West End musical Six has suspended performances at the Lyric Theatre until March 2021.
The smash-hit musical was once of the first musicals to resume performances in London’s West End in early December, however was forced to closed after only a few performances due to the rise in covid infections and London moving into Tier 3 restrictions.

The show would ideally extend its run at the venue however the new Bob Marley musical Get Up Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical is due to begin previews at the Lyric on 28 May 2021.
