The full cast has been announced for The Choir of Man’s UK & Ireland tour, which opens at New Wimbledon Theatre and plays at Richmond Theatre in 2026.
Fresh from the West End and set in an on-stage pub called The Jungle, the cast of nine combine beautiful harmonies and foot-stomping singalongs with world class tap dancing and soulful storytelling.
The cast will feature Gustav Melbardis as Maestro, Oluwalonimi (Nimi) Owoyemi as Poet, Levi Tyrell Johnson as Hard Man, Ben Mabberley as Joker, Rob Godfrey as Beast, Jack Skelton as Handyman, Joshua Lloyd as Barman, Sam Walter as Romantic and Aaron Pottenger as Bore, with Sam Ebenezer, Jared Leathwood, Niall Woodson and Lewis Dragisic as Swings.
Featuring hits from artists such as Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns & Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry to name but a few, this uplifting celebration of community and friendship offers something for everyone – including free beer! This is feel-good, foot-stomping entertainment so good you’ll want to come back and see it again and again.
