Heard there were 12 mid-show ovations and even a few attempted mid-song Os. Wild."
Not surprised lol
Not Mack's final Get Down: (audio then video at 3:00 or so).

Tonight crowd is very enthusiastic as well but less wild. I don’t ever remember seeing a show before where the entire cast is replaced at one moment.
First "MegaSIX" with the new company:
How were our new queens tonight, Kathy?

I was working the early shift (I'm an usher there) so I only saw a small portion tonight and I was pretty busy with a full house and late seating, etc. They seemed very new, confident, excited and enthusiastic. I'm probably not the best person to ask, having the seen the OG's (I am estimating) almost 400 times since Feb 2020 pre and post shutdown. I think I will need to see the newbies more to get a real perspective.
The new cast made their national TV debut this morning, performing "What Child Is This?" (employing the melody of "Greensleeves", which plays a prominent role in the show). This arrangement is by Roberta Duchak, SIX's North American music supervisor. The Aragon Tour cast premiered the arrangement at the Boston Common Christmas tree lighting earlier in the month.
Here, alternate Aubrey Matalon is on for Howard, as Jensen is currently sidelined with the flu and expects to be back in the show towards the end of the week, at the earliest.

Just chiming in on this thread to say I won the lottery for last night's show, which was my first time seeing the new(ish) cast. All 6 principals were in and they were fantastic! The show is still in great shape :)

Not specifically Broadway-related, but does anyone have more information about casting for the Aragon Tour? That tour has only announced stops until July 30 in Portland - will there be a cast change after the Portland stop, or is the tour going to end at that point (with Portland being the last stop)? Or will some cast members be leaving sooner than Portland?
Hailee Kaleem Wright is out of the show until sometime in September per doctor’s orders.
Khaila Wilcoxon, who played Aragon in the first national touring company of SIX, will take over as a temporary replacement starting tonight.
Also, FWIW, the show is up on TKTS for tonight and tomorrow’s matinee.

Funny, I saw a playbill insert on 8th Avenue last night with Wilcoxon's bio/picture as I was walking, and didnt stop to read closely-- I wasnt sure if she was swinging in at Hadestown or SIX or something new.
Hope Wright is OK, she was solid when I saw her a few months ago.

Is this the first time the show has been on the TKTS booth?

It’s not. It was on TKTS a few times before the 2020 COVID shutdown.
Wilcoxon will depart on Monday. No word yet from Wright regarding a potential return on the 13th.
SIX has teased an upcoming singalong performance… I’m hearing it’s set for Monday, November 6 (as part of the Sixth of the Month series) and will be announced tomorrow, their second Broadway anniversary:

Is Hailee Kaleem Wright coming back? She missed a month, came back for a few shows but is out again for at least the last week or so.

Not sure with Hailee. She was off for an injury.
Currently Alternate Ayla is away from the show to do Gatsby so Cassie Silva is filling in as Alternate. Cassie has done several Aragon performances recently

Silva is universal alternate (ie shes also appearing on tour as needed). Marilyn Caserta, who was the universal alternate, has stepped in to replace Ayla (I don't know if thats permanent or not....presumably Ayla will proceed with Gatsby after Paper Mill).
Strange about Hailee. Really hope shes healing up. Quite a voice.
The current cast will play their final performance together on December 3, as will Holli'.

So Hailee remains out, and theyre not renewing her contract in December- curious if she comes back before then, or if they keep her throwing understudies on for her for the rest of her run...
The entire Aragon Tour principal cast will come to Broadway on December 5.
In addition, Wesley Carpenter and Sierra Fermin join as alternates.

Saw the Aragon tour when it was in Vegas and that group is great.
