Six the Musical - Arts / Lyric / Vaudeville

Ten minutes difference!!! Ooooooooooh! Hahahaha.... The fact is it’s FABULOUS and you feel satisfied and that you’ve seen a full quality 9/10 show. Soooooo many shows on broadway have been 7/10 over the past 2/3 years and that’s why they haven’t survived. I think SIX is going to be a BIG FAT HIT. I also think the ARTS theatre in London is too small for it. Broadway here we commmeeee!!!!

They're not going to hire that many performers for 10-12 shows a week. I also highly doubt the musicians and stagehand unions would be happy.

I DO think that they could go the Hedwig route and not do any matinees. 7 and 10 p.m. sounds good to me.

But it is only a 70 minute show. not like 2hr 30min, which would be more unreasonable to do more than 8 shows.

Well caught this the other night- rather late to the party. Managed to get on the returns list and got a lovely seat, slap bang in the middle of row f. I won't lie judging from what I had seen, especially The One Show, I thought I would cringe the whole way through this show. My god was I wrong. After the first song, I was in. I smiled and laughed throughout. And sadly it was over in a flash.

Every single one of the queens could sing, and all amazingly. Not one of them gave less than 100%

Courtney Stapleton was great as Catherine Aragon- really enjoyed her song 'No Way. A great way to ease into things.

Next was Millie O'Connel; who after watching the One Show performance I thought I wouldn't enjoy. Anne Boylen deffo takes a lot of inspiration from Kate Nash & Lily Allen!!! But boy was I wrong. Her song is so funny, and Jesus she has great comedic timing. Loved the innuendos throughout, that would've slipped over the kids' heads.

Natalie Paris was on as Jane Seymour. She has a stunning voice; her song is highly emotional and it's nice to take a breather at this stage. What has she done before this, I am really sure I've seen her singing somewhere else- maybe even outside of theatreland. It's been bugging me for days!

Then there was Alexia Mcintosh as Anne of Cleves. Oh my lord. Her song was hilarious- and her facial expressions were next level! She was sassy, and I really didn't expect that from her song. One of my favs from the night.

Following her was Vicki Manser. A great performer, with a great voice, and an even lovelier person. Butt out of all the songs I felt hers was the weakest. I didn't really find it funny, and couldn't really grasp what she was on about! Men taking advantage of her is what I gathered, and really wasn't expecting a song on the whole subject! Its weakness is highlighted further as it follows one of the funniest songs in the whole show!

And they really did save the best till last, wow. Maiya Quinnsah-Breed. What more can I say? Her song was by far my favourite, even though I enjoyed all of them. The style was very similar to that to Tori Kelly, Solange and Alicia Keys. All of those artists I listen to, so no wonder it was my favourite. Her voice! Her voice is unreal- the runs and riffs. Just the whole song + her voice made for an extremely enjoyable final Queen song. And then it got better with the Queens doing a reprise of the song!!! Cannot wait to see what she does next, I will definately be watching eargerly. Would love a whole album of her beautiful voice!

The set was nice- fitted the concert theme. And was really impressed by how much they managed to do with lighting. Again fitting for a concert, but really did change the setting, and feel of every song!

The atmosphere was great, and I would love to see this run and run. Keeping it in the Arts will do this I imagine. It's selling out every night, so why jeopardize it by adding another 400+ seats to sell every night? The arts is far from beautiful and pristine, but it definitely works for this show. I think its issues would be heightened if this show had an interval. You're pushed into the auditorium, and shuffle out. Everyone around me loved it, one woman at least 60+ said she wished she could return tomorrow, as it's the best thing she'd seen!

Without a doubt will be doing all I can to see Maiya again before she leaves. This show lives up to the hype and then some. I don't get what you couldn't love about it. A great 75 minutes packed full of fun and killer vocals!

Easily 5*

Up there with Come From Away and Death of a Salesman, with the best things I've seen this year!

And now Sydney, Australia for Summer 2020. Assuming Six doesn't quickly flop on Broadway, that's at least four casts (London, NYC, Chicago, Sydney) in Summer 2020.

Oops, my bad. I read "Summer" and thought "Summer" but not "summer in Australia" - so the Sydney run starts in January.  Sydney!

They really are taking over the world!

It's a lot, very fast and all in one go. I do worry. Brilliant as all this news is.

Right above you.

With such a small theatre and really limited rush tickets, you might be better off booking something in advance.

Tour cast should be announced soon, given that they start in October and rehearsals should begin soon!

Cherelle Jay (no roles mentioned), Zara Macintosh (Aragon/Howard) and Hana Stewart (Seymour/Parr) will be new alternates.

Shenikah McFarlane is only there until October, so the three girls listed above will replace Courtney, Vicki and Shenikah.

Hana - Seymour/Parr
Cherelle - Boleyn/Cleves
Zara - Aragon/Howard

I assume Shenikah is only there temporarily or will be a tour alternate just due to her short window.
