North American Tour (2019)

Six! had it's American premier at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in May 2019. The show was directed by Jamie Armitage and Lucy Moss and had the same producers as the London production plus Broadway producer Kevin McCollum. Many people believe that the Chicago was a 'Broadway tryout' to see how American audiences would react to Six! It obviously went down well as the run was extended in Chicago. Following this run, the same production moved to the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge (Massachusetts) in August & September of 2019.

The show made it's Canadian premiere at Edmonton's Citadel Theatre in November. The production then moved to the Ordway Centre for the Performing Arts in St. Paul (Minnesota) from the 29th November 2019 through to the 22nd December, prior to it's Broadway debut! Throughout the North American tour, the cast experienced a few changes when performers left the cast to attend prior engagements. Full details of this can be found on the 'Cast List' page.
