About Choir of Man
Part pub, part gig, and all West End show, The Choir of Man features nine guys, a live band, and an interactive set that resembles your local boozer. All these elements combine to create an uplifting night of music, laughter, and age-appropriate pints. Expect foot-stomping hits, some heartwarming moments, and feelgood evening.
Top Tip from the KidRated Team:
Arrive early! As Olivia our 17year old K-Rater discovered, the cast often chats with the audience before the show starts. It’s a fun, relaxed way to break the ice and sets the tone for the night!
Is it suitable for younger kids?
Not really. The vibe is more pub concert than family matinee. Some lyrics and banter may go over little ones’ heads. Tweens and teens who love live music will enjoy the energy..
Yes. The Arts Theatre offers step-free access, accessible toilets, and support for patrons with additional needs. The show is loud and lively, so ear defenders might help noise-sensitive kids. Contact the theatre for relaxed performance dates.
Definitely! The music ranges from rock anthems to ballads, with a nice dollop of nostalgia. Grandparents who enjoy live gigs (and pubs) will love it – though it can be laod and rowdy at times.
Around 90 minutes, with no interval. Perfect for kids with shorter attention spans!
Yes – a limited number of audience members get served a beer at the start. It’s more a bit of theatre though, so don’t get your hopes up that you’ll be on freebies all night.
The Arts Theatre foyer and auditorium are accessible and there are designated wheelchair spaces in the stalls. Book early though, as spaces are limited.
As Olivia says in her review this is a “jukebox musical” and features everything from Adele through to Queen and Katy Perry, all performed live by the cast and band. Don’t worry if you don’t know the songs, the atmosphere will carry you along.
The theatre is just off Leicester Square. Leicester Square and Charing Cross stations are both a 5-minute walk. Loads of restaurants and cafés nearby for a pre-show bite.
Not during the show, but you can ‘before’ and ‘after’ – the stage set makes a brilliant backdrop for selfies.

I am a 9 year old who loves music and plays guitar. The cast mix on stage at the beginning with the audience and I met the guitarist who even gave me his plectrum. There is a poem that introduces the characters. They all play instruments and there’s a brilliant band too. I laughed a lot but it made me think about things too.
