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!!!”
