After its 2017 Edinburgh Fringe launch, Six held a sold-out run in London and a successful North American premiere in Chicago. The show moves to A.R.T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts beginning August 21, taking the Windy City's cast with it.
Six was conceived by Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow while the pair studied at Cambridge University in the U.K. Following its West End debut, the show earned five Olivier Award nominations including Best New Musical.
The Sydney production is presented in association with Louise Withers, Michael Coppel, and Linda Bewick by arrangement with Kenny Wax, Andy & Wendy Barnes and George Stiles. The musical's original creative team includes directors Moss and Jamie Armitage, choreographer Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, set designer Emma Bailey, costume designer by Gabriella Slade, and orchestrator by Tom Curran.
