Marlow and Moss said: "We are UNBELIEVABLY excited about Six coming to Broadway, like actually what is going on! We are so grateful that we get to share our show with an even wider audience, especially somewhere as iconic as the home of musical theatre – BROADWAY BABY!! The whole team across the pond are ridiculously amazing, and we can't wait to share the show with you – NYC, thanks for having us!!!"

The production has recently unveiled a new sing-along cast album, and a book full of sheet music. It continues to run at the Arts Theatre in the West End and is also on a UK tour, currently in Cheltenham before travelling to Edinburgh, Aylesbury, Bath, Nottingham, Bromley, Southend, Sheffield, Hull, Canterbury, Coventry, Leicester, Newcastle, Southampton and Birmingham.
