Touring musical to change Joplin's Memorial Hall into Irish pub

(From Connect2Culture)

The Choir Of Man will transform Joplin Memorial Hall into everyone’s favorite Irish pub – for one night only – on Tuesday, March 10, 7:30pm at Joplin Memorial Hall (212 W 8th St, Joplin, MO 64801).

This is the fourth and final performance in Connect2Culture’s 2019-2020 Curtains Up Series.

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 real, working pub that combines hair-raising harmonies, high-energy dance, and live percussion with 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 show you’ll ever attend!








One of the show’s producers, Nic Doodson states, “After a whirlwind kick-off US tour in 2018, the guys have spent the last months touring the UK and Australia and they are ready to bring this show back to American audiences! This concert is such a great time for all – whether it’s a ladies night, first date, guys night out or even a bachelorette party! So, grab your best mates and we’ll see you at the venue…the first pint is on us (seriously!)”

The Choir Of Man takes place in a working pub – also known as “The Jungle” – and the guys provide free beer to some audience members 15 minutes before the show! To make this happen, Connect2Culture has secured a local brewery partner in Indian Springs Brewing Company (ISBC), who has generously donated a keg of their beer to be served at The Jungle. ISBC brews their beer in rural McDonald County and self-distributes to their own taproom located on the Historic Square in Neosho, MO. A variety of ISBC brews will also be available for sale at the off-stage bar for patrons who don’t make it onstage or for those wanting another round.

This family-friendly performance exudes fun throughout and celebrates music with wide appeal including songs by Adele, Queen, Paul Simon, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more. The cast features world-class tap dancers, singers, and instrumentalists, ensuring that there is something for everyone in this joyous and uplifting show for all ages.

The Choir Of Man is a mug-smashing success from the creative minds of Andrew Kay (Soweto Gospel Choir, Noise Boys, Gobsmacked, and the award-winning North by Northwest) and Nic Doodson (The Magnets, Gobsmacked, and Noise Boys).

“A feast for the senses, Choir of Man will have you dancing down the aisles. Leave your worries in your coat and grab a pint!” – Broadway Baby
