Six

See it if Exceptional voices! Really! Great, fun music! Smart, insightful story & lyrics . Every song is a delightful hit.

Don't see it if You don't like pop concerts even when widening one's historical horizons.

Also What a clever concept! Very intelligent & insightful adaptation of the history.
The more you know about the wives of Henry VIII, the more you will get out of this. Read up before you go.
The adoring fans were very respectful of the music, holding all their boisterous applause until the end of every song.... Read more Read less

See it if You are interested in the wives of Henry VIII. Very clever concept. Amazing music, incredible vocals. It's a very fun night out.

Don't see it if If you want to see a traditional musical. It's staged like a concert w/ each getting a # to tell their story + several group numbers.

Also If you aren't super familiar with the six wives I would recommend reading up on them as there are many lines and lyrics that might go over your head if you aren't somewhat familiar.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a live music video. The cast were all excellent singers. They were better than the material.

Don't see it if you want a plot and characters you care about. This was a cartoon. An extremely loud show with songs that all basically sound the same.

Also Also, don’t see it if you won’t enjoy constant jokes about beheading and additional jokes about miscarriages. For some reason, unknown to me, the audience seemed to really enjoy it.
I also thought that the nominal plot totally reinforced old stereotypes of women not getting along and catfighting. Why would a play with an all female cast and all female band want to perpetuate those stereotypes? I found it offensive. There were many young girls in the audience who had been brought there by their parents. What were they to make of it? The parents probably thought it was a feminist play somehow because it was about women, but I don’t think it was. It was very retro in its message. Since I really did not enjoy the show I had time to examine the costumes which I thought were particularly unflattering in some cases. Lighting very harsh and repetitive, going on and off and in repeating patterns, not much beyond that. In fact, the flashing became pretty annoying.... Read more Read less

See it if you like your British history served with a dash of social media lingo and a pinch of Spice Girls energy; want to be “in” on all the hype.

Don't see it if expecting a super-serious or overly-ribald show: Six stays on the sillier and sensual side without much severity or offense; misogynistic.

Also Six: The Musical has a lot going for it—and areas that are or feel underdeveloped. A highly-energized, dance-party-esque interpretation of the six wives of Henry VIII for contemporary audiences, Six is at its best when it dips into the history of each wife and then extrapolates it for modern connections and clever puns. I find the show fun and nicely-irreverent, but it’s also a rather simple 80-minute show, a “song-off” among the ex-wives (Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived—in that order) competing for title of (most-suffering) Queen that really, in the end, is a celebration of good ol’ girl power. The voices are great: Abby Mueller’s song as Jane Seymour—while the tamer in sound—is, to me, a standout. But lyrics are too juvenile, lacking, and limp: I can’t help feel sorry for how this show could have been and sounded. Still, it’ll find its audience, and easily, because it does hold your attention, heart, and head! You’ll research the wives (and their ex) afterward.... Read more Read less

See it if you want a rock concert of the 6 wives of Henry the VIII. Not much dialogue, and not much book. Great voices. OK music. Fun, short evening

Don't see it if You like a traditional book musical. Want more than 6 solos and a few group numbers.

See it if several great pop numbers in a concert-style musical reimagining the fates of the wives of Henry VIII. although for a show purporting to

Don't see it if rewrite history, it fell short...it wasn't nearly as smart or as subversive as it claims (and clearly desperately wants) to be...that said,

Also it was a lot of fun, and I've been humming a few of the songs since I saw it. It's definitely worth a night out. just don't expect to be blown away by the story... Read more Read less

See it if You're a pop music fan, feminist, history buff, or in your 30s.

Don't see it if You can't appreciate pop.

See it if you enjoy learning about history in theatre, love pop music, or are just looking to have a great time. Great female empowerment piece.

Don't see it if you are looking for a classic musical. This is more of a concert. It was a little strange they used American accents.

See it if Divas.Divas.Divas. If you like rocking' concert-like shows with flashy costumes and flashing lights this is for you.

Don't see it if No plot to speak of basically a concert framed around a history lesson.

Also Although it times out at 80 minutes this is a full evenings worth of entertainment. Framed as a contest between the glam-clad wives of Henry VIII as to who got the rawest deal, this feminism-lite show gives six great vocalists a chance shine. Earwormy tunes, cutting lyrics and diva choreography are catnip for the screaming teens in the audience.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You want a traditional musical with a clear plot, elaborate sets, and jokes that don’t get a bit repetitive.

See it if The Tudors interest you. The lyrics are clever and tell the story of each wife & why they didn't last. Funny with great harmonizing.

Don't see it if You don't care about Henry VIII & how he treated his wives. If you need a plot, this is not your play.

See it if you want to learn about six wives of Henry VIII in a fun, entertaining way through great music & vocals including msg of female empowerment.

Don't see it if You want historical exploration of the Tudors. Plot thin.

See it if you like shows with minimum plot aimed at a generation that grew up watching singing competitions.

Don't see it if Not interested in historical shows

Also I loved the show. Need to wear hearing device to block out noise & hear lyrics. Loved show of all female cast & band... Read more Read less

See it if You already love the album. You want something short, poppy, and energetic.

Don't see it if You expect sincerity, originality, wit, or an actual message.

Also The crowd went wild from the moment the lights went down. It felt like I had stumbled into a concert where everyone was a rabid fan, and I was just stupefied. Nothing about the show seems especially clever, thoughtful, well-written, or well-designed. It’s feminist message is tacked on as lazily as possible, and at the end of the night, it’s 70 minutes of concert at Broadway prices. This is fringe festival material being sold at bogus prices.... Read more Read less

See it if HERstory contest about the six wives of Henry VIII, fun, clever, electric, entertaining.

Don't see it if I’m not a fan of girl groups or pop music, so I went in a bit skeptical (I admit I had FOMO)... overall a good time.

Also Do you know their names and their fames and their faces ... divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!

Understudies for Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr.... Read more Read less

See it if Pleasure for eyes and ears,good costumes,quality music which is not covering vocal,funny conversations between songs,cheerleading energy

Don't see it if It's a concert style show, not too much stuff on stage. A little too often"Hey, NY" from singers. History purist without sense of humor.

Also Professional band on stage.
Every guest receives a gift.
Full room, no empty seats
Video taken by show employees before, during and after performance
Strange entrance security check up via frames.... Read more Read less

See it if Loved the unwinding plot, the staging and the acting.

Don't see it if Lots of times could not follow what the actors were saying due to heavy accents.

See it if If you liked Hedwig, British history, pop concerts, great singing, or any combination of the above. This show thrives on the concert it is.

Don't see it if If you’re looking for a full scale plot, or a snob about history. The energy is through the roof, and rightfully so. Might overwhelm.

Also My minor, MINOR quibble is the songs are a tad repetitive. I repeat... MINOR, like you insist on me being supremely honest. And it’s too short. I know it began life in the Fringe, cool. I wanted more!... Read more Read less

See it if Most people know if they want to see this or not, I thought I wouldn’t. So here is what I would tell me ‘see it if you loved Altar Boyz’

Don't see it if There’s no place in this theater for a conservative audience (and in my opinion there isn’t any place in theater period for them anymore)

See it if you're in the mood for a jolt of energy and attitude, six terrific performers raising the roof with beautifully catchy songs and great humor

Don't see it if you're expecting a traditional musical... this is definitely more of girl-band concert/revue that's delightful but don't expect sets etc.

Also If you feel like some royalty-related entertainment - skip the abysmal Diana and head over instead to Six for one of the most fun nights on Broadway!... Read more Read less

See it if You want a fun night of great singing! It’s a brisk bounce through history with some BANGIN pop jams and vocal performances.

Don't see it if You’re looking for anything with depth. Very surface level but it never presents itself to be anything that it’s not

Also Abby Mueller is my everything. That is all.

See it if You want a night of girl power, fun and great entertainment. I smiled non stop

Don't see it if You are looking for a “real” play. This is more like a concert or revue

See it if You want to have a fun night. Six supremely talented singers portray Henry VIII’s wives. They banter wittily in between fantastic songs.

Don't see it if You want a traditional musical. The threadbare “plot” is a contest to determine which wife had it worst. If you dislike pop, steer clear.

Also It’s hard to be critical about a show which pretty much consists of six incredible performers singing finely crafted pop songs. Nearly every song sounds like it could have been a hit for the likes of Beyoncé or Ariana Grande. Each wife has a distinct personality. Andrea Macasaet’s vapid Anne Boleyn and Brittney Mack’s puckish Anna of Cleves provide much of the comic relief. Anna Uzele’s vocals as the Alicia Keys-like Catherine Parr are arguably the most mind blowing. The jokes rarely fall flat. The basic staging and girl group-like choreography contribute to the feel of being at a concert rather than a musical. Learning about the often tragic lives of these women, I sometimes longed for a more subtle and thoughtful approach. For example, mention of Katherine Howard’s childhood sexual abuse fits awkwardly in her Britney Spears inspired number. Nonetheless, Six is a blast. Just don’t walk in expecting a PBS special.... Read more Read less
