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.
