Six to Close Broadway Run Jan. 3, 2027

Citing declining Broadway grosses, producers set the closing as international productions, tours, filmed capture remain active.

Overview

  • Producers announced on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026 that Six will play its final Broadway performance on January 3, 2027, ending a run of 2,178 performances.
  • The show became the longest-running production at the Lena Horne Theatre and ranks among Broadway’s longer-running recent hits since its post-shutdown opening in October 2021.
  • Producers pointed to falling box-office receipts and lower capacity as factors in the decision, with one recent week showing grosses of about $463,638 and roughly 60 percent attendance.
  • Six has a broad commercial footprint that will continue beyond New York through an active West End production, multiple national and international tours, a Spanish-language staging in Madrid and a filmed live-capture released in North American cinemas on Aug. 14.
  • The musical, created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, won Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design and recouped its initial capitalization early in its Broadway run, which helped fuel its rapid global expansion.
