I finally got to see Six on the West End, having seen the show once before on the tour and falling in love with it. When I found out that my local theatre was hosting the show back in November, I booked impulsive last-minute tickets (having no idea what the show was about, nor knowing any of the songs in context), and I came out that evening with my expectations completely surpassed . It was my first post-lockdown show and it completely rekindled my love for musical theatre; suffice to say, ever since then I had been hoping to see the show again West End, and it was certainly worth waiting for.
I managed to get rush tickets for £25 for me and my mum (who also loves the show, and has seen it 3 times now) to the 8pm performance on Wednesday, which meant that we were sat in row A of the stalls: we knew that row AZ was the front row upon booking, but many of the people sat around us obviously didn't as they were complaining about not being at the front of the theatre.
We had Rachel Rawlinson on as Catherine Howard but, other than that, it was the usual West End cast.
The performance was amazing, although dampened slightly by some of the audience members around us who were singing and dancing very loudly around us; I'm pretty sure that they even got some looks directed at them from the Queens, because of how loud they were being throughout the performance. During Haus of Holbein, they even pulled out their own glasses and began adding in all of the dialogue between each other, which was frustratingly just out of time with what was happening onstage. The two girls (who were probably around the same age as me, so 17 or so), also got into a heated applaud rivalry with the girl sat behind me (probably aged 10 or 11) who was on holiday from America with her family and was ecstatic before the show about finally being able to see it, causing the applaud to be extended into the rest of the show with them wanting to 'beat' the little girl. Not so much annoying, more immature, in my opinion. I'm all for enjoying myself at a show, and applauding and whooping whilst everyone else is, but not at the detriment to the rest of the show or the other audience members around me.
Sorry for the little rant, but in all of the shows that I've been to it's never been as blatant as those girls were, which is probably what surprised me the most.

Could anyone clear something up for me? I was just going through my list of West End theatres that I've visited (nearly ticked them all off now!) and I'm now confused over where I saw Six. I saw it in Nov 2021 and according to all reports it was at the Vaudeville by then. But I remember distinctly queuing around the side of the Lyric because they didn't let us in until 5 mins before th show start, so the queue was massive. Did it go back there briefly?

It opened at the Lyric late November/early December 2020 just after we came out of another lockdown and then rapidly shut down a week later when we went straight back into lockdown, then played the Lyric again from May 2021 to the end of August before taking a month’s break to move to the Vaudeville where it opened at the end of September. |

Hmm, confusing. I will have to get to the bottom of this now.

I remember distinctly queuing around the side of the Lyric 'Tis indeed a mystery. Both the Lyric and Vaudeville are landlocked, as it were. Neither is on a corner. |

The Lyric is on a corner, it goes down the side street past McDonalds. Turns out I didn't realise how close together my two visits were. I've been once to each place. |

We get it doll you don't like the show, but do you really need to keep popping in every 3 pages or so to remind us? I hate Phantom and Cats and Les Mis, but I don't go and threadcrap on them on a regular basis...that would be annoying  Lol 😂. My last post in this thread was October 21 and that was about a correction to the title. My last post in the tour thread, September 20 and that was a link to to our tickets. As you were 🙂 Mhmm... That defence only works if you don't slag it off in every other thread on the forum... |

Your allegiance to this show is admirable but please stop trying to squash opposing views. |

Bit late to the party, but came across a Cell Block Tango mashup from the Chicago cast (sorry, can't find the US thread in the search function):

Everyone except Monique has posted on Instagram to say they're leaving at cast change - October 15th. I'm not sure if that means if Monique is staying, or if she just hasn't posted on IG today, but it's a massive cast change.

I wonder who will be cast?! I am expecting some bigger names to perhaps bring back some of the hype SIX has lost?

Monique has just posted she's also leaving (in fact, she's leaving a week early for her next venture - Moulin Rouge maybe?) - so it will be a full cast change.

A lot of the announcements were quite cold and blunt…
Are they glad to be leaving or were they not expecting to be let go?
