SIX, by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, nominated for five 2019 OIivier Awards, including Best New Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design, is the phenomenon everyone's losing their head over.

The show's 2018 debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe hastened its West End transfer which opened in January 2019. The production is playing to sold out houses at the Arts Theatre and a year-long 33-venue UK tour starts at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford on Thursday 24th October.

And now the Queens are going global. The North American premiere of SIX at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre recently extended its record-breaking run to August. Meanwhile, further international voyages are in discussion for Canada, Japan, Australia, South Korea and China.
