“Six is an absolute joy, it taps into my inner teenage girl – I wish these Queens were here to empower me when I was younger.”
“Indeed, no matter how many of the previous casts you’ve seen, this is the line-up you don’t want to miss.”
“Moss and Jamie Armitage’s infectiously fun production is packed with witty touches that make history, and theatre, easily accessible.”
