SIX:
The Musical!
A pop concert spectacle featuring the six ex-wives of Henry VIII
The global sensation that everyone is losing their head over.
From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st century girl power!
Divorced, Beheaded, Survived.
SIX is a British musical with book, music and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, who met and wrote the show while still University students in the U.K. The musical is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of King Henry VIII, presented as a pop concert, as the Queens take turns singing and telling their story to see who suffered the most due to Henry and should, therefore, become the group’s lead singer.
Henry VIII was King from April 22, 1509 until his death in 1547, but the musical takes its inspiration from the pop music and pop stars of today. See if you and your students can identify which songs are modeled on familiar pop icons.
Uplift and Exhilaration.
The New York Times says SIX is “pure entertainment!” and The Evening Standard hails SIX as “the most uplifting new British musical I have ever had the privilege to watch.”
