Frequently Asked Questions

When is The Choir of Man in Leicester?

The Choir of Man is in Leicester from Tuesday 7 July to Saturday 11 July 2026 at Curve Leicester, with evening performances and some additional matinees during the run.

Where in Leicester is the show performed?

The musical is performed at Curve Leicester in the city’s Cultural Quarter, a modern theatre with a flexible auditorium and raked seating. The space is designed so that most seats have a good view, which helps the on-stage pub setting feel close and immersive.

What is The Choir of Man about?

The Choir of Man is set in a working pub called The Jungle, proudly described as the best pub in the world, where nine regulars form a pub choir. Through popular songs, spoken word pieces, and humour, they share stories of friendship, love, loneliness, and men’s mental health, creating a feel-good celebration of community and belonging.

How long does the show last in Leicester?

The show is usually around 90 minutes to 2 hours long depending on the production, with many descriptions calling it a 90-minute, high-energy celebration of music and friendship. In Leicester it is programmed as a standard-length evening show, so you can expect roughly one and a half to two hours including any interval.

What is the age guidance for this production?

The recommended age for The Choir of Man is generally 6+ with parental discretion, as used for the West End run, and the touring production often suggests around 10+ because of the pub setting. There is no strong swearing or explicit content, but there is on-stage alcohol and a lively, noisy atmosphere, so it is best suited to older children and teenagers who are comfortable with that environment.

Has The Choir of Man won or been nominated for any awards?

The Choir of Man has been nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play, one of the top honours in London theatre. It has also won festival awards including Best Music and Pick of the Fringe at the Adelaide Fringe, and has become a worldwide hit with sold-out runs in multiple countries.

What kind of music will I hear in the show?

The show features live covers of well-known songs by artists such as Queen, Adele, Guns N’ Roses, Katy Perry, Paul Simon, Sia, Avicii, and Luther Vandross. The nine performers sing in rich harmonies, play instruments on stage, and mix rock anthems, power ballads, folk tunes, choral numbers, and musical theatre-style arrangements into one big pub gig.

What is the atmosphere like at Curve Leicester for this show?

Curve’s modern design and open foyer space suit The Choir of Man’s relaxed, welcoming style, helping the theatre feel more like a local hangout than a formal venue. Inside the auditorium, the combination of lighting, live band, and audience interaction creates an energetic, concert-like feel rather than a traditional, quiet musical.

Is there audience interaction during the performance?

Yes, The Choir of Man is known for its interactive, informal approach, with cast members often talking directly to the audience and sometimes moving through the seating areas. At many performances a small number of audience members are invited onto the stage to sit at the working bar and share a drink, which adds to the feeling that you are part of the pub rather than just watching it.

Do I need to know the story or songs before going?

You do not need any prior knowledge to enjoy The Choir of Man. The story is straightforward and is explained clearly through monologues and music, and even if you do not already know the songs, the arrangements are catchy and emotional enough that you can simply relax and enjoy the ride.

How can I get cheap tickets for The Choir of Man in Leicester?

To get cheaper tickets, start by looking at midweek performances early in the run, as Tuesday, Wednesday, and sometimes Thursday evenings are often cheaper than Friday and Saturday. Book as early as possible to access lower starting prices, choose seats a little further back or higher up rather than premium front stalls, and check for concessions for students, under 26s, seniors, and local residents.

Are there last-minute or same-day ticket deals, and which seats offer the best value?

Last-minute or same-day offers can appear if there are unsold seats, especially on quieter midweek dates, so being flexible about where you sit can help you find a bargain. For good value, look at central seats further back in the main seating block or side seats with a slightly angled view, which often cost less than premium positions but still give a clear view and a great atmosphere.
