Tony Award Winner ‘Six’ Will End Its Broadway Run With A Jan. 3, 2027 Closing

Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical Six will close on January 3, 2027, ending nearly six years on the Great White Way after 2,178 performances, producers announced on August 27. The show, which retells the stories of King Henry VIII’s wives through a modern pop and performance style, will play its final scheduled date at the Lyric Theatre in New York, according to the producers’ announcement.

Producers Kenny Wax, Wendy & Andy Barnes, George Stiles, and Kevin McCollum said the company would conclude the run at the Lyric Theatre on the new closure date. The announcement marks the latest milestone in a production that has remained a sustained fixture on Broadway for close to six years, with its staged total of 2,178 performances standing as the event’s benchmark for longevity on the schedule.

Six, a musical that presents Henry VIII’s wives from their own points of view, has been built around contemporary song forms and a cast-driven presentation. The show’s framework has helped it connect with audiences looking for a contemporary music-theater experience, and it has been sustained by the ongoing demand for Broadway tickets over multiple seasons.

The producers’ August 27 statement ties the closing announcement to the end of the show’s long-running Broadway engagement, which the production first began in the period leading up to its current run. With the closing date now set for early January 2027, the final month of performances will be shaped by the theater’s holiday calendar and the schedule typically used for Broadway houses during that period.

The Lyric Theatre will not only mark the end of Six’s run, but also prompt standard operational knock-on effects for the venue, including the handoff period for subsequent productions and the associated scheduling for touring and rehearsals. While Broadway productions commonly rotate in and out of theaters, the final calendar date means producers can plan for the transition well ahead of time.

The announcement also has implications for ticket holders and planned audience attendance. With the closing set for January 3, 2027, individual remaining performances through that date will become the focal point for purchasing and travel planning, and the production will face the usual end-of-run questions about how long-term ticket packages, exchange policies, and fan subscriptions will be handled by ticketing platforms and the theater.

For theater professionals, a multi-year Broadway run’s closure is also an organizing point for staffing and creative careers. In the weeks and months ahead, casting and creative teams associated with Six will begin the next steps typical for long-running shows, as production calendars shift to upcoming projects and replacement bookings for the same theater space.
