THE CHOIR OF MAN Comes to Van Wezel

THE CHOIR OF MAN returns to the US for their second North American tour, making their Sarasota debut on Tuesday, March 17 at 8 p.m. Known across the globe as "the ultimate-feel good show," THE CHOIR OF MAN offers up 90 minutes of indisputable joy! It's a party. It's a concert. It's a pint-filled good time that combines hair-raising harmonies, high-energy dance and foot-stomping choreography. The multi-talented cast of nine handsome blokes sings everything - pub tunes, pop, Broadway, classic rock - all to roof-raising heights. It's the best singing, dancing, stomping, concert pub-crawl you'll ever attend.

This is not your average jukebox musical! Featuring songs by Adele, Queen, Paul Simon, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more, these musical mates belt out songs you love in a brand-new way. Bring your mom, bring your kids, bring your best friends or bring your partner, because there's truly something for everyone in this joyous and uplifting show for all ages.
