Six

Recently Updated

“Six” is a British musical that reimagines the story of Henry VIII’s six wives as a modern-day pop concert. Each queen takes the stage in turn to share her story, accompanied by a live band and backup dancers. The musical explores themes of sisterhood, empowerment, and the objectification of women throughout history.

The show features an all-female cast, with each queen having her own unique style and personality, from Catherine of Aragon’s regal ballad to Anne Boleyn’s fiery rock anthem. The score is heavily influenced by contemporary pop music, with catchy songs and dynamic choreography that make the show a high-energy spectacle.

Despite its modern take on history, “Six” still manages to pay homage to the historical figures it portrays, highlighting their strengths and struggles while also exposing the ways in which they were marginalized by the patriarchal society of their time. The show has been a critical and commercial success, receiving numerous awards and enjoying sold-out runs in London’s West End and on Broadway.
