Based in a fictional pub called The Jungle, you are introduced to a group of men who have formed a mens pub choir, a bit different from the usual darts or football team. With each character having a completely different background to the other, you slowly realise that the building they inhabit each evening is something that bonds them in a way that allows them to lean on each other and open up in a way that they may never have been able to before. 

Upon entering the theatre you are thrown right into the throws of things. With a working bar on set, you are invited up to have drinks with the cast, mingle on stage, and really get into the celebratory spirit. Throughout the show there are opportunities for audience members to join the cast on stage, for drinks to be passed around, and for the audience to sing along, take photos and videos throughout. It feels like more of a celebration than a musical and completely blurs the lines between a concert and a musical. It's truly something completely different to what you have ever seen before in a show. 

What I think is special about The Choir of Man is the way that the characters are set up. Each having their own name rather than a stage name, but a nickname to give you an idea about they type of person they are. From the Hardman who might come across as a brute but is a softie at heart, to the Romantic who just wants to find true love, each character has a story to tell and a song to tie them to The Jungle. Leading the pack is the Poet, a true master of words that brings the group together in harmony. I've seen this show countless times with an array of cast, and can truly say that no one cast has been better than the other. With each cast member adding their own unique twist on the role they play.
