Six queens, one pop concert
SIX is a short, high-energy musical in which the six wives of Henry VIII take the stage as pop stars and compete over who suffered most in the marriage. On Broadway it plays at the Lena Horne Theatre on West 47th Street, where it opened on October 3, 2021, and the production has announced its final Broadway performance for January 3, 2027. A North American touring company continues after that, with dates listed into June 2027.
Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote the music, book and lyrics while students. The show premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017, opened in London's West End in January 2019 and is still running there. An all-female band called the Ladies in Waiting plays on stage. Songs such as "Ex-Wives", "Heart of Stone" and "Haus of Holbein" became streaming hits, and the Broadway cast album debuted at number 1 on Billboard's cast album chart.
The Broadway run and its pandemic opening
SIX had one of the most unusual Broadway openings on record. Previews began at the Lena Horne Theatre on February 13, 2020, and opening night was set for March 12, 2020, the day all Broadway theaters shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. The show resumed previews on September 17, 2021, and finally opened on October 3, 2021.
At the 2022 Tony Awards it won Best Original Score for Marlow and Moss and Best Costume Design for Gabriella Slade. The cast recording earned a 2023 Grammy nomination. In August 2026 two original London queens, Natalie Paris and Aimie Atkinson, joined the Broadway company for its final months, and a filmed version, SIX The Musical Live, opened in US movie theaters on August 14, 2026.
The scheduled January 3, 2027 closing ends a Broadway run of more than five years. Demand for the remaining weeks, especially the final holiday stretch, is likely to be higher than a typical winter.
Runtime, age guidance and what to expect
The show runs 80 minutes with no intermission, which makes it one of the shortest musicals on Broadway and an easy pairing with dinner. The Broadway production recommends it for ages 10 and up, and children under 5 are not admitted.
It plays like a concert: loud, bright, with concert-style lighting and audience participation encouraged by the cast. The lyrics include innuendo and references to beheading, infidelity and abuse of power, handled with comic distance. Preteens who already stream the songs usually love it, and the short running time makes it a good first Broadway show. Arrive on time, since there is no intermission break.
Where to sit at the Lena Horne Theatre
The Lena Horne, known as the Brooks Atkinson Theatre until 2022, is an intimate 1926 Herbert J. Krapp house with about 1,069 seats on two levels: the orchestra and a single mezzanine. SIX uses a fixed concert-style set with the band on stage, so there is little scenery to block and most of the show faces straight out to the audience.
Orchestra
Center orchestra in the middle rows gives the concert feel the show is designed for, with full view of the six queens in their staggered positions. The front rows put you in the middle of the energy and in the queens' eyeline, though you may look up at a steep angle.
Mezzanine
The front mezzanine is excellent for this show because the lighting design reads like an arena concert from above, and the house is small enough that faces stay clear. Rear mezzanine seats are the budget choice and still workable in a room this size.
Seats to think twice about
- Extreme side seats: a queen standing at the far edge of the line can be partly hidden.
- Rear orchestra under the overhang: the mezzanine above clips the top of the lighting rig, which is part of the spectacle.
The North American tour
SIX has toured North America since 2022, when two companies, the Aragon and Boleyn tours, launched. As of October 1, 2026, the Broadway site lists a North American tour with stops from Baltimore in late October 2026 through Lexington, Kentucky, in late June 2027, including San Francisco, Seattle and Edmonton. Many stops are short, sometimes two or three days, in mid-size halls where the show's compact staging fits comfortably.
Because engagements are brief, the best center seats in each city go quickly, and resale demand rises close to the date. In a larger touring house, the front of the lowest balcony is often better than the back of a deep orchestra. Check the tour page for confirmed cities.
When demand peaks
- Highest demand: the final Broadway weeks through January 3, 2027, including the holiday stretch from Thanksgiving to New Year's.
- Moderate demand: Friday and Saturday evenings and weekend matinees.
- Widest choice: Tuesday through Thursday evenings in the fall, before the holiday rush.
The show offers a digital lottery and day-of standing room when sold out, which reduces some last-minute demand at the low end. On resale, the date drives prices more than the seat. Every GoodSeats order is backed by a 100% guarantee. Confirm the schedule on the official SIX Broadway site.
