Program: Six (musical) by Toby Marlow / Lucy Moss.
Six The Musical reimagines the wives of Henry VIII as pop superstars, transforming centuries-old history into a contemporary concert experience. This award-winning British musical, which swept the Olivier Awards and earned Tony nominations, presents each queen—Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr—as they reclaim their narratives through powerful solo performances. Rather than being defined by their royal husband's actions, these women emerge as fierce, independent voices sharing their stories of love, betrayal, and survival.
Expect an electrifying 80-minute experience that feels more like a pop concert than traditional musical theater. The six performers, backed by an all-female band called the Ladies in Waiting, deliver powerhouse vocals across musical styles ranging from Beyoncé-inspired anthems to Adele-esque ballads. The show's contemporary staging, bold costumes inspired by modern pop icons, and direct audience address create an intimate yet explosive atmosphere. It's perfect for musical theater enthusiasts and newcomers alike, particularly those who enjoy modern pop music and empowering female narratives.
The Lena Horne Theatre, formerly the Mansfield Theatre, provides an appropriately intimate setting for this dynamic production. With just over 1,100 seats, this Broadway venue ensures that every audience member feels connected to the queens' powerful performances. The theater's recent renovation and renaming honor the legendary Lena Horne, making it a fitting home for a show that celebrates strong women reclaiming their voices and stories.
