The Tony Award-winning and chart-topping musical, Six, is coming to the Winspear Opera House for 24 performances Dec. 6-25, courtesy of Broadway Dallas. Individual tickets ($40-$155) go on sale tomorrow, Sept 16 at 10 am. They'll be available online at BroadwayDallas.org and by phone at 800-982-2787. (Orders for groups of ten or more may be placed by calling 214-426-4768 or emailing Groups@BroadwayDallas.org.)
The success of Six is like the come-from-nowhere rise into royalty of Anne Boleyn — without the eventual beheading. From its start as a Cambridge University show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to an Olivier Award-winning musical in London's West End to opening on Broadway, Six has overcome not just the usual hurdles of a show written by young, no-name first-timers (Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss) but also opening on Broadway in March 2022 — just when the pandemic shut down live theater in New York City.
The musical is now playing at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in New York, having won three Tony Awards (best original score, lyrics and costume design, natch) and is touring Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss devised the original concept and started writing SIX when they were students at Cambridge University in early 2017. It was first presented as the Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society’s submission to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe later that year, playing a one-month run and featuring student actors. SIX went on to get picked up by UK Producers and a new production was mounted, with professional actors and a predominantly new creative team, at the Norwich Playhouse and then again at Edinburgh Festival in 2018. A limited engagement at the Arts Theatre in London garnered the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Off-West End Production and the show toured the UK in the autumn of 2018 before returning to the Arts Theatre and subsequently the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. SIX is currently playing an open-ended run at the Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand. SIX earned five 2019 Laurence Olivier Award nominations, including Best New Musical. A UK and Ireland tour is now running concurrently with the London production. An Australian and New Zealand tour will launch this year at Sydney Opera House with dates set for Melbourne, Adelaide, and Wellington.
