The music from 'SIX' is a global phenomenon. The songs have been streamed over 450 million times across all platforms, and had over 3 billion views on TikTok, making it the second highest streamed cast recording in the world, second only currently to 'Hamilton'. The music has had 225 million streams on Spotify, over 100 milion streams onYouTube (including 20 million from SIX's own channel), 55 million streams on Apple Music, and 25 million streams on Amazon.
Today's glittering event comes three years after the release of the 'SIX' studio album. Unable to attend was Genesis Lynea (Cleves), who was filming a TV drama.
Thanks to Historic Royal Palaces, the event was held at the stunning Banqueting House, site of the Palace of Whitehall which was created by Henry VIII as a royal pad fit for himself and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, later the site of Charles I's execution. It is currently closed to the public.
The celebration was live-streamed by TikTok from SIX's channel @SixTheMusical, allowing SIX fans around the world to join in.
The new vinyl edition will be officially released next year, and viewers of the livestream were given the first opportunity to pre-order a copy.
SIX has become a global phenomenon since its early days as a student production in a 100-seat room at Sweet Venue during the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
It is now being enjoyed as much as ever in its new West End home, the Vaudeville Theatre. It
continues its sold-out UK Tour and has finally opened in New York to stunning reviews at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Broadway, and is due to reopen in Australia this December at the Sydney Opera House.
SIX was nominated for five Olivier Awards including Best New Musical. It won the BBC Radio 2 Audience Award for Best Musical at the Whatsonstage Awards, performed on the results show of 'Britain's Got Talent' and has performed annually in front of thousands at West End Live in Trafalgar Square.
