Edinburgh Festival Theatre Events
13-29 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9FT
SIX the Musical runs at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh from Tuesday 15 to Saturday 26 September 2026.
The Capital Theatres listing shows ticket prices across the run and marks some performances as selling fast. That is not a surprise. SIX has become one of the most recognisable touring musical titles in the UK, and its pop-concert format gives it a different feel from a standard period musical.
The show reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as the stars of their own stage concert, which is a large part of the appeal. Even if you do not usually go for historical musicals, the tone here is much more direct, loud and playful.

What To Expect
The big selling point with SIX is its format. It works more like a staged pop show than a long traditional musical, with six central performers, chart-style numbers and a fast pace.
That gives it a wider reach than many theatre runs. People who do not usually book musicals often already know the title, while regular theatre audiences tend to know what sort of energy to expect. In a venue like the Festival Theatre, it should feel polished without losing the concert edge the show is known for.
It is also a straightforward pick if you want a high-profile Edinburgh theatre night in September. The title is well known, the venue is central, and the booking window is long enough to give you a few date options.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets are listed through the official Capital Theatres event page. Ticket availability can change, so check the live listing before booking.
Some dates are already marked as selling fast, so if you need a weekend performance or a specific seating area, it is worth checking early. Performance times can vary across the run.
Location
The show takes place at Festival Theatre on Nicolson Street, close to the Old Town and a short walk from the South Bridge side of the city centre.
Getting There
Edinburgh Waverley is the main nearby rail station. Several bus routes also stop along South Bridge and Nicolson Street, which makes public transport the easiest option for most people.
Our Tips
- Check performance times carefully, especially if you are booking a matinee or weekend show.
- If a date is marked as selling fast, it is worth comparing a few alternatives across the run.
- Theatre nights on Nicolson Street are easier if you leave enough time for queues and city-centre traffic.
