Final Casting Announced For The Return Of SIX To The West End

Final casting is announced today for the return of SIX, the hit musical by recent Cambridge grads Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. SIX returns to the Arts Theatre in the West End, where it ran for a short, sold out season in 2018.

50,000 seats are on sale for a 16-week season from Thursday 17th January - Sunday 5 May 2019, with many dates already sold out.

The full, original West End cast will make their triumphant, royal return after being named the Best Ensemble in a Play or Musical at the 2018 BroadwayWorld Awards:

Jarneia Richard-Noel (Catherine of Aragon) The Color Purple in Concert (Cadogan Hall).

Millie O'Connell (Anne Boleyn) Thoroughly Modern Millie (UK tour) and 42nd Street (was understudy Peggy Sawyer - Theatre Du Chatelet, Paris).

Natalie Paris (Jane Seymour) Sunday in the Park with George (Louise - Menier Chocolate Factory).

Alexia McIntosh (Anna of Cleves) Godiva Rocks (Rosa - Belgrade Theatre).

Aimie Atkinson (Katherine Howard) In The Heights (Daniela - Kings Cross Theatre) and Zorro the Musical (originating the lead role of Luisa - UK tour).

SIX marked the professional debuts of Maiya Quansah-Breed (Catherine Parr) and Grace Mouat (alternate Jane Seymour/Katherine Howard and Dance Captain), who both graduated from Guildford School of Acting last summer.

From January the cast will be joined by two additional alternates.

Vicki Manser (alternate Anne Boleyn & Anna of Cleves) Bat Out of Hell (West End) and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (2nd Cover Carole - West End).

Courtney Stapleton (alternate Catherine of Aragon & Catherine Parr) Bat Out of Hell (Dance Captain - West End), Les Misérables (Cover Eponine - West End) and Mamma Mia! (Cover Ali - West End).

SIX - the concert-style show with a phenomenal all-female band: the SIX wives of Henry VIII take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing 500 years of historical heartbreak into a 75-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, these Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red!

Toby Marlow (Writer) and Lucy Moss (Writer and Co-Director)

Toby and Lucy met at university, where they spent three years making theatre together and dancing aggressively to Jason Derulo at every opportunity. In January 2017, they made their first foray into writing as a duo with the musical, SIX. Following the show's initial success as a student production in Edinburgh, it returned in 2018 as one of the main shows in the Underbelly's Udderbelly Cow venue. Here it was one of the biggest hits of the festival, selling more than 10,000 seats and adding extra shows due to overwhelming public demand. SIX transferred to the West End where it sold out, night after night at the Arts Theatre. Toby and Lucy, along with Zak Ghazi-Torbati, also make up the award-winning theatre company Hot Gay Time Machine, whose show, Hot Gay Time Machine - winner of the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence - is in the West End for a Christmas season at Trafalgar Studios, following a critically acclaimed, 100% sold-out, five-star run at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe.
