3 Dec - 5 Jan - The Lowry, Salford
1 - 5 July 2020 Mayflower, Southampton
These are the only two tours dates I know of at the minute but perhaps there have been more announced that I'm just not aware of.

Aside from the two posted above, the only other venue I’ve seen announced so far is Rose Theatre Kingston - 12th-16th November

It's almost as if they don't want people to know about the tour isn't it?

Tell me more about this conspiracy theory of yours, I'm not very sold on the idea that their lack of formal announcement up until this point therefore means they're hoping people won't notice the tour even exists, but I can be persuaded by compelling evidence.

Is it part of a more extensive tour or are they just visiting those 3 venues?

I can see this going to New York, i.e.,Off-Broadway, but this won't and shouldn't play a Broadway house. It's not the type of show that would or should, not to mention that it's barely even 90 minutes. It's a brilliant production that needs a small house. I agree, so am still surprised it is visiting the 2300 seat Mayflower on tour! The Mayflower is my "local" and it swallows and destroys so many productions. Les Mis and Wicked fit it perfectly (bar the usual sound issues that plague the theatre, where the sound levels are NEVER EVER CORRECT, and yes I have complained). But small touring productions - The Railway Children, Chicago, and definitely Six - just get eaten alive. |

Sometimes it is very noticeable that the show is designed for a much smaller stage with big curtains to the side. I hope they prove me wrong! |

I’m quite surprised they’re playing the Festival. It is still quite a large theatre and most productions tend to close off the upper circle.

I was surprised by this too, but I guess if it's playing the Mayflower then I guess it would be expected to play a big theatre in Edinburgh. I think it would have been more suited to a space like the Pleasance. My guess it will also either play at Glasgow's Kings or Theatre Royal or Aberdeen His Majesty's. Althoguh I thought it worked well in the SEC Centre in Glasgow. |

Does anyone know if it’s possible to exchange Six tickets for another performance?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to exchange Six tickets for another performance? It depends on who you booked it with. If you booked with the box office via the websaite link or in person they may charge you an admin fee to change performance date. The 3rd party "Six Tickets" (which is a supplier called Ingresso) have different T&Cs. You'd need to contact whoever directly. If you let me know who you booked it with I can point you in the right direction. |

If they follow a similar staging we can see how they’ll upscale from the Arts to the Mayflower on tour..... how they sell that many seats each night is a different matter but the show looks great on that scale!

I have no doubt that they'll find a good way to fill these large stages, be it with set, lighting, projections, band, whatever. What I'm wondering though is how the loss of intimacy will affect the show - at the Arts, it's like you're part of the gang for 75 mins. From the back row of the Mayflower, it definitely won't feel like that...

Nice clip of the American Queens singing Six Wives on Chicago Shakespeare Theatre social media.

Meanwhile, The Bossy Collective has a show this weekend in NYC Bossy Collective- The Wives of Henry the Eighth - since it started in 2018, it may all be a coincidence - but the story of the wives has been told and retold - or perhaps Six is the inspiration. Or...well. They released a video clip of the first song. |

More tour dates announced
Interesting that it's only doing 4-5 days in most and then a full month in Salford over Christmas

Wow those are big venues. I worry that they won’t fill some of those, particularly the WMC and the Mayflower.
