SIX Tickets

Six – Henry 8th's six wives are alive and rocking

When Toby Marlow was in his final year at Cambridge University, he had an idea... and it wouldn't go away. His collaborator Lucy Moss had her doubts but got involved anyway, and they both worked hard at it while studying for their finals. The idea? To stage a musical presented as a rock concert, featuring Henry 8th's six wives.

The world premiere of Six took place at the Edinburgh Fringe festival during 2017, and instantly grabbed the attention of a number of producers. It returned to Edinburgh in 2018 before transferring to the Arts theatre in the West End, starring Jarneia Richard-Noel as Catherine Of Aragon, Millie O'Connell as Anne Boleyn, Natalie Paris as Jane Seymour, Alexia McIntosh as Anne of Cleves, Aimie Atkinson as Katherine Howard, Maiya Quansah-Breed as Catherine Parr, plus Grace Mouat as the Dance Captain.

A successful UK tour followed the stint at the Arts, and now Six is back on the road once more, returning to the Arts theatre in early 2019 for a 16 week initial run. Not bad for a random, crazy idea hatched by a couple of students!

This is being called ‘The most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre’ by the Evening Standard, and no wonder when everyone and his dog seem to be losing their head over it, pun intended! The musical has been widely, enthusiastically acclaimed right across the nation, and the sound track has already hit the music charts running.

What can you expect? You'll see a bunch of Tudor Queens transformed into Pop Music Princesses as they tell their stories in song. Together they blend five centuries of heartbreak into a bold celebration of girl power in the 21^st century. This is history.... remixed.

You'll rock the rafters with a host of splendid show tunes: Ex-Wives, No Way, Don't Lose Your Head, Heart of Stone, Haus of Holbein, Get Down, All You Wanna Do, I Don't Need Your Love and of course the title tune, Six itself. Each queen has her say five hundred years down the line, and every one of them is strong and feisty. The costumes are extraordinary, a triumph of wonderful weirdness complete with Tudor ruffs. The tunes are spectacular. And the ladies themselves will knock your socks off with their sassy comeback to the murderous, bullying, bloated Henry.

If you like your revenge sweet, walk this way...
