The producers of the Olivier Award-nominated international phenomenon THE CHOIR OF MAN today release a brand-new farewell video, “Last Orders (For Now)”, as the company prepares to say goodbye to the show’s London home of nearly four years at the Arts Theatre, and looks ahead to its first-ever tour in 2026, which will take The Jungle to audiences across the UK and Ireland.

The show will play its final West End performance on 4 January 2026, with only a handful of single seats remaining for the final performances.

Last Orders (For Now) avaiable to watch here.

Since opening in October 2021, over 500,000 audience members have stepped inside The Jungle across more than 1,000 performances. Beloved for its uplifting celebration of community, connection and song, The Choir of Man has become one of the West End’s most joyful success stories, with many performances selling out and loyal audiences returning again and again.

The newly released farewell video, filmed throughout the Arts Theatre, captures the cast passing a pint through backstage corridors, foyers and balconies. Inspired by themes in the show and its connection with audiences, the script reflects on the memories, friendships, songs and stories that transformed the Arts Theatre into a home. But this is not “last orders”: as the video itself declares, The Choir of Man is simply packing up the pub and taking it on the road.

Following its final London performance, the show will embark on its inaugural UK and Ireland Tour, opening at New Wimbledon Theatre on 14 March and touring through December 2026. The 38-week tour will bring The Jungle to major cities and regional theatres across the UK and Ireland, with further dates to be announced – information and tickets www.thechoirofmanukietour.com.

Creator and director Nic Doodson said, “The Arts Theatre has been our London home for nearly four years, and it’s impossible to put into words what that has meant to us. The audiences who’ve laughed, sung and raised a pint with us night after night have made The Jungle more than a stage — they made it a family. While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, this isn’t last orders. It’s the start of our next chapter. We’re thrilled to be taking the show on a huge UK tour in 2026 and can’t wait to bring that same spirit of community to theatres across the country.”

Welcome to THE JUNGLE, the best pub in the world.

Here, an (extra)ordinary cast of nine guys combine beautiful harmonies and foot-stomping singalongs with first-rate tap dance and poetic meditations on the power of community.

Brimming with hits from artists such as Queen, Luther Vandross, Sia, Paul Simon, Adele, Guns & Roses, Avicii and Katy Perry to name but a few, this is a pub like no other!

An uplifting celebration of community and friendship with something for everyone – including free beer! Enjoy 90 minutes of feel-good, foot-stomping entertainment unlike anything else in the West End.

THE CHOIR OF MAN previously played three sell-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and multiple sold-out US and European tours. Following its last run at the Arts Theatre from October 2021 to April 2022, it received an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play and then went on to play in Coventry as part of the City of Culture Assembly Festival season and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show re-opened at the Arts Theatre in October 2022, and has continued to see many sold-out shows, with loyal audiences returning again and again. In 2023 the show announced partnerships with suicide prevention charity CALM (The Campaign Against Living Miserably), and in 2025 came together with Signature Brew as the show’s Official Alcohol-Free Beer Partner.
