BREAKING NEWS: SIX is getting its feet wet to North American audiences before heading to the Big Apple. The smash hit GIRL POWER musical (that originally got its start in the UK) is set to play St. Paul, Minnesota this Holiday season. It's scheduled to play a limited engagement the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts from November 29th – December 22nd, 2019.
In addition for its St. Paul run, SIX will replace the initial show scheduled to go into the Ordway which was the musical adaptation of the 1998 film EVER AFTER (also expecting to hit Broadway) which will now move for the next season (so the creative team can have extended time on changes and rewrites).
SIX (the pop concert experience exploring the lives of the six ex-wives of King Henry VIII) previously had its North American Premiere in Chicago this past Spring at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. It's also expecting to hit Cambridge, MA at the American Repertory Theater later this Summer running from August 21st – September 27th, 2019. Talks are also made for the production to hit the New York Stage. No word has been announced if it's going to be performed either ON or OFF Broadway. In addition, no word has been made if anyone from Chicago or Cambridge will also be taking part in the St. Paul run.
Who is excited?
