About the Show

An exuberant, pop celebration of 21st century girl power featuring the wives of Henry VIII.

This is not a story you'll find in the history books. This cult hit musical reimagines the wives of Henry VIII, not as Tudor queens, but as empowered 'Pop Princesses' who are taking back the narrative and telling their stories from their own unique perspectives, backed by an all female band.

'Six' premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2017 before transferring to the West End. The original Broadway opening night was scheuled for March 12, 2020, which was the day all of Broadway shut down because of the pandemic. It finally officially opened on October 3, 2021.

The musical was nominated for eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score (by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss). The cast (Adrianna Hicks, Andrea Macasaet, Brittney Mack, Abby Mueller, Samantha Pauly, and Anna Uzele) also won the Ensemble Drama Desk Award.

Thought-provoking, Epic, Refreshing, Great singing, Entertaining

See it if for a female lead show (including the band!), you are fan of history (esp the Tudor period) or want a fun night out

Don't see it if Concert staged pop shows aren't your thing, if bright or flashing lights bother you, you are Tudor or history purist,or abuse mentions Read more

Must see, Great singing, Funny, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you're down for a smart, witty thrill ride of a show. Some powerhouse singing and dancing all neatly packed into 85 minutes.

Don't see it if you need a traditional story. This is by no means just a concert but the narrative is cleverly weaved rather than directly told. Read more

Great singing, Entertaining, Delightful, Clever

See it if You want to hear great singing, along with a few good laughs. It's a very entertaining show. The wives of Henry the 8th telling their tale

Don't see it if You want a show with a plot. Six is more like a concert, with each singer telling their tale.

Wonderful, Concert, Woman power!, Clever, Absorbing

See it if You love the tutors, concerts, women empowerment, and a concert feel

Don't see it if you are against having an all-woman cast
