If you thought the reign of SIX The Musical might be coming to an end, think again. The producers have announced that the award-winning West End sensation has extended its booking period at the Vaudeville Theatre until 28 November 2027, giving audiences another chance to join the Queendom.
Since bursting onto the scene as a student production at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017, SIX has become one of the biggest success stories in modern musical theatre. Here’s why it continues to captivate audiences around the world.
1. You Can Now See It in London Until November 2027
One of the biggest pieces of theatre news this summer is that SIX has extended its West End run for another year. The show remains a firm favourite with London audiences and visitors alike, regularly playing to packed houses at the Vaudeville Theatre. If it has been sitting on your theatre wish list, there has never been a better time to book.

2. It Turns Tudor History Into a Pop Concert
Forget everything you remember from school history lessons. SIX reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as pop superstars, each stepping forward to tell her side of the story. The result is a fast-paced, funny and empowering 80-minute musical packed with unforgettable songs, sharp humour and plenty of audience participation.
3. It Has Become a Global Theatre Phenomenon
Few British musicals have enjoyed the international success of SIX. What started at the Edinburgh Fringe is now playing around the world, with productions and tours spanning North America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia. In 2026, the show will open a brand-new Spanish-language production in Madrid, return to Australia and China, and continue expanding across Europe.
4. The Awards Cabinet Is Overflowing
SIX has collected more than 35 major awards worldwide, including Tony Awards on Broadway and multiple WhatsOnStage Awards for Best West End Show. The musical has also been nominated for Olivier Awards and has built an incredibly loyal fan base. Its soundtrack has now been streamed more than 5.5 billion times, making it one of the most listened-to musical theatre recordings of recent years.
5. The Queendom Is Heading to the Big Screen
The success of SIX is no longer confined to theatres. Following a hugely successful UK cinema release, SIX The Musical Live! is heading to more than 1,000 cinema screens across the United States and Canada in 2026. It’s another milestone for a show that continues to find new audiences while remaining one of the most exciting nights out in the West End.
Why We Love It
SIX manages to be educational without feeling like a history lesson, empowering without being preachy, and spectacular without taking itself too seriously. Whether you’re a musical theatre fan, a history buff, or simply looking for a brilliant night out in London, it’s easy to see why audiences keep coming back.
