Known across the globe as “the ultimate feel-good show,” The Choir Of Man offers up 90 minutes of indisputable joy March 11, 2020! It’s a party. It’s a concert. It’s a pint-filled good time set in a working pub that combines hair-raising harmonies, high-energy dance and live percussion with foot-stomping choreography. The multitalented cast of nine handsome blokes sings everything – pub tunes, folk, Broadway, classic rock – all to roof-raising heights. It’s the best singing, dancing, stomping, pub crawl of a concert you’ll ever attend! Cheers!

The season closes out March 28, 2020, with the Broadway magical sensation, “Finding Neverland.” You will believe in magic and miracles – and that anyone (regardless of age) can dream of flying!
