and instrumental flourishes, topped off with tap dancing and soulful storytelling.
Featuring Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns N’ Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry hits to name but a few, this uplifting celebration of community and friendship offers something for everyone – including free beer!
Creator and director Nic Doodson says: “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 from our start at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017…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 Choir Of Man stage will include a fully functional bar with taps, well-stocked shelves and signage, designed to give the feel of a genuine working pub. Expect vintage fixtures and pub memorabilia to evoke a traditional pub ambience.
The Choir Of Man has sold out three seasons at the Sydney Opera House and multiple American and European tours. The show will embark on its fourth North American tour from December to March 2026, playing 68 shows in 45 cities, including two residencies in West Palm Beach, Florida, and returning to Cleveland.
The Choir Of Man’s West End residency at the Arts Theatre began in 2021, since when it has enjoyed more than 1,000 performances with many sold-out shows and an Olivier award nomination for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play.
The UK tour is produced by HH Productions, Nic Doodson, Andrew Kay, Global Creative and Kenny Wax. The show carries an age guidance of ten plus.
