The Choir of Man: Adelaide Fringe 2023 Review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars for an uplifting evening of beer, poetry and magical harmonies.
Do yourself a favour and see the Choir of Man – it’s an invitation into a place of safe haven, shared dreams, darn good fun and a celebration of life and music!
You may also wonder if you’ve stepped straight into an Irish pub complete with spontaneous sing-alongs, philosophical poetry and real beer except that the beer on tap is courtesy of Mr Cooper!
The Choir of Man is not just any choir, it is an insight into the lives, characters, troubles and relationships of a group of men from all different walks of life who gather to sing, talk, play cards and drink in this super-friendly pub. And the greatest thing about this pub is that everyone is invited! This includes the audience who are welcomed onto the stage before the show to grab a free beer. And, if you’re sitting near the stage during the show, chances are you might find yourself onstage with the cast enjoying a yarn, a drink and a serenade!
The music is divine! A mix of soulful and energetic songs handpicked to appeal to a crossover of generations. The chances are you’ll know most of the songs AND it won’t be long before you find yourself either singing along, tapping your feet or sloshing beer around in one hand while you revel in the amazingly beautiful harmonies.
A poetic narrator introduces the choir members and their stories are told through song! You’ll hear fun and joyous songs like Eagle-Eye Cherry’s “Save Tonight/Wake me Up”, The Proclaimer’s “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) and Rupert Holmes’s “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”. You’ll also be moved by a mesmerising rendition of Josh Groban’s ‘The Impossible Dream’ and Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ and you’ll definitely find your singing voice with a rousing version of John Farnham’s “You’re the Voice” complete with a distinctly Irish feel.
You’ll also have a good chuckle at a gentle version of Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s ‘Under the Bridge’ while the choir members are “peeing” in the lavatory! I mean, all that beer has to go somewhere, right?!
