Six the Musical is based on their stories, and it's returning for a third Australian run at a time when the odds for theatre productions aren't so good either. A return season ran from 2021 to 2023 across Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, and a 2024 to 2025 tour played in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Newcastle. The Victorian government and City of Melbourne announced a $1 million Musical Theatre Development Fund earlier in July to develop new works for commercial release.
