Six the Musical - Arts / Lyric / Vaudeville

Wonder if they’ll change some of the script/lyrics, some of the jokes are very UK-centric

I’m at the show tomorrow in Glasgow. Through my recommendation, two of my friends have also booked tickets and I’ll be going with them, which is great. I’m so glad this show has gained such success through word of mouth.

Apparently Grace will be on tomorrow so I’m excited. I want to see her as, well, anyone, but I’d miss any of the others if they were gone - Jaye’J’s Beyoncé style voice, Millie’s sass and style, Natalie’s belt, Alexia’s energy and personality, Aimie’s little riffs and runs and Maiya’s phone-stealing habits during the megamix. She hasn’t tweeted who she’ll be on for so I’m excited to be surprised!

Yeh but do they actually get taught it in SAT's in America anyway?

How much Tudor history is actually taught in America? I can't imagine it's much.

No, I don't think most high schools here do what I would call a good job of teaching history. This has many reasons, among which are challenges to the very idea of a history "canon," i.e., a focus on Europe and European-Americans at the expense of other demographic groups, and a focus on monarchs and generals as opposed to everyday life. My own view is that kids here should indeed learn a lot about the history of our own country (the U.S.) and about that of its closest ally (the U.K.), which gave rise - in modified form, of course - to our legal and political institutions. (Also, Tudor history is fun!!) And it's not as if today's American kids who aren't learning about the Tudors or the Glorious Revolution are gaining a particularly solid grounding in South American, African or Asian history, or the history of women's suffrage or the gay rights movement, so I view it as a lose-lose.

But boy, do I get into trouble when I say this sort of thing out loud!

Tonight’s show has been cancelled due to cast illness.

“Kenny Wax, Global Musicals and George Stiles, the producers of Six, are sorry to announce the cancellation of tonight’s performance due to cast illness. The remainder of the run is scheduled to go ahead as planned.”

I’m seeing the show this weekend, really hoping it goes ahead as I’ve been looking forward to it for ages!

I was made to listen to some of this on the way home from London today and wanted to rip my ears off at some of it. Lots of the backing tracks sound like they are from the kids programme ‘Lazy Town’. I realize that they are going for a synthesised, cheap to recreate band but it doesn’t do it many favours does it?

SON. Did you just diss Lazy Town? Do we need to settle this outside?

I was meant to see last night's show. I just wish I checked here before I left as I'd not received any email or anything so drove all the way there which takes about an hour only to be told the show had been cancelled. Still, not the end world. Exchanged my tickets for Saturday so hopefully no one's ill. I will check before I leave next time. Really looking forward to it anyway!

Okay, I may need to go to Glasgow today to see Renee. I just checked Ticketmaster and it says there's plenty of tickets left for tonight, but I'm not sure whether or not I can make it through there as time and money are very much in short supply.

I'm destined not to see this show. Tonight's show cancelled again! At least I found out before driving through this time.

Oh no that’s rubbish! Really sorry! Wonder what’s wrong this time cause it said they had definitely planned to go ahead with all remaining shows. I assume another queen is sick. They’re not having much luck.
