VLOG: can we see SIX in 2 countries in 1 day?! | a two show day challenge in Amsterdam and London

[@chloeb4786]

Ooh I have another challenge idea… Could you try seeing the Moulin Rouge matinee in London and then get to Paris to see an 11pm show at the real Moulin Rouge?

[@louyou5667]

Or the one in cologne since it's right at the main central station

[@myaaparsons]

they have the musical in paris he should see it

[@browneyes142a]

​@@emhu2594because cheesy or not, those dancers are phenomenally talented and because it makes a cool challenge

[@friezenfan]

or wait till next year when moulin rouge is coming to the netherlands.

[@ZacJAWilliams]

Would it be possible to see Starlight Express in both Germany and London in one day when the UK production opens later this year? Loved the video ^.^

[@cannibalisticrequiem]

That sounds like it would be relatively easy! I've never been overseas, but from some of the KZbinrs I watch (Caddicarus, MickeyJo, Kara and Nate) it has always seemed to me relatively easy to get from England to France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Spain. I could totally be wrong of course, but my understanding of it, is you hop on a train and within 20 - 30 minutes you're in Germany. Hop another train and you'll be in France within the hour. I think there are even tours that you can book while in England that will have you hopping the train, or boarding a car, and spending the day visiting Italy, Germany, and France. Again, I'm not completely certain this is all true, it's mostly conjecture on my part based on what I've heard other people say... but as a comparison: It seems much quicker traveling between Western European countries than say driving from San Diego, California to Las Vegas, Nevada which is easily an all day trip.

[@Simplenotion]

​@@cannibalisticrequiem Your understanding is somewhat wrong. Sure some parts of certain countries are very close to each other/share a border. I would know, I grew up right at the German border to Switzerland and France. Now I live in a German town further up north and getting there would take me 5-14 hours depending on the route/train/car. Getting to Spain would take me about 19-21 hours by car/train and that is assuming no traffic/mishaps. By the way neither Italy nor Spain are "western" European countries and Germany is most often sorted into Central Europe. Getting from one to the other farthest removed city of the countries you named (which would be approximately Berwick-upon-Tweed in England and Pachino in Italy) would take at least 32 hours- more likely 42 - there is an ocean in between ;-). The German starlight express is in Bochum. Getting from there to Wembley Park is about 7 hours by train/car. The other option would be flying. Bochum does not have an airport...but a couple of cities nearby do. The flight itself is only about 1,25/1,5 hours...but there are only 3ish flights to London a day. The starlight matinee is on at 3pm Saturdays and 2pm on Sundays. The show runs for almost 3 hours. So you would be finished at 6pm/5 pm. Let's say starlight in London starts at 8pm, we'll pick a Saturday. You'd have two hours plus the one hour time difference to make it. Since getting to a viable airport (Düsseldorf most likely) already takes at least 30 minutes and getting from Heathrow to Wembley Park is also about 30 mins...you would have to catch a perfectly timed flight with basically 30 mins available for security/boarding. I highly doubt that that's possible. Thanks for making me look up all of tis stuff though. It was fun!

[@zoeheilemeier7435]

​@@Simplenotion I was also like " 30 min, you're sweet " I live in NRW and need 2.5 hours to Hamburg, 5-6 hours to Stuttgart and to London it would also be at least 7-8 hours or longer And these are the times by train/car by plane it takes a good 1.5 hours to get from Germany to London but that also depends on the location

[@AeronJames]

Possibly one of the most out there things we’ve done so far - also now I really want a return trip to properly explore Amsterdam! Any recommendations for a future trip?

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Moeders Restaurant! It serves really good traditional Dutch food. Oh and of course the Van Gogh museum! So many wonderful paintings.

[@beckyBWwilliams]

I do like ur vids but I worry about ur carbon footprint...you should enjoy the country ur visiting really to make it worth while rather then rushing back for the sake of a vid. X

[@maphire_]

I LOVED this!! How about seeing Phantom in London and El Fantasma de la Ópera in Madrid for your next challenge?

[@RhiannonEve]

This is complete and utter madness, but I love it!

[@jspihlman]

OMG I love Allears!! Love that you guys discovered them too!

[@musicluvr0711]

I absolutely love that you guys love theater this much that you do crazy things like this! Can’t wait to see what else you guys get up to!

[@katiechambers1319]

I think that if you took the Eurostar you could definitely do a Paris to London 2 show day! Obviously again the time difference would work in your favor, but also St. Pancras and Gare Du Nor are right in the city centers as opposed to airports. Could see something at the Paris Opera House and then go see Phantom of the opera, or see moulin rouge in London then go see something at the actual moulin rouge. I think Mamma Mia is about to open in Paris soon too.

[@seamuscillianmccracken9787]

Great challenge! Couldn’t happen to a better show! Absolutely brilliant! The show that is. You both are not just brilliant, your absolutely fabulous. Your reviews are highly valued , spot on, for myself , prior to booking a show I make sure to consult your channel first.

[@MrBroadwaydream]

It was so awesome seeing and meeting you at the flea today! Hope you and Aeron have a fantastic time here in NYC :)

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I definitely didn't think you'd be able to pull this off! You should try a Paris/London one next. It's making me wonder if a similar challenge would be possible in Vancouver, Canada to Seattle, WA, USA, but I think only if Six were ever playing in both places at once (which it never would be). Other longer shows just probably wouldn't work.

[@EMM_84]

Ive done multiple shows across cities but never different countries. That was a tad stressful to watch but also really fun! Love that both productions were on board with the idea!

[@seanagreen9140]

I'm from Belfast and I've flown to London to watch a show and then flown home on the same day. Ive done the same for Edinburgh and Liverpool as well but I had to go to those three cities for interviews (pre-pandemic) and I thought I may as well make the most of it

[@christopherbutler1980]

Great meeting you both today! Enjoy Purlie tonight...oh, no intermission. Get your libations beforehand. Have a great trip.

[@kayx1340]

Fantastic challenge! I did wonder if the announcement might be that you and Aeron got married in Amsterdam, but I love Six, so also mucho excited.

[@rmcmariusable]

It was great seeing you today at Flea. I saw Purlie yesterday and it was awesome. Enjoy!!!

[@brucedouglas7950]

I think it would be fun to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Germany and then see part 2 in London. On Saturdays the matinee is 1:00 pm in Germany and 7:00 pm in London. It would be tight considering that it's 3.5 hours in Germany, but could be possible with the time difference (would also be fun to compare)!

[@scrambledmeggs]

Only sorta-stagey, but my friend flew back from the WWC in Melbourne to Seattle in the US, landed at 6:25pm, I picked him up with a pizza in the back seat, and we made it to a show downtown at 7:30! I feel your excited-stress in this vid SO HARD! (And yes, he slept 14 hours the next day 😂)

[@Reign-Drop]

Hats off to you, guys! You’ve done it!👏🇬🇧

[@Danielle_nl]

❤ this challenge! Well done! Maybe you can start in Germany and go to Austria for another show?

[@rburns5495]

Simply brilliant!

[@ThexImperfectionist]

I bet there is some kind of regional theatre or touring production in Buffalo, NY and then you could cross the border to Toronto? Seattle/ Vancouver?

[@amychappo3897]

The best chance would be to see a matinee in Buffalo and then drive across the border to Niagara Falls for the night show.

[@maxhawes-j3u]

So happy you posted the sequel to this trilogy!! I was wondering why you were watching a matinee in Amsterdam?!

[@BellePullman]

LOL what a crazy fun challenge! *waves back to the flight steward* I wonder if next year you'd be able to do Starlight Express twice in one day... probably too much, Bochum is easy to get to from Dusseldorf airport but not THAT fast.

[@ilseruwalder1499]

❤ this challenge! Anything stagey and crazy... love it!! I still have to do a thriple show day...

[@CoachJenW]

If it doesn’t have to be the same show. I think Chester’s story house and Clewd theatre would be a potentially doable England/wales one. Off course with panto season having some morning shows - could you do a three show day?

[@barbaraz8264]

Wow! What a great video this was. Well done!!

[@ahmedaydi8477]

London & Dublin in one day!

[@yankee04]

Well done. This was fun. Thanks. 👑 👑

[@maurinet2291]

I wasn't sure what this video was going to be but I really enjoyed it! You guys looked exhausted at the end, I hope you went home and got rest. That was quite a day.

[@IshScout]

Love the shout out to the Orlando airport's iconic monorail (it really is the perfect 1st ride when visiting us) I almost did a 1 day trip to NY for my Birthday seeing 1 show & possibly flying back in the same day. Sadly I haven't done it yet but that's the kind of chaos I love so this was such a blast to watch.

[@lexterminate]

fellow Floridian in Ft. Lauderdale, but I sometimes do 1 day trips to New York and do 2 show days, but what I do is I fly in super early in the morning and then go back to the airport around midnight and catch the first flight at 6 am the next day. It's INSANE.

[@katyr2382]

Loves this 💛🤍💚❤️🩷💙

[@ConnorN22]

I was not expecting fo you to mention AllEars!

[@interspace11]

Do the selfies that the cast take at the end get posted anywhere?

[@Amy-zq5kn]

Schipol is the WORST for signage. I always struggle to find Security for Departures... why is it so hidden??

[@ashleyj97]

Such a brilliant idea!!

[@susanpolastaples9688]

Congrats. What about Wicked in Finland and a show in Sweden? Or Germany? Have fun in NYC hopefully you're going to see SIX

[@Alice-nt4qr]

There used to be an amusement park at the end of South End pier but there was a huge fire that destroyed it

[@JackieWarner13]

Hmm thinking maybe in Australia during daylight savings(which just started on Sunday) you could do matinee in Sydney then fly up to Brisbane as they're an hour behind & Sydney to Brisbane is 1.5hr flight. Maybe Sydney to Melbourne but you'd be really cutting it close as same timezone & traveling from airport might be a hassle. Or maybe you can do Sydney(or Melbourne or Adelaide) to Perth(6hr flight) as Perth is 3hrs behind Sydney & Melbourne & 2.5hrs behind Adelaide. But Perth & Adelaide sometimes don't get shows so that's why I suggest Sydney & Melbourne more

[@amythomas7054]

I would work this out by distance of the airport from the centre of the city/the theatre.

[@lornawotton6239]

Revolving doors are terrifying, so you are a very brave boy

[@epicemuchilz]

Antwerp Rotterdam is very doable in a day. Also Germany the Netherlands also a possibility. Vienna Bratislava is a one hour drive. 😊

[@tananario23]

He doesn’t drive.

[@TheGadgetPanda]

See the famously super spectacular Rebecca in Vienna and then whip on back to catch the rather more pared-down production at the Charing Cross Theatre.

[@andrerwhaag2734]

41:11 you should do the Show Poster Challenge in NYC with Wait In The Wings

[@XheyJJx]

I reckon you could potentially do 3 x pantos in 3 different uk venues. A morning one around 1030am, a matinee around 2:30pm and an evening around 7pm.

[@mikkeljeppesen7696]

you shud do a challange were you go see as menny difrent shows with in 24 howers, from when the first show start, to the last one ends.

[@emms232]

I feel like maybe a similar challenge could be done between Brno (Czech Republic) and Bratislava (Slovakia), it's about 1:30 h. long car journey...it would be mad rush, but not impossible.

[@yaelhoefs4791]

I could definitely watch a show in my home city of Breda (Netherlands) and then going to Antwerp (which is with traffic maybe and hour drive) to watch another show. But maybe that is cheating a bit 😂

[@lizh1179]

I reckon you could do Scotland and England in the same day - it’s no more than 90 minutes by plane flying from London to Edinburgh!

[@TheChrisw84]

For a moment I thought that was Jack Whitehall moonlighting as a member of the cabin crew! 😂

[@JackieWarner13]

I literally laughed so much at the air hostess guy in the background of the first flight 😂😂

[@joeevans5770]

ULTIMATE PLOT TWIST

[@mwmheps]

Such a fun challenge

[@TJJQ24893]

Spain and Portugal could work. There is also an hour time difference, a flight from Madrid to Lisbon takes less than an hour and a half and, with both countries in the EU, there shouldn't be much hassle at the airport either.

[@jamestrainadventures9881]

Time difference would make Paris to London Eurostar doable 2hr 30 journey becomes 1hr 30 ?

[@Nikki-tx6kh]

Vienna, Austria and Bratislava, Slovakia are only 30min drive for each other. You can totally see a matinee on one and an evening show in the other with time to spare.

[@yoyolovesmovies]

You could catch a matinee in Cardiff and an evening in Bristol?

[@scribbly2983]

I travel through Amsterdam due to family nearby and the airport there is crazy fast. I've traveled with a kid (no kiosks allowed) and I've been through passport control and had my bag in under ten minutes.

[@suzannevoorn2099]

In 2024 Jesus Christ Superstar will tour The Netherlands with a dutch cast (amazing Dutch artists and musical performers) but English spoken and sung. I think you can make a Two show in 2 countries day if you watch the matinee at 14:00 (100 minutes & no break) in Maastricht (on sunday 10th of march) And drive to Cologne in Germany which is aprox 1,5 hours by car to watch Moulin rouge there at 19:30 (this is then a german spoken show). But should be fun & doable ;)

[@MrEj7ak]

London matinee Edinburg evening performance? Just a thought

[@gotofalograce9926]

Maybe lion king or frozen in Hamburg could work?

[@joshuanesbit]

London and New York next? 👀

[@amychappo3897]

The biggest challenge would be to see Les Miz in Paris and then in London. Given the length of the show, it may not be physically possible...but there in lays the challenge 😅

[@joshuanesbit]

Mcgluten at the mcestablishment haha

[@serinamak]

This is thrilling!!

[@Raina92]

Just chaos lol 😂😂😂

[@RaymondNYC1]

Reminds me of when Phil Collins performed at Live Aid in both London & Philadelphia in the same day lol

[@AthynVixen]

Could you do say Newcastle and a Scotland?

[@ellies3906]

Get the eurostar to and from Paris

[@kathleenewing3673]

Insanity. Maybe see who can get the best TKTS tix for the lowest price next?

[@amycarcaterra8177]

canada and the usa we have to go through customs

[@PS-DLMA]

Ya might be able to pull off New Zealand and Australia - time zones could work in your favour.

[@neilwaldock6272]

Particularly Auckland to Brisbane as Queensland doesn't have Daylight Savings, so 3 hour difference in summer.

[@PS-DLMA]

@@neilwaldock6272 well Auckland is 2.5hrs ahead of Adelaide, and 5hrs ahead of perth. So very doable

[@ThomasClarkeComedy]

I did six in London on one night and then six in Amsterdam the next it was sooooo good! You had to one up me didn’t you haha 😜

What about 5 shows, five countries in 5 days. I think that is feasable

[@ben_the_cat_guy]

The only USA version that could work is probably New York and Vancouver tbh

[@carlito876]

Airport in Amsterdam is great …..so easy

[@Upndouin]

Yeah right 😂

[@EdFortune]

Yes, touching your head to touch wood is a thing. You're essentially calling yourself a 'blockhead' - "my head is wood". Works fine for superstition because it's all about intent and sympathy.

[@paulybarr]

At ten minutes in, I'm waiting for the boys to realize that, because they gain an extra hour on their outward journey, they then lose an hour going home.

[@MickeyJoTheatre]

It's the other way around!

[@tananario23]

You’re wrong, oops!

[@zacharyowen93]

Do it 6 times

[@oravenheart]

WHAT

[@44nobody]

🧦

[@ANightworkerslife]

Hmm Mickey.. I'm so sorry, there is wood to to touch.. you are just looking in the wrong direction.......@aeronjames
