Early life and education

Marlow was born on 12 October 1994 to parents Helma and Andrew Marlow and was raised in Henley-on-Thames, England. They have two siblings: an older brother named Jasper and a younger sister Annabel Marlow who is a comedian and singer who is a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live UK, and who originated the role of Katherine Howard in Six at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Marlow's mother and maternal grandparents are Jewish. They were a child actor from the ages of 9 to 14, appearing in several films and on TV, including an appearance on ITV's Marple, in which they played a French boy with glasses. Marlow's father is a professional musician, their grandfather also trained as an actor and their great-grandmother taught speech and drama.\n

Marlow was educated at Abingdon School from 2008 to 2013, and was a member of the Acorn Music Theatre Company in Henley. They went on to study English at Robinson College at Cambridge University. While at Cambridge, they were very active in the ADC Theatre scene, as both a performer and a composer. According to Lucy Moss, their friendship \"solidified\" during the 2015 amateur student production of Rent at the ADC Theatre, during which Marlow played the lead character Angel, and Moss was one of the dancers.\n

Marlow, along with their collaborator Lucy Moss, signed with Warner Chappell Music in August 2019. Six began previews on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 13 February 2020 and was scheduled to open on 12 March 2020.
