Currently on the Norwegian Encore, an NCL cruise ship, is the show The Choir of Man. There's a cast currently performing the show in London, and the cast on the cruise ship will begin touring the USA in January, starting in Logan UT.
The performance has a pre show, a gradual introduction to the cast as they enter the English pub and intermingle with activities and so forth. There's also a point where free beer is given to the audience, which made many people quite happy. For those of us that don't drink there's no pressure.
Choir of Man is a celebration of the pub, the coming together of different individuals to commune, interact, and do pub like things. Okay, I'm a gal from Utah! I have been to a couple English pubs in various cities throughout the UK, but it was to get a really good meal. Pub food is seriously delicious.
From the website: "Imagine the greatest pub gig you’ve ever been to and multiply it by 10 and you’ll still be nowhere near the fun that this show exudes throughout. Featuring pub tunes, folk, rock, choral and Broadway numbers, the 9 guys showcase music that has wide appeal. The cast features world class tap dancers, poets, instrumentalists and singers, ensuring that there is something for everyone in this joyous and uplifting show for all ages. Not only is the concert set in a pub, but it has a real working bar from which the cast will pull pints and invite audience members to get up close and personal with the show – witnessing the action from chairs and tables among the guys – come ready to drink in the action!"
The show is really entertaining. The singing great. The instrumentalist seriously talented. And there's fun dancing. I loved the performance so much that I saw it twice. My favorite tunes were Teenage Dream and Chandelier. All the songs are great. There's an album on Spotify if you want to have a listen.
Oh, and that bathroom song.... :\ Heh......... .... .... ....... .. ...... .....
