I thought their performance was their best to date! They jam packed loads of energy on that stage! As usual, it attracted some negative comments on Twitter, but you can't please everyone. The racist comments were totally unwarranted. I'm all for people voicing their opinion and saying they personally didn't like it, but attacking the actresses is totally wrong.

Saw this last night with my daughter for the first time.It is a barnstormer of a show.A full-on pop concert vibe with a wonderfully witty,slightly raunchy set of songs.Easy 5 stars.Sat in E13/14...great seats on the stalls rake.Met 4 of the queens for pics and autographs after the show.A lovely stress-free and respectful stage door experience in the show foyer.

I'm really sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone know if the current cast will still be in London in October? Also, I'm assuming it's a different cast going on tour?
Thank you

Thank you I believe the cast have contracts until january. I have read somewhere that Grace leaves in August, not sure about Courtney or Vicki.
As for the tour, it has been confirmed that it will be a new cast.

It will be interesting to see how it works in some of the larger venues on tour given the Arts theatre is an intimate 350 capacity venue. I had thought the tour might be widened to smaller more provincial theatres, hopefully it will be in due course. Without a huge set, it could be accomodated in a lot of these venues even if it was for just a night or two's run.
Plus with show being only 75 minutes it's ideal for a taster to musical theatre for younger fans and everyone can be in the bar by 9pm.

Really need another trip to see this show. Just been listening to the cast album and it really is a catchy score 😍 So many musical scores these days I think are a bit too into themselves, and the creators forget that people just love/want a good melody, and I think this show succeeds with that for the most part!

Anyone else find it a bit odd that the Chicago Six cast keep their American accents?

No. The original uk cast haven’t slavishly recreated accents from the sixteenth century, nor are they using appropriate language of the time. Cheesy girl groups weren’t really ‘de rigeur’ then either. Why would it matter what accent they sing these made up words in? |

Do remember that the not all of his wives were British. They didn't form a girl group either. |

As others have said, I’d rather they used their own accents than butcher a British accent.
That said, and this is just my personal opinion, Don’t Lose Ur Head is so Lily Allen/Kate Nash in style that to my ear it just doesn’t sound quite right being sung in a non-London accent.

^In the London programme, each Queen has a detailed historical bio (part fact and part supposition), which includes a Queen-spiration which is basically which famous pop star has inspired each Queen.
When you pick apart the concept and structure of SIX it is totally absurd but great fun!

Thanks in advance. Pick up your Rosmersholm ticket before you go to Six and you should make it fine, Six is 75mins long so should be done by 7:15 and the Duke of York's (where Rosmersholm is) is literally a 3min walk away. If you haven't already booked for Six, I'd recommend booking a seat in the dress circle on either of the side aisles so you can get out as fast as possible. The Arts Theatre is small so you'll still have an amazing view in the dress circle. |

Thank you so much for your helpful and encouraging reply. No worries! Good that you're on an aisle so you should be able to get out of the theatre quickly, because there's only one door in/out of the stalls it can get bottlenecked easily so be ready so get out sharpish once the MegaSix has finished  |

Thank you so much for your helpful and encouraging reply. Yeah, you’ll be fine. Rukaya is right about getting out ASAP - the stairs get blocked quickly, but if you get your bag etc in hand during the megasix and run up the aisle as soon as the girls have taken their final bow and the band start the play out you’ll be fine. I’ve had to do it many a time to run for a train. Good luck! |

I like the idea of out of one show and straight into another - gives a whole new dimension to double show days.

Good performance, but for me it just doesn't work out of context. Anyone else feel the same? Based on the one off-performances I have seen, I have absolutely no desire to see the whole show. |
