Nic Doodson said, “The Choir of Man is a show all about being together and the power of community. Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredibly talented and hard-working actors and musicians and we’re delighted to welcome Conor and Danny back into our little pub. The Jungle is a place through which many actors have passed, and each had contributed their talents and stories to the fabric of our show so when actors return it feels in a way like they’re coming home.”
