I saw this on Tuesday and loved it. I had no idea what I was in for, but after the 2nd song, I was sold. Had such a blast. My friend won the lottery and received box C, seats 3 and 4 (2nd row of the last box on the left). The show reminded me of Hamilton (the history, some of the tunes and some of the fast lyrics) + a Britney Spears (or the like) mash up! It was a fun night out.

Why is this show so understudy-prone?

They had much-discussed issues in prior runs, and it's obviously unusual for so many people to go on during previews on Broadway.

For something that sounds like an hour-long concert it sounds a bit surprising.

Interesting - I thought Mallory was the first cover for Parr?

This was my understanding of the covers, curious if anyone has more up-to-date info
Nicole - Aragon, Cleves
Courtney - Boleyn, Howard
Mallory - Seymour, Parr"

Mallory was on all last week, maybe giving her a break? I don't think the order is set in stone."

It might also have to do what costumes are available since the new alternate costumes aren't ready yet (which kinds of blows my mind, to be honest, haha, but it is still previews).

Something to do with the way the music is written (pop heavy score), and the energy needed to sell it, 8 times a week? It’s not written in a traditional musical theatre way, so I can imagine it’s not easy on the chords. Most big musicians have a few days off between concerts.

When I went none of the queens came out. Granted it was a Sunday matinee so I wasn’t really surprised.

Stage doored this past Sunday evening. All six came out (Nicole, Andrea, Mallory, Britt, Sam, Anna). Security guard said they would come out but wouldn't be posing for photos since it was end of a long week and they wanted to get home. We could take pics of them signing just not ask for them to pose for selfies. It took about 25 minutes for them to come out and they all pretty much came out at once.

About to read through the thread because I'm EXTREMELY curious what y'all thought about this.

I surprisingly liked the show. The more I think about it, the more I appreciate it. The music was corny imo, but it does the job and I'm glad something like this is on Broadway.

Abby Mueller's voice is TREMENDOUS. Her song was by far the best. The other ladies did the best they could, with those pop songs trying so hard to be cool.

I can't help but wonder how this will be looked at for the Tonys. Like, I wonder if traditional voters will even see it as a true musical. I think it proves itself as such towards the end, but most of it is a full on concert. Clever show tbh.

Also, standing room for this show is a true steal. $45, perfect view, and the show is only 80 minutes. Do it if you haven't seen the show.

Totally agree about Abby. I left thinking so much more about her than the others. The talent in the Mueller family is astounding.

Question: I was just watching this video of all the current casts of Six from across the world sing the opening number. At the end some fan videos are included, and Jerry Mitchell appears singing along. Does anyone know if he worked on the Broadway production? I wouldn't be surprised if with this being a relatively new and young production team if he supervised the transfer.

Has anyone gotten their presale code yet?

[rkade21]

Posted: 5/6/21 at 9:23am

a theater co employee said in another forum yesterday - Ham/Wicked/TLK Sept 14 and Six Sept 17 so this seems to confirm their info.

I haven’t received my presale access code for six yet though!

sixonbroadway.com/firstacess (the page you're directed to in order to sign up for presale) just started returning a 404 page not found error. Strange. /firstaccess.php still works, though.

Glad this one is officially opening at long last.

I would expect mixed to positive reviews overall for this one, with near-universal praise for the score and individual performances, but criticism for the weak book, running time, and shallow feminist message. Jesse Green will give another rave.

The show IMO is onto something but does not quite get there... just when it seems to hit its stride for a moment, it backs off. SIX could certainly benefit from 10-15 minutes of added material (perhaps give Henry a "You'll Be Back" moment and have the six diss him in person?). The lighting and sound design were also question marks. I have seen numerous pop concerts with more intense design than SIX and that let me down. I was kind of expecting "The Duel"-esque strobe lights during the few short electronica choruses of "...Holbein" after I first heard it (before the dating app sequence) but it was not to be. Also, had I not heard the original concept album beforehand, I probably wouldn't have understood most of what they were singing due to over-amplification from the small band. 

I give this one 3/5, but will lean slightly negative because it does not quite live up to the hype it has received the last couple of years. However, it is one of the best shows of this last abbreviated season.
