BREAKING NEWS: DAYS OF INFAMY

Bittersweet farewells and death-defying cheers were witnessed as 5 of SIX: The Musical's queens take their final bows on the 12th and 13th of October, 2019.

SIX alternate and swing Courtney Stapleton donned the Seymour crown one last time in the 12th's matinee performance; she has announced her departure of the show earlier this June and will serve as the understudy for the roles of Zoe Murphy and Alana Beck in the upcoming Dear Evan Hansen West End production this November.

Alongside her last SIX performance was Shekinah McFarlane's last go as Aragon at The Arts Theatre; McFarlane, who served as an alternate for Aragon and Cleves, will be joining the SIX UK tour cast which was announced last 5th of September.

The 13th's audience members witnessed the tearful goodbyes and the emotional atmosphere at the theatre during Millie O'Connell, Maiya Quansah-Breed, and Aimie Atkinson's final bows as West End's Anne Boleyn, Catherine Parr and Katherine Howard.

The show was made even more heartbreaking as Millie, Aimie and Maiya share their final megasix with not only their original West End castmates, but also SIX's own alternates, swings and understudies: Courtney Stapleton, Vicki Manser, Shekinah McFarlane, Collette Guitart, and former dance captain and alternate Grace Mouat who has left last August and is now serving as first cover for the titular role in &Juliet, all wearing their costumes, spending 5 more minutes on stage with each other.

A lot of fans have described the series of shows on the 12th and 13th as devastatingly depressing, with many pointing out that some of the actresses weren't able to complete their songs due to sadness and crying their hearts out, citing Natalie May Paris not being able to complete "Heart of Stone", Courtney Stapleton in tears at the end of her HOS, and Maiya Quansah-Breed breaking down at the end of "I Don't Need Your Love" as examples.

The queens went to social media to express their love and gratitude for the show and their sisters, saying that SIX has truly changed their lives and that in their heart, they will always be queens.

Courtney Bowman and Danielle Steers will take on the mantles of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr respectively, debuting on the 14th of October alongside Vicki Manser's principal role debut as Katherine Howard.

Vicki Manser, who was scheduled to leave the show on October until last 26th of September wherein Aimie announced her decision to depart from the show, will fill in as Howard until the 15th of December.

Zara Macintosh, Hana Steward and Cherelle Jay are now SIX's new alternate trio, with the latter debuting as a SIX queen later this week.

On the other hand, Millie will be starring as Velcro in the West End production of Soho Cinders alongside Luke Bayer. No official announcements have been made by either Maiya or Aimie regarding their future projects; however, despite the fact that Aimie has recently been in a new British musical called "Lilith", it is unclear whether she will be working on this in the meantime. No concrete details have also been released on whether or not Aimie will come back to SIX or if she has left for good.
