What is Six the Musical?
Six tells the modern 'herstory' of Henry VIII's six wives, with them retelling their lives in the form of a pop concert. From the divorced, the beheaded, the dead and the survivor, each 'Queen' performs a solo to prove their life with Henry was the worst - with the winner to become the group's lead singer. Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, it's an uplifting and empowering show with a short run time of just 75 minutes. The soundtrack has even taken pop fans by storm, with the cast recording and score picking up multiple awards, featuring songs such as Ex-Wives, Don't Lose Ur Head and Get Down.
