Six the Musical - Arts / Lyric / Vaudeville

Me too ... Been chomping at the bit for a megasix recording since forever

I had a listen to it briefly before heading to bed last night, and on my way to work this morning, and what i heard was really good! I'm really glad that they've captured the original Broadway cast for this, it sounds great!

Can't wait to listen to it all!

I’m enjoying the new album so far and I’m glad that they’ve pretty much left the vocals untouched rather than try and “polish” them in post production.
The only downside is that they’ve left out some of the dialogue, including K Howard’s iconic roasting of the other queens.

Finally seeing this today - won the TodayTix Rush.

…yet still drags somehow in ‘Heart of Stone’ & ‘Get Down’ for me. Both could be a verse shorter and still get their points across.

Crikey, have they grown new heads?!

This is pretty amazing when you think about it - a hugely successful musical with productions all over the world is filming a pro-shot for release. 


Six the Musical to Be Filmed for Release With Original Cast

Agreed. I think the original West End cast are very romanticised. It’s odd that the cast haven’t performed the show regularly together for a number years get to do the performance that is forever on film.

Possibly because unlike most original West End casts - there's nothing for fans to keep/watch with them performing (apart from illegal bootlegs).  The original cast recording was from the initial cast who only did a handful of performances.  At least fans of the original West End cast will have this memory of them to keep (assuming it's released for download/DVD eventually).

Edit: Not saying I agree with it, just thinking about why they've chosen the original cast.

I get your point but, there are a lot of casts that don't even get 1 London cast recording and the Broadway one is sold instead, it just seems that the original Six cast get a lot more than others do.


The current cast must think what do we need to do to get more than fan recognition for our time in the show.

I was responding to Figaro saying "what do you mean" about them growing new heads...it falls a bit flat when you have to explain it!

I am sad we don't get to see Christina Modestou, studio cast Boleyn. I saw one of those Monday night shows at the arts with the studio cast and I distinctly remember thinking after her number "if this gets a cast recording this is the number that will be the big hit". She was fantastic and her wit really comes through in a way I assume they don't direct the Boleyns to have anymore, instead favoring the modern insta-tiktok girl vibe which is... fine I guess.
