Frequently Asked Questions

When is Six the Musical in Darlington in 2026?

Six the Musical is in Darlington from Tuesday 13 October to Saturday 17 October 2026 at Darlington Hippodrome as part of the 2026 UK tour.

Where is Six the Musical performing in Darlington?

In Darlington, Six the Musical is playing at Darlington Hippodrome on Parkgate, close to the town centre, rail station, and bus links, making it easy to reach and simple to combine with food or drinks before or after the show.

What is Six the Musical about?

Six the Musical is a British pop musical staged as a concert, where the six wives of Henry VIII become a girl band and take turns telling their own stories through powerful solo songs.

They start a competition to see who suffered the most as queen, but eventually reject being defined by Henry and choose to rewrite their stories together as independent women with their own achievements and happy endings.

How long does Six the Musical run?

The show runs for about 80 minutes without an interval, so it feels like a fast, high-energy gig rather than a long two-act musical.

This compact running time makes it easy to fit into an evening in Darlington while still leaving plenty of time to travel home or enjoy the town afterwards.

What awards has Six the Musical won?

Six the Musical has won more than 35 international awards, including Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, and multiple US critics’ prizes.

In the UK it has received several Olivier Award nominations and has been voted Best West End Show at the WhatsOnStage Awards, becoming an international smash hit in the West End, on Broadway, and on tour.

Is Six the Musical suitable for children and families?

Six is generally recommended for older children and teenagers because it includes some mature themes, historical references, and cheeky lyrics, even though the tone is fun and upbeat.

Many families enjoy seeing it together, but parents should consider their child’s age and sensitivity and decide whether the language, jokes, and concert-style atmosphere are appropriate.

How can I get cheap tickets for Six the Musical in Darlington?

To get cheaper tickets, look for lower price bands such as seats further back in the stalls or higher up in the circle, which can still offer a good view for this front-of-stage, concert-style show.

Booking early, choosing midweek performances instead of peak Friday and Saturday nights, and avoiding the highest premium seats are simple ways to save money while still enjoying strong seats.

Are there ways to get last-minute discount tickets?

If you are booking close to the date, weekday performances often give you the best chance of finding remaining tickets at reasonable prices.

You can also check for same-day returns or unsold seats released by the box office or trusted ticket outlets shortly before the show, which are sometimes discounted, although this is never guaranteed for a popular musical like Six.

Which performance days are usually the best value?

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday performances are usually better value than Friday and Saturday evenings, when demand and prices tend to be higher.

If any matinee performances are scheduled in Darlington during the run, they can also offer good value and a wider choice of seats compared with busy evening shows.

What are the best seats for value at Darlington Hippodrome?

For a balance of price and view, look for central seats a little further back in the stalls or in the front rows of the circle, where you still see the queens and band clearly without paying top-tier prices.

Because Six mostly uses the front and centre of the stage, some side or upper-level seats in lower price bands can still offer a lively atmosphere and a clear view of most of the action.

Do I need to know Tudor history to enjoy Six the Musical?

You do not need detailed Tudor history knowledge, as the queens introduce themselves and explain their stories through clear, witty, modern songs that make the plot easy to follow.

A basic awareness that Henry VIII had six wives can make some jokes and references more satisfying, but the show is designed to be fun and accessible even if you come in knowing very little.

What should I wear and when should I arrive for the show in Darlington?

There is no strict dress code, so smart-casual clothing that you feel comfortable wearing for about 80 minutes is ideal, and many people enjoy leaning into the pop-concert feel with bright or themed outfits.

Arriving around 30 minutes before the performance gives you time to collect tickets if needed, find your seat, and settle in so you do not miss the queens taking to the mic at the very start of the show.
