The production will then have its UK premiere at theSpace Triplex Studio from 7 August – 29 August at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

When violent insurrectionists stormed the United States Capitol on 6th January 2021, they ruined a birthday forever. Kiely and Jessie are best friends who share the same birthday and the same big dreams of theatrical stardom. On the fateful day of the insurrection, their birthday goes from bad to worse when allegations emerge of their involvement in the attempted coup. Faced with their special day going down in infamy and spending the rest of their lives in prison, can Kiely and Jessie sing and dance their way to innocence?

Jessie Ballard and Kiely Sugayan, said, "January 6th The Musical is a celebration of friendship. This show began as a way to celebrate our birthday together…and sell out a theater. It's our dream come true to bring this show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and what better place to preview it than here in Brooklyn where our friendship and this show began? We can't wait for you to join the party."

January 6th The Musical is directed by Olivia Verrill with music composition by Jack Ballard and Kitty Richardson and production design by Kenzie Lovett. This production is produced by Speakerphone Productions.
