The Tudor Queens are now Pop Princesses!
Six is about the six wives of King Henry VIII who are reclaiming their power and have joined together to form the greatest girl group in history. It’s now time for them to tell their own story, and as they do, they’ll have a friendly competition: whoever was treated the worst by their former husband will become the lead singer of the group.
Six is a new original musical that features a pop score full of power ballads, energetic group numbers, and emotional solos about historical heartbreak that will give you a history lesson like nothing you’ve heard before.
Six: The Musical was written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss with direction by Lucy Moss and Jamie Armitage. The show tells the story of Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catharine Parr. Fans of Six see the show again and again, and some have even made a game of seeing as many new cast members and understudies as they can. Each of these superstar Queens has a huge fanbase!
