Well deserving of its accolades and praises, including in my review of the production last month, SIX the Musical’s Australian tour has managed to reach another milestone at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) during its ongoing Brisbane season.
While not necessarily surprising given its month-and-a-half long run at the venue, much longer than most if not all other productions, it was confirmed that SIX the Musical is officially the “highest selling show ever to play at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) Playhouse”.
In response to hitting this milestone, QPAC Chief Executive John Kotzas issued the following statement:
Even prior to the season opening, the anticipation and demand for tickets was building for SIX and it has only increased thanks to outstanding reviews and audiences spreading the word.
John Kotzas – QPAC Chief Executive
There is an exciting buzz and energy around this production that’s quite unique. We always knew it would be a hit with our audiences but even we’ve been surprised by how quickly it has become our highest-selling production in the Playhouse.
Our congratulations to the stellar company and the producers of SIX the Musical for proving that this production is one you do not want to miss
SIX the Musical’s Australian producer, Louise Withers, also shared this statement celebrating this accomplishment:
Achieving this record-breaking run at QPAC has capped off what has been an amazing year for this phenomenal production. We thank Brisbane audiences for their enthusiasm, warmth, and acknowledgement of the talent onstage and off, which all contribute to making SIX the outstanding complete entertainment package that it is

While originally slated to take to the stage much earlier, SIX the Musical’s Australian tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and saw Brisbane as the grand finale of the production’s revised Australian tour. It has previously entertained audiences in Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, and not once but twice in Sydney – with it receiving an encore season. It also holds a similar accolade at the Sydney Opera House, where its fifteen-week run became the longest-running show ever at the venue.
