The musical was created by Andrew Kay and Nic Doodson, who commented, “We’re delighted to extend the opening hours of The Choir of Man in the West End. Since first opening at the Arts Theatre in 2021, it’s come to be a real home for us and we love opening the doors to The Jungle, our onstage pub, and welcoming everyone in to share an evening of stories, song, and of course, a beer or two.
"The new company that will be the landlords of The Jungle are an incredible group of performers and we can’t wait for not only our regulars but also our new visitors to see them every night!“

The theatre has comfortable seats and good overall sight lines pretty much throughout however there are slight restrictions in the seats at the ends of Row J, which situated are behind pillars, and also rows M and N, which are slightly affected by the overhang from the Circle. Seats in the slips on the sides of the Circle also feature a slight restriction due to the angle.
The best seats in the theatre are located in the centre of rows B-H in the Stalls section and in the Circle in the centre of rows B-C which give a clear line of sight to see all the action on stage.
Value can be found in the slips seats in the Circle Slips which are regularly discounted, due to the side-on view of the stage. These can offer excellent value for money, particularly for seats 8-14, which sit in front of seats 1-7 and are angled towards the stage. These are benches rather than seats, but they are cushioned with a backrest, and although some leaning will be required the entire stage can be seen at a discount price which will suit bargain hunters looking on a budget looking for lastminute shows or cheap tickets to The Choir Of Man.
