West End hit The Choir of Man will be coming to Swindon.

The cast will be performing at Wyvern Theatre as part of the show's first-ever UK and Ireland tour, which includes a stop in Swindon in September.

The producers have also announced the Jungle Choir Community Project, inviting local choirs to participate in the opening night of the show in every touring town and city.

Local choirs will be given discounted tickets and rehearsal materials, enabling them to join in the final moments of the show.

The project aims to create a shared celebration of music and community.

Set in the on-stage pub The Jungle, The Choir of Man combines harmonious singing, lively singalongs, tap dance, and storytelling.

The musical features works from stars such as Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Katy Perry, and more.

The multi-talented cast includes Gustav Melbardis as Maestro, Oluwalonimi Owoyemi as Poet, and Levi Tyrell Johnson as Hard Man, among others.

The Choir of Man, directed by Nic Doodson, began at the Arts Theatre in 2021.

It has played sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House, along with several tours around the USA and Europe, earning an Olivier Award nomination.
