Creators Marlow and Moss added, “We
had so much fun making this film with the most incredible team of
filmmakers and creatives, and it was so special to be reunited with the
exceptionally talented and iconic original West End queens. We’re so
grateful that we had opportunity to film the show, and that we get to
share SIX with a wider audience in this new and exciting way. We hope
you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!!!”
