The Broadway production of the musical 'Six' is set to close on January 3, 2027, concluding its engagement after approximately five years. The show, which reimagines Henry VIII's wives competing in a singing contest, commenced previews in February 2020 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Its run was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with performances resuming and an official opening on October 3, 2021.
Authored by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, 'Six' was recognized with the 2022 Tony Award for best original score. By December 2022, the production had successfully recouped its $5 million capitalization. Although attendance has decreased from its peak, playing at 50- to 60-percent capacity in spring, the show has achieved a notable run.
'Six' ranks as the 40th longest-running show in Broadway history and continues to thrive internationally. Productions are active in the West End, with tours in the U.K. and Australia, and upcoming U.S. national and Chinese tours. A Spanish-language version is also slated for Madrid this September. The musical features a rotating cast of six performers, each portraying a wife with solo numbers inspired by contemporary music artists. The current cast includes Khaila Wilcoxon, Chloe Tucker Caine, Natalie Paris, Olivia Donalson, Aimie Atkinson, and Stephanie Jae Park.
