What Visitors Say
Went to see Six the musical on Sunday 21st December. It was absolutely brilliant. It's quite an intimate theatre not as big as other west End theatres I've been to. It is well maintained. We sat in Box D, which has a restricted view of the side of the stage but to be honest it didn't matter to me because most of the songs are performed in the middle anyway. Loved having the space to sit comfortably and so close to the stage!
Six is a fun funky musical. The singers and the songs are very fitting for each wife and made me laugh. The show is very upbeat like a disco party. If you want actually facts about Henry 8th wives and want a quiet and calm atmosphere, this show is NOT for you. Get you sparkly outfits on and enjoy the rock show. I sat in row D stalls "Sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said I'm just tryna have some fun"
Up in the circle the viewing was a little cramped. Hence four stars. But then I've just watched Six and forget the seats the performance was just fantastic. The cast had wonderful voices and the production was uplifting and sublime. My 45 Year 8 students all loved it. And given the fact that watching a musical was "gonna be boring" was how we started even better! Well done. Will deffo be going again!
We sat in seats A1-2 of the Dress Circle. Seat A1 was advertised as restricted view but there didn’t seem to be anything restricted about it. Would highly recommend. Great legroom and spacious area around these seats. Six the musical absolutely incredible. So impressed. The theatre itself is lovely and intimate. Much smaller than others in the West End.
Lovely small/intimate and conveniently located theatre. The seats are on the narrow side but comfortable enough and I had plenty of leg room. The photo is the view from the second row. Six is an amazing production and the performers are absolutely incredible.

Stalls centre for full sound and energy. Dress Circle front rows offer an excellent elevated view. Upper Circle front-centre provides strong value and clear sightlines in a compact auditorium. For a safer booking, also note: Avoid far-side Upper Circle if you prefer a head-on view, and back rows for taller visitors due to the shallow rake.

Is Vaudeville Theatre a good venue for seeing Six?
Yes, if you book with the production's scale in mind. Six is currently listed at Vaudeville Theatre, so choose seats that suit this staging rather than simply buying the cheapest available ticket. For a first visit, a central view is the least risky option.
