After triumphantly taking the West End, Broadway, and stages across the globe by storm, the international smash-hit phenomenon SIX the Musical will make its royal return to Australia in 2026, with seasons confirmed at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre from July 2026, Theatre Royal Sydney from October 2026 and QPAC’s Playhouse Theatre in Brisbane from January 2027.

The soundtrack has amassed over 5.2 billion streams

SIX is the winner of 38 major international awards, including two Tony Awards® and a Grammy® nomination. The soundtrack has amassed over 5.2 billion streams, the production attracts more than 3.5 million fans annually, and the show has now played in over 15 countries, proving the Queens’ reign is far from over.

Since its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, SIX has received widespread critical acclaim, leaving audiences enthralled by its infectious energy, catchy tunes, and empowering message. It swiftly moved to the West End and Broadway and continued to garner international recognition with productions in Australia, Canada, the United States, Europe and South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, Japan and China.

In January 2026, Australian audiences will also have the opportunity to head to cinema screens to see SIX the Musical Live!, filmed live at London’s Vaudeville Theatre starring the original West End cast of SIX.

Australian audiences will be the first to see the film outside of the UK & Ireland for a limited time only at select cinemas from January 8.
