Six the Musical - Arts / Lyric / Vaudeville

Oh sorry, I thought they were in BB

I think it’s need an operator like Trafalgar or ATG to buy it in order to proceed with redevelopment

How would they change and redevelop the theatre? Isn’t it in quite a small property?

I think they would shoot themselves in the foot by moving to a bigger theatre. It's selling very well, but it's not that difficult to get tickets when you are prepared to book 2-3 months ahead. If it moved to a bigger West End theatre, they would incur higher costs, but I don't think it would automatically sell out and offset these costs. I haven't actuall seen it (yet), but based on what I know from the show and having been inside the Arts Theatre, I think the intimacy there is perfectly suited to this kind of show and contributes to a special atmosphere (which, I think, makes fans want to return again and again).

I really hope they have the sense to keep it the little cult hit it has become and not try to milk it for what it's worth. Personally I think the Broadway move is suicidal. Not just moving to a much bigger theatre, but also offering a flimsy 75-minute concert-like show at Broadway prices. This has already killed so many inventive new shows that moved from Off-Broadway.

^ It’s funny that you keep comparing Six to CFA. The difference here though is that CFA is a musical with a plot and multirole played in the best form I’ve personally ever seen. There’s no denying that Six is great fun, but it’s essentially six girls parodying Tudor history behind mic stands, most people spending more than £35 on a ticket will feel robbed.

I really hope this doesn't move to a bigger theatre. It would really lessen it's run I think, the way it's going currently I could see it staying a nice few years as a cult WE show.

Would be fun to see this show in an arena, or concert hall, but doubt it will happen soon.

If the show is selling out or getting near to most nights then moving to a bigger theatre is a no brainer IMO.

There would be bigger overheads but with a 9/10 person ensemble including the understudies/alternates and 4 musicians there isn't a big company and going even to a 500 to 600 capacity theatre would give a load of extra tickets. They could even go to the normal 8 show per week run and still have over 1,000 extra seats per week available.

It could probably have a healthy run in a 500-600 seat theatre (ie. one which is a little bit bigger than the Arts) - but it becomes a risk above that IMO. To be honest, the only reason I can see it moving is if they need to do some work to the Arts theatre.

Just received this email from TodayTix:

We are writing to you to make you aware of recent changes made to our terms and conditions in relation to the SIX Rush scheme at TodayTix. Please see the relevant changes below.

Any users found to have purchased more than this limit may have their order cancelled at the sole discretion of TodayTix.

Haha, loads of people on Twitter sulking about this!I mean, I love SiX and would be happy to go maybe once a fortnight if I could, but realistically once a month is often enough to see any favourite show (unless it's closing soon)

I would generally agree but if you are someone who visits London ofr a week once in 3 months you may wish to visit your fave show a couple of times in a week. Luckily SIX isn't THAT show for me but I would be gutted if they implement this rule for all of the other shows.

Yes that's true, I was only thinking from my own situation of having lived in London all my life!
But I assume for most shows that have rush, you'd be lucky to get them twice in one week anyway (if you were trying in the normal way and not using a cheat method)
