Final Extension - SIX Will Close May 26, 2024 at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre
Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s Tony Award®-winning global smash hit musical SIX is extended again by popular demand, with tickets now available for performances until May 26, 2024, at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre. This will be the show’s final extension.
By the time it closes, the Canadian production of SIX will have had a run of 40 weeks — four in Edmonton and 36 in Toronto — and have been seen by over 320,000 people.
“SIX has been a sensation around the world,” said David Mirvish. “That certainly is also the case in Canada. We are immensely proud of having our own production, which has received critical acclaim, showcased the talents of amazing new performers, introduced professional theatre to a much younger audience, and has been a tremendous financial success.
“Many thanks to our wonderful partners — original producers Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes, George Stiles and Kevin McCollum — for making the Canadian production of SIX possible and for their continued support.”
Tickets to the final extension of SIX are now on sale online at mirvish.com, by phone at 1-800-461-3333 and in-person at the Royal Alexandra Theatre box office.
