The writers of Six, Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow, have signed a publishing deal with Warner Music, according to The Stage.
Warner Chappell Music plans to work with the writers to develop them as "songwriters for contemporary artists", as well as work with them on musical theatre projects.
The company has agreed to a joint venture with Six's producers, including Kenny Wax, Global Musicals and George Stiles, as well as Paul Lisberg of Loudmouth Music, allowing each party to have a stake in the use of the show's songs on streaming services and on radio.
Mike Smith, managing director of Warner Chappell Music said that Moss and Marlow could be "at the heart of the new creative explosion."
"As well as writing and directing Six, what really excites me about working with them is developing them as songwriters for contemporary artists," Smith said. "We're already bringing them into writing camps and see a terrific future for them in this area, as well as musical theatre."
