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 set in a working pub that combines spirited harmonies, high-energy dance and foot-stomping choreography. The multi-talented 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. (But you already know that!) CHEERS!

“Pure Joy…An American in Paris is a TRIUMPH!” — New York Times In postwar Paris, romance is in the air and youthful optimism reigns. Gershwin’s soaring melodies are matched by gravity-defying dance as the world rediscovers the power of love in this breathtaking production. Hoping to start a new life, World War II veteran Jerry Mulligan chooses newly-liberated Paris as the place to make a name for himself as a painter.

But Jerry’s life becomes complicated when he meets Lise, a young Parisian shop girl with her own secret—and realizes he is not her only suitor. Winner of four Tony Awards® and inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, this exquisite production features your favorite Gershwin songs including “I Got Rhythm,” “Liza,” “‘S Wonderful,” “But Not for Me” and “Stairway to Paradise.”
