Show Breakdown: Six The Musical

Studying the Song - Audition Prep and Musicianship for Musical Theatre

Today’s episode is the first Show Breakdown on the podcast. I’m going to walk you through a musical the same way I would walk through it as a coach looking for material for students. This is one of my favorite things to do in life, so I’m excited to bring it to you here on the podcast.

We’ll talk about the creative team, give a brief summary of the show, and then dive into the characters and the score of the show, exploring the music genres and particular vocal requirements and styles for each character. I’ll also give you lots of artists to listen to for audition material.

As you can see from the title of the episode, we’re going to be talking about Six: The Musical, which is a pop musical originally produced in the UK, and was set to open on Broadway in 2020 after previews in February and early March. But, on the day of it’s opening, all of Broadway shut down due to the pandemic.

So, the show is now in the waiting game of when it will reopen on Broadway, as are the other shows that were supposed to premiere last year. What’s so interesting though, is that this show is being produced all over the world already in Australia and the UK and on cruiselines. They’re also already working on casting the first national tour. So, regardless of when the Broadway run will resume, there is opportunity to audition for this show NOW.

Press play and let’s dive into this vibrant and cheeky pop musical!
