What is Six the Musical about
Remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a feel-good celebration of 21st century girl power, Six the Musical spills the tea on the six wives' private lives.
The last time Henry VIII's wives were given a platform, it was for their execution, now the Tudor wives have been given a voice, which they use to perform killer harmonies. Packed into a punchy 75 minutes, Six the Musical goes beyond the famous rhyme, and allows the Queens take centre stage and retell their stories of love and loss. Crammed full of ballads, raps, and neon ruffs, this royally fun musical champions self-worth and healthy, platonic relationships. There's no doubt about it, these Queens rule!
Six the Musical continues to make history
Winner of over 35 international awards, including two 2022 Tony Awards, a Whatsonstage award, and nominated for five Oliviers, Six the Musical can be seen (divorced, beheaded and) live around the world, and across the UK on its current sell-out, and record-breaking tour.
