What is The Choir of Man about?

The Choir of Man is set in an on-stage pub called The Jungle, described as the best pub in the world, where nine regulars form a pub choir. Through songs, spoken word, and humour, they share stories of friendship, love, loneliness, and mental health, creating an uplifting night that celebrates community and the feeling of belonging somewhere.

How long does the show last in Nottingham?

At the Theatre Royal Nottingham, the listed running time is approximately 2 hours 5 minutes including an interval. Doors usually open around an hour before the performance, giving you time to arrive, get a drink, and find your seat without rushing.

What is the age guidance for this production?

The age guidance in Nottingham is 10 years and over, and under 14s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. The show includes on-stage alcohol use and some adult themes in a realistic pub environment, but there is no swearing, making it suitable for many families with older children and teens.

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 highest honours in London theatre. It has also picked up awards at festivals such as Adelaide Fringe, including Best Music and Pick of the Fringe, which shows how strongly it connects with both critics and audiences.

What kind of music will I hear?

The show features live covers of popular songs from artists including Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns N’ Roses, Avicii, and Katy Perry. The nine performers sing in rich harmonies, play instruments on stage, and mix rock anthems, ballads, folk tunes, choral numbers, and musical theatre-style arrangements to keep the night varied and exciting.

Is there any special local involvement in the Nottingham run?

For the 2026 UK and Ireland tour, the producers have launched the Jungle Choir Community Project, which invites local choirs to take part in the opening night in each touring city. In Nottingham this means a local choir is expected to join the company on stage for the final moments of the show, adding an extra sense of community and hometown pride to the performance.

Is there audience interaction during the performance?

Yes, The Choir of Man is known for its relaxed, interactive feel, and the cast often talk directly to the audience and sometimes move through the stalls. At many performances a few audience members are invited onto the stage to sit at the working bar and share a drink, which helps the evening feel like a genuine visit to a friendly local pub.

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

You do not need to know anything in advance to enjoy The Choir of Man. The story is simple and clearly told through monologues and music, and even if you do not recognise every song, the energy, humour, and emotional moments make it very easy to follow and enjoy from start to finish.

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

To get cheaper tickets, look first at the earlier midweek performances rather than the busiest Friday or Saturday shows. Book as early as possible for the best choice of lower-priced seats, check if there are concessions for students, under 26s, seniors, or local residents, and consider going as a group to unlock group booking discounts that reduce the price per person.

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

Last-minute or same-day offers sometimes appear when there are unsold seats close to the performance, especially on quieter weeknights, so being flexible about your seat location can help you find a bargain. For good value, look at central seats a little further back in the stalls or near the front of the dress circle, and consider side or slightly restricted-view seats, which often cost less but still give a strong view and great atmosphere.
