All we need is SIX
With SIX returning to The Grand this week, we decided to celebrate the growing love for the musical that is taking the theatre world by storm.
We reached out across our social media channels to find out your favourite Queens, which songs you can’t stop ‘getting down’ to, and what YOU love about the show.

One of a kind, no category
SIX was one of our shows sadly affected by the pandemic. With tickets originally going on sale in autumn 2019 for summer 2020, the show was rescheduled for June 2021 for it to then be socially distanced. Although some audience members were able to come, sadly a lot of bookers have been waiting for over two years. The wait is finally over…
The excitement has certainly been building over on Facebook:
“This is probably one of the best things I’ve seen. I saw it in London it was brilliant. You won’t be disappointed” – Pat
“Can’t wait to see this. We’ve been waiting two years for it” – Tina
For those that did manage to see the show last summer, here’s a little taster of what audience members were saying on Twitter:
“Just got back from @sixthemusical UK Tour and I am buzzing! An absolutely fantastic and empowering show. ALL HAIL THE QUEENDOM!!” – @bran_RobCon
“What a fab night last night, quite overwhelming after so long doing something ‘normal’ the wives were amazing, the band were great and all the staff were efficient and made it a great night!” – @sarahprince71
Over on Instagram, @madeleine.partland, made her own costume in honour of her favourite queen, Anne Boleyn. We absolutely LOVE it. Are you dressing up for the occasion this week? Please tag us in your photos!

Who is your Queen of the Castle?
The show itself sees the Queens battle it out over who had the worst deal with Henry VIII. So, just for fun, we decided to hold our own little contest. Over on Twitter we ran a poll to find out who your favourite Queen was.
The results:
- Katherine Howard
- Anne Boleyn
- Catherine of Aragon
- Catherine Parr
- Anne of Cleves
- Jane Seymour
