Will audiences be allowed to film the Six MEGASIX on broadway?

We'll find out in February. But even if they allow during the first few preview performances, they can always revoke that ability and try to enforce it for those who don't know.

This is interesting. I filmed part of "Screech Out" at the end of "Come From Away" and no one stopped me. I have heard that people used to film the Moulin Rouge encore but they stopped allowing it I think. I guess it depends on the show...

I think he only stepped in because some of the queens/alternates were sick.

All the Broadway alternates are female. If they were male, I wouldn't be v happy considering the show is all about feminism.

I really hope we can record the megasix, tho!!

Thank you for this! For some reason I thought they didn’t allow in Edmonton.

I want to add to this for anyone who doesn't know because I think this story is just great.

The London West End cast went through a period where so many queens and alternate queens were getting sick that they were recruiting back previous Six queens to step in on nights when they simply ran out of people. On the night in this video, Aragon, Boleyn and K Howard are the only main cast queens. Jane Seymour is one of the alternates. Cleves is Genesis Lynea who was Cleves in the first run of the show and on the recording, but not part of the West End cast. (Extra delightful that she's next to her partner Aimie Atkinson - they each have a strong insta game for anyone interested, and the most adorable dogs). And then there's Toby as Parr! What a night.

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for B'way MegaSixes. It's such an important marketing tool, I hope they find a way to make it work.

my question is.... why would one want to ?

and of course why is this considered a musical? it's a concert performance!

The nights I have lost hors in watching the many different MegaSixs.... such sweet hours. I love the mega six. I hesitate to see but I think I might have seen every one posted on YouTube and instanta at least a few times lol.

in general, US or otherwise, the show has gained hype due to the filmed megasix (and well.. Tim Tok). Not JUST because of that, but it’s definitely a big component

Yes I'm sure the 12 people that searchfor it on youtube each day had a much bigger impact on sales than the 9+million viewers who saw them on Britain's got Talent...

WTF is a TimTok?"

I think it was a typo or autocorrect for TikTok, which is an online social media app with a decent sized Broadway side (or at least people who hear the songs, not knowing what they're from). A part of "Don't Lose Ur Head" is popular as background music for videos made on TikTok, as is "The Whole Being Dead Thing" from Beetlejuice and "Big Fun" from Heathers. It might not seem like a huge deal, but my chorus class is trying to decide which Broadway show to see for their annual trip to the city, and this was an ACTUAL CONVERSATION between two kids in the class (let's call them Catherine and Anna, for theming purposes):

Catherine: Oh, we've gotta go see Six!

(Some of the class agrees with her)

Anna: What's Six?

Catherine: Oh, it's the TikTok show. It's - "I'll think about it, maybe - XO, baby -"

Anna: Oh, yeah, we HAVE to see that show.

(I think I was the only person who suggested we see Flying Over Sunset.)

Anyway.. you’re acting like I’m bashing the show lmao. It’s one of my top 5 of all time, it’s not like I said anything bad."

Sorry I didn’t mean to come off like I was bashing you, I wasn’t! I was just pointing out the difference in the way the show is now compared to what it was when it first opened & that it didn’t really take off huge here until after the BGT performance.


The UK show itself is much slicker now compared to when it first opened. It’s More one brand’ and has better choreography, some of the jokes are moved around and smoothed over and I’m sure that is because of all the changes that came out of doing the US version.

im sure social media played a big part especially in the US (I honesty don’t know what a TikTok/TimTok is...I’m nearly 50 ffs) but it really didn’t seem to do that much for them here in the UK beyond its original fandom until it’s big tv performances.

My only concern with this is that if they allow it, people will think it's the norm at all Broadway shows. I think it was smart when they decided to not allow people to do it. There's enough out there, and I understand it's not the same actors for all of them, but still. It's not their ONLY marketing tool. If they specifically say it's okay, people should be aware that it's specific to THIS show, not ALL shows (and spare me the lecture about how 'we know how you feel about recording'.)
