THE CHOIR OF MAN Serves Up 90 Minutes of Pop

Review Summary: “The Choir of Man” at the Broadway Playhouse at Chicago’s Water Tower Place mall on Michigan Avenue is more boy band concert than Broadway musical. Featuring nine very energetic, vocally talented, male singers purported to be “regulars” at a traditional Irish Pub named “The Jungle,” that serves up 90 minutes of pop.

It is basically about 15 or so cover tunes written, recorded or popularized by Adele, Queen, Paul Simon, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and others that everyone will find enjoyable and most will find familiar.

The musical extravaganza is loosely narrated by Denis Grindel who introduces his pub mates providing a bit of backstory about each as a way of establishing the iconic stereotypical characters we have probably encountered in every tavern and public house in the world.
