With this episode, Chasing Phantom inaugurates an intermittent series on shows that haven't technically made it over the 1,000 performance mark but are on the fast track to getting there.
SIX was the answer to Broadway fans' pent up demand when the theater world emerged from the pandemic and it's still packing theaters in NYC as well as in houses across the country thanks to its first national tour. While only at 850+ performances at this recording, there's no reason to think that it'll cross the 1,000 performance threshold early next year and start shooting up the longest running shows list.
Given that SIX is a fan-driven show / phenomenon, we brought on a Chasing Phantom fan on to talk about the show, Kathy Kreutzer. Not only is she a long-time fan of theater, she has many insightful and articulate things to say about it. Is SIX theater or a glorified concert? How close does the show get to the historical facts, and does it really matter. We dig into those questions and more, interspersed as always with some choice sonic nuggets from the production. Enjoy!
