"The Choir of Man," a jukebox musical that has drawn crowds in the UK and Australia, comes to the Woori Investment Bank Hall at NOL Theater Daehangno in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The Korean premiere, produced by Seensee Company, opens on 18 September and runs through 3 January 2027. The show lasts 1 hour 40 minutes, with evening performances at 8 p.m. from Tuesday to Friday and two shows on Saturday and Sunday, at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. A handful of dates depart from that timetable — 24 and 25 September have only the 6 p.m. show, and there is no performance on 6 October — so it is worth checking the schedule before booking.
The premiere cast was chosen over five rounds of auditions. The creative team assessed movement, sense of rhythm, improvisation and ensemble chemistry alongside acting and singing, and in the final round the shortlisted performers sang a cappella together so their voices could be heard as a group. Nineteen were cast, including Lee Choong-joo, Kim Ji-chul, Lim Jun-hyuk, Shin Eun-chong, Son Jin-wook, Jung Chan-young and Kang Yoon-seok.
