SIX the Musical Brings Tudor History to the Stage

SIX the Musical 

SIX reimagines the six wives of King Henry VIII as modern pop icons, transforming their historical experiences into an energetic concert-style musical.

Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the approximately 80-minute production features Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr reclaiming their stories through contemporary music, humour and powerful performances.

The show has developed an international following since its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, going on to enjoy success in London's West End, on Broadway and across numerous international markets.

Its combination of pop music, striking costumes and an empowering message has helped attract audiences well beyond traditional musical theatre fans.
