The Choir of Man special performance will see the show collaborate with two community choirs on the 20th July. The two choirs are Pop Chorus based in Suffolk and Pop Voices in the West Midlands. The singers will join the cast on stage after the show to perform an arrangement of Sia’s Chandelier. Arranged by Jack Blume the musical supervisor of The Choir of Man. The song is featured in the production so the choir will hear the song in the context of the show before performing.
The Choir of Man was closed for refurbishing last year but has since reopened in March this year. It’s booking at the Arts Theatre until January 4th 2026. The show is set in a fictional pub and has a mix of well known pop and rock songs, spoken word monologues and choreography performed by multi-instrumentalist singers. Songs by Queen, Adele, Avicii and Sia are featured in the show.
The show was created by Andrew Kay and Nic Doodson who is also the director. Jack Blume is the musical supervisor and also made the orchestrations and vocal arrangements. The show was first performed in 2017 and toured internationally before transferring to the West End Arts theatre in 2021. It has now been seen by over 280,000 people.
From The Choirs
Anya Small, director of the Pop Voices Choir, said: “The Choir of Man show itself demonstrates the power of community and song in one and the choir are absolutely elated and excited, not only to see the show, but to be singing with the cast such a beautiful arrangement of “Chandelier.” I have seen the show numerous times and can’t wait to see the reaction of the choir when they hear the cast in full swing. It will be a real highlight of our choir experiences so far!”
Yula Andrews, director of Pop Chorus, added, “I’m very proud to say that I made the suggestion for us to approach The Choir Of Man about the possibility of having an entire performance to ourselves and then cheekily ask if we could sing with the cast! Anya and I have been friends for almost 20 years and love to collaborate on projects with our choirs.
“We are both passionate advocates of the benefits of singing in groups. We’re almost evangelical in our belief that everyone who wants to, should be able to have the opportunity to sing with others and experience the joy, friendship, sense of achievement and massive boost to wellbeing that it brings.”
