See it if Powerful women stories. Rock music and humorous look at history
Don't see it if Double inuendo
See it if This show is absolutely for everybody. It is full of fun and amazing singing and acting and dancing with some brilliant songs.
Don't see it if You are looking for a story to immerse yourself in. This show is the concept of a concert type of story telling.
See it if you like girl power. 6 Queens in stunning contemporary costumes sing their truth - Great music, sharp & catchy lyrics - history with passion
Don't see it if you don’t like concert style musicals. Loud music. Flashing lights.
See it if you would like to watch a nice, light, fun musical
Don't see it if you do not like musical
See it if you love a good time gearing tunes that slap. This is clever and fun and you’ll leave smiling.
Don't see it if you want the vocals to be at the Broadway Six level. The US just has more people, it stands to reason w/a bigger pool we have better singers
See it if you want to enjoy a short, but sweet evening of great and captivating pop music, telling the stories of Henry VIII and his ex wives.
Don't see it if you expect a full length traditional musical- this is staged as a pop concert complete with all the lights and flair you might expect!
See it if You know your history so you can get all the many inside jokes
Don't see it if You like history to be just informative and not fun or feminist retellings
See it if Like non-stop music and plenty of dance. A lot of humor
Don't see it if You don’t like girl bands, silly humour about death or beheading

Four years on from its Edinburgh Fringe debut, the show still feels like a breath of fresh air. The production is also a true ensemble effort ... You’d need a heart of stone to resist.

“The challenge for a new cast is to find a way to make the roles their own, something that’s not a problem here. Indeed, no matter how many of the previous casts you’ve seen, this is the line-up you don’t want to miss. The 2023 Queens make SIX feel like an entirely new show”

I suspect ‘Six’ will be a big hit. But if this is the future of feminism, lop my head off now.

A rather odd show. The costumes are garish, even comical. The singing is outstanding. But the stories told are not, lacking detail, substance and novelty, leading the songs to focus purely on the frivolous and facetious. Catchy music, funny jokes, but an ultimately forgettable performance.

There’s undoubtedly raw talent on display in the writing, and really accomplished vocal performances – but it currently feels undernourished and, even though it runs to just 70 minutes, overlong for what it is.

The songs are insanely catchy, and if subtlety gets gleefully ground beneath the show’s rhinestone-studded stiletto heel, that’s not what anyone came for anyhow. It isn’t profound, but this is a party – and it’s unstoppable.

It may be cloaked in silliness, but Six makes some serious points about female victimhood and survival.

This is quite the most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre I have ever had the privilege to watch and the fact that it comes from two 23-year-olds, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, who graduated only last year, is even more delightful.
