History can be engaging when you experience it with the award-winning Broadway musical, "Six — The Musical." You don’t have to be a fan of history to enjoy "Six — The Musical," though. Its message of girl power, brought home through amazing music, makes seeing this production an memorable occasion.

The original Broadway show production of "Six — The Musical" received 2 Tony awards, including for Best Score. After premiering on the West End and moved to Broadway, you now have the chance to attend "Six" in San Diego, California. The touring production of "Six" will bring the pulse-pounding music to San Diego Civic Theatre on Tuesday 30th December 2025.

"Six" originated as a production by the Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society in 2017 in London, England. The positive reviews of those showings resulted in a professional production that traveled across the United Kingdom in 2018.

"Six" made its official opening on London’s West End in 2019. It had a well-received run until Covid lockdowns prevented events for most of 2020.

But still, the production has continued to draw a growing legion of fans and was the subject of many tours around the world. It finally moved to New York City, where it was the first new show to begin performing on Broadway after Covid lockdowns.

It continues to travel across North America, Canada and the world today. An interesting twist to the writing of "Six — The Musical" was that Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss used actual musical icons to model the characters. They used inspiration from artists like Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Adele, Celine Dion, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Alicia Keys for the character creation.
