TAMPA, Fla. — Connor Going’s heading to work at "The Jungle" — he’s a poet and he’s needed at this pub.

His assignment?

What You Need To Know

  • On the Town visits The Choir of Man musical

  • It's at the Straz Center

  • Address: 1010 N. Macinnes Pl., Tampa

  • It's taking place through Dec. 10

“Sing some songs, play a few instruments, have a few beers, entertain the locals and have fun,” Going said.

Except this pub, “The Jungle,” is at the Straz Center in Tampa. And it’s the setting for The Choir of Man, a British musical.

The show originally debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, to accolades.

There’s singing, dancing and drinking.

I mean to say — the audience members get a beer — it’s a whole thing. They have a tap on the stage.

Going showed us his pre-show routine on his stage with a beer tap.

There’s a choreographed warmup and a stretch sequence — each seven minutes — and the entire cast takes part.

Then there are vocal exercises with piano harmonizing.

And finally — in wardrobe and makeup, Going explains his minimalist look.

“I guess since I am the poet, the sort of the neutral voice of the group, just a simple black jeans and white T-shirt,” Going said.

Going says the show’s first tour of the United States in 2018 was intense.

“Did 32 states over six months. That was a whirlwind. I don’t know what even happened,” Going said.

Here it’s practically a mini-residency — one place through Dec. 10.

“The bar, particularly in the UK, symbolizes a place of community where anyone, whoever you are, can come and be yourselves and have a good time and feel at home,” Going said. “And that’s what we hope the folks out here are gonna feel like.”
