Six the Musical - Arts / Lyric / Vaudeville

I know everyone keeps mentioning this, but they only have what 10 people?

Closer to Heaven had at least double that and managed ok.

I'm probably being unfair as I think I saw her very first performance as Cleves, it was very early on in her run.

What roles were they auditioning for the tour then ?

Where has this information come from? I'm now intrigued to find out who would have been leaving

Clearly Paris was on her way out, the amount of gigs she had booked around the place in the near (then) future pointed in that direction.

Standing room seems to have been made available at the back of the stalls for every performance upon reopening.

I suppose this will be sold first-come first-served at the box office. Oh won’t this turn into a bun fight!

All jokes aside, I guess it shows they’re willing to introduce stuff like this to boost revenue after Covid.

Some kind of Twitter furore between actors and fangirls about bootlegs.

Can't massively make head nor tail of it, but certainly there is some nutty behaviour around this show.

One one hand I see where the cast are coming from - I'd feel uncomfortable seeing unauthorised videos of myself on the internet with a comments feature that anyone can say anything on. But on the other hand, I feel like the whole situation is being blown out of proportion a bit - most people I know that actively watch bootlegs does it because they live abroad/far away from London or a tour venue and know they won't be able to afford to come to the actual theatre in terms of the travel and stuff, but would do anything to see the show in person if they were able to do so.

Not trying to justify bootlegging - it is illegal for a reason - but there are two reasonable sides to the argument in my opinion.

Not entirely unsympathetic, but the creatives might do well to remember that THEY opened the door by encouraging people to video the Megasix finale on their phones and then post it online, and those posted fan clips were instrumental in building the word of mouth that transformed it from a fringe show into a commercial hit.

I agree. I’ve never watched a bootleg of a show I haven’t already paid for and seen live. The only 2 I’ve ever watched all the way through are Six which I have paid to see 11 times and The Great Comet which I paid to see 8 times.

The quality is abysmal for the most part and they aren’t exactly entertaining,
but if there was a DVD or Blu-ray I’d purchase it. There isn’t so this is the only option if you’re in the mood and considering neither show is accessible atm I really don’t see a problem. I will definitely be paying to see Six again and would be at Great Comet in a heartbeat if it ever shows up again.

I don’t even usually watch clips or performances of shows I haven’t seen as nothing really captures to what they are going to be like anyways. I avoided Hamilton for years because I’d never seen anything from it that sold me on it, but then I finally caved and ended up seeing it 3 times in a month.
