Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. All this time, the six wives of Henry VIII have been reduced to a single rhyme—so they picked up a pen and a microphone. From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the wives take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a 75-minute celebration of 21st century girl power.
This production contains strobe, haze, and choreography and gestures that are sexual in nature.

The Boston Globe
Triumphant! A reminder of the power of each individual voice.
Inspired by pop divas that include Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, and Rihanna, among others but those stars have nothing on the six women performing on the ART stage [who] bring their own spectacular vocals and stunning stage presence to the show.

The two who made ‘Six,’ by melding pop divas and Henry VIII’s wives into a sassy musical
When [Toby] Marlow, then a student at Cambridge University in England, first proposed writing a tongue-in-cheek, pop music-inspired show about the six wives Henry VIII, his friend and classmate [Lucy] Moss was skeptical…Marlow’s brainstorm was to stage the female-empowered show as a pop concert-turned-singing competition featuring each of the queens. Their musical styles would be drawn from Marlow and Moss’s mutual love of pop stars like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Adele, and Sia.
