Six the Musical

Global smash-hit pop musical SIX remixes Tudor history at Beijing Poly Theatre, December 3-20, 2026.

The short version. Six the Musical (音乐剧 SIX) runs at Beijing Poly Theatre (北京保利剧院) from 3 to 20 December 2026, with the listing giving a performance time of 20:00–23:00. Tickets are sold by scanning a QR code on the show poster, and no other booking route is published. Prices, and whether the QR route works for someone without a Chinese phone number or WeChat account, have not been announced.

What it is

A touring production of the pop musical Six, which reworks the story of Henry VIII's six wives as a concert-style performance. The organiser's listing describes it as a global hit and credits it with 35 international awards; that figure is the organiser's own, and no breakdown is given. The listing carries no information about the cast, the language of performance, or whether surtitles will be provided in English or Chinese.

Dates and venue

Beijing Poly Theatre, 3–20 December 2026. The listing is marked as a multi-date event and gives 20:00–23:00 as the time, but does not publish a performance-by-performance schedule, so it is not stated which of those dates have shows, whether there are matinees, or whether the running time shown reflects the actual length of the performance rather than a block booking of the hall. No venue address, transport directions or door-opening time appear in the listing.

Getting in

The only stated way to buy is to scan the QR code on the show poster. The listing does not name the ticketing platform behind that code, does not say whether it requires a WeChat account, a Chinese mobile number, a mainland payment method, or real-name registration against a passport number, and does not indicate whether an international card or a foreign passport can be used to complete a purchase. It also gives no box office, phone line, email, or overseas agent as an alternative route. Ticket prices, seating tiers, on-sale dates and any booking deadline have not been published. If you need to confirm before travelling, assume none of this is settled and check directly with Beijing Poly Theatre.

This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.

Status: Organizer not stated in source. Ticket purchase only described as 'scan QR code on poster', so access channel is unclear beyond that; access set to 'hard' as no direct booking link is given. Listing says 'Multiple dates' with showtime 20:00-23:00, but does not specify which days within Dec 3-20 have performances. Tier: local — a touring musical run in Beijing, relevant to visitors already in the city. The organiser's page gives a start date but no end date; shown here as a single day rather than guessing when it closes.
