“Casting for SIX was conducted across Canada and the United States,” explained David Mirvish. “We are delighted by the cast of 10 multi-talented and dynamic actors and the powerful band. They represent an exciting new generation of theatre artists, and we are honoured to have them tell the empowering story of this celebrated and exciting new musical in Canada.”
