Came up on fb and thought it was satire to start with! Would put me off going to see it tbh

Oh no! I’d be fucking gutted.

Show quote history

I am! And I wouldn't mind we are travelling to London for it. Its costing me a fucking fortune. She is obsessed with musical theatre and it was between Six and Hamilton but they did Six in her stage school show and she loves the music so she picked Six. I should have booked last week when Hamilton was ahead!

I absolutely cant stand Dylan Mulvany. The level of disconnect brands have with associating with them is infuriating. I would absolutely not have given them a penny of our money had I of known.

Great so a man is going to play a female role. One of my favourite musicals aswell but I sure wouldn’t pay a penny to see it with that fake in it now.

I was there for the CUMTS show in 2017 too. It's amazing how little has changed. I loved it then but it has exceeded my expectations even so.

The show is an enormous challenge vocally, lots of the queens struggle with the belting for so many shows a week- I don't know if DM has the vocals for it.

Show quote history

I don't care if this man, Dylan Mulvaney has the vocals of Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti combined...he is a man and an activist man at that.

No-one born of a woman should go and see this and hopefully the Curse of Budweiser will shut it down.

Datun · 17/01/2026 00:36

I had heard that it was a good show. And I'm sure it is.

I'm equally sure Mulvaney's run will be short.

Mistyglade · 17/01/2026 00:35

Seething.

Though very good PR for the show says my cynical self.

Completely seperate to the discussion about this particular case... It can be done depending on the individuals vocal range. Not a tenor obvs but you get male Sopranos and men who can sing in Falsetto. I think if you are trained to listen you probably can tell the difference. But it doesn't sound ridiculous and there is a long history of male singers voicing female parts. It's not whether a man could reach those notes that is the issue really.

You can always tell. 'Oh no you can't!'
Oh yes. You can.

I’m off to bed, but my final note to anyone who hasn’t seen SIX is this - it’s a 1 hour show condensing and exceptionally complex part of English history that attempts to give a voice to 6 women who suffered at the hands of an English king.

It’s a musical

It’s not a historical narrative

It heavily relies on tropes about females - the unattractive one, the feisty one, the homemaker, the temptress etc and does its best to - within the limits of a one theatre show - to try and challenge some of this and turn it upside down.🙃

A pile of shite then. I hate musical theatre, this just adds to my 'never in a million years' list of experiences never to do twice.

persephonia · 17/01/2026 00:28

Whether Mulvaney can hit those notes is a completely seperate question....

BerryTwister · 17/01/2026 00:27

brieandcrackers · 16/01/2026 22:50

Good for her! I’m seeing it later this year (in the UK), really loved Hamilton so looking forward to another historical musical.

@brieandcrackers I assume you mean him? The whole point of this thread is that a man has the part of a female character.

Sausagescanfly · 16/01/2026 23:50

This might be a stupid question, but how does a male voice work in a female role?

Six is alright as a bit of fluff, but my main issue with it (apart from the hypocrisy of the writers) is that it constantly drones on about “telling the bits you don’t know” and then is filled with the same old stuff everybody knows about the six wives of Henry VIII. It’s so pleased with itself. It’s no Hamilton.

Absolutely raging I just bought tickets for that bloody night earlier today and bringing my dd who I absolutely would not have, had I of known.

He’s fucking massive and cant sing.

im definitely going. It’ll be hilaire

That’s one argument to be sure! I would love to see how Dylan handles this!

I’ve seen it, thanks. I found it didn’t live up to the hype.

You tell me?

It’s not a ‘deep’ show. Its 60 minutes of each of the queens singing their story and then a group number at the end.

If you’ve not seen it you might not comprehend the format?
