The Choir of Man arrived at MK Theatre and provided a night of pure joy, charm and excuse the pun; it’s probably the best jukebox musical in the world! The best traits of this musical are the aforementioned ingredient of charm and simplicity; I’ve never witnessed a live production that engaged with the audience so quickly as the Choir of Man. Even before the show started there was a tangible ambience of collectiveness. This was helped, as before the show even started, the bar on stage was open. It is an actual working bar and people are invited up to get a drink. The cast are already there, moving between the stage and the audience, chatting, singing, handing drinks out. With total ease an array of nine talented actors and supporting cast then sing, dance while sharing stories about friendship, community, and everyday life. The soundtrack blends familiar rock, pop, and folk songs with moments of spoken word and choreography, creating something that feels far more like a night out with friends than a traditional musical. As a result, the show is warm, funny, slightly rowdy, deeply sincere, yet so entertaining right up until last orders. The entire cast were superb, no weak links and a sense of collective spirit is emotionally evident. The vocals are clear and strong, the harmonies are tight and they are all playing a wide range of instruments as well. That’s impressive. The tempo cleverly moves with stunning tap-dancing routines, impressive solos and hilarious ad lib audience participation. Plus, the thought-provoking narrative between the live tunes is seamless throughout the production. I could go on, and on, but all I need to say is, if every pub was as welcoming and charming as The Choir of Man the world would be a lovely place. Order a round of tickets now as The Choir on Man, refreshes the parts other musicals cannot reach and is a show well worthy of raising a glass to. https://www.atgtickets.com/shows/the-choir-of-man/milton-keynes-theatre/

To Kill a Mockingbird arrived at MK Theatre with an engrossing production that provided a riveting night of top-class theatre. The story revolves around the fictional trial of Tom Robinson, a black cotton picker accused of the rape and beating of a white teenager in 1930s Alabama, and defended in court by idealist lawyer Atticus Finch. His patience is tested when he realises that the community all around him are hiding the truth behind a hideous crime. He remains calm throughout the trial, but he’s forever questioning the collective small-minded racist mentality of his neighbours. The content of this show is heavy, but the brilliance of this current production is the morally unnerving plot is superbly enlightened by some very comical moments. The staging perfectly reflects the narrative and cleverly makes set changes with ease that ensures the tempo of the play never wanes. This combined with atmospheric lighting design by Jennifer Tipton adapts the space for the many environments and varying levels of tension in the story. The entire cast were excellent, their timing, empathy and stage presence kept you engaged throughout this long play. Overall, armed with such a talented cast, a timeless script To Kill a Mockingbird is sadly more relevant today than it was when the acclaimed Harper Lee’s novel was published back in the early 1960s. Plays of this quality are rarely seen outside the West End, so don’t miss the opportunity to watch this engaging adaptation of a literary classic. https://www.atgtickets.com/shows/to-kill-a-mockingbird/milton-keynes-theatre/
