Frequently Asked Questions

When is Six the Musical in Edinburgh in 2026?

Six the Musical is in Edinburgh from Tuesday 15 September to Saturday 26 September 2026 at the Festival Theatre, as part of the 2026 UK tour.

Where is Six the Musical performing in Edinburgh?

In Edinburgh, Six the Musical is playing at the Festival Theatre on Nicolson Street, a large city-centre venue close to buses, tram links, and many bars and restaurants, so it is easy to make a full evening of your visit.

What is Six the Musical about?

Six the Musical is a modern pop-concert style show where the six wives of Henry VIII form a girl group and take turns telling their own stories instead of being remembered only by the old history rhyme.

They begin with a singing competition to see who suffered most as queen, but by the end they reject the contest and choose to rewrite their lives together as powerful women with their own voices and achievements.

How long does Six the Musical run?

The performance runs for around 75 to 80 minutes with no interval, so it feels like a fast, high-energy live gig rather than a long traditional musical.

This short running time makes it easy to fit into an evening in Edinburgh and still have time to enjoy the city or travel home afterwards.

What awards has Six the Musical won?

Six the Musical has won two Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, and has collected several other major US theatre honours that celebrate its music and design.

It has also received five Olivier Award nominations in London and is widely described as an international smash hit on Broadway, in the West End, 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Six is generally recommended for older children and teenagers because it includes some mature themes, historical references, and cheeky lyrics, even though the overall tone is fun and upbeat.

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

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

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

Booking early, choosing midweek performances instead of weekends, and avoiding the very top premium seats are simple ways to keep costs down while still enjoying strong seats.

Are there ways to get last-minute discount tickets?

If you are booking close to the date, aim for weekday performances, which often have better availability and sometimes more flexible pricing than Friday and Saturday nights.

You can also check for same-day returns or unsold seats released by the box office or trusted ticket outlets shortly before the performance, which may occasionally be discounted, though this is never guaranteed for a popular musical like Six.

Which performance days are usually the best value?

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday performances at Festival Theatre Edinburgh are usually better value than peak Friday and Saturday evenings, when demand is highest.

If any matinee performances are scheduled 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 Festival Theatre Edinburgh?

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 dress circle, where you still see the queens and band clearly without paying top-tier prices.

Because Six mainly uses the front and centre of the stage, some side or upper-level seats in lower price bands can still give you 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 each queen introduces herself and explains her story 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 know very little.

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

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.
