Production photos and casting released for UK and Ireland tour of THE CHOIR OF MAN

Created by Nic Doodson and Andrew Kay and directed by Nic Doodson, The Choir of Man is a joyous, interactive show set in on-stage pub The Jungle, where nine ordinary yet extraordinary men share their stories and invite audiences to join in the cozy, uplifting world of this everyman pub, through foot-stomping song and dance numbers, world-class tap, and soulful storytelling. It features hit music from artists such as Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns & Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry.
