Why see Six?
Move Over Hamilton!
Winner of two 2022 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score.
Move over Hamilton, there's a new soundtrack in town and it's JUST as infectious! Henry VIII's six wives are stepping out from the big man's shadow to take their turn in the spotlight in this epically good new musical! Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX is a celebration of girl power - from the 16th Century to today - and debuted on the West End in 2018 to fantastic reviews. With an infectious songbook and costumes to make Gaga or Queen Bey jealous, this outstanding show pushes the boundaries of musical theatre! Much like Hamilton, Six injects its historical story with modern-day attitudes and modern-day music, serving up a dizzying whirl of pop and comedy, and an all-female cast. Don't miss it!
What Is Six About?
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Katherine Parr. You know the names, and you may know how each of their marriages to a certain king came to an end, but these six women are far from just a historical footnote. In Six, the floor is theirs as they tell you what really went down in the court of Henry VIII.

Uplifting Sisterly Sassiness
The Spice Girls might have reunited but they've got a run for their money in the unexpected form of Henry VIII's wives. But unlike their static portraits (and positions in history), these girls can sing and dance and put on a dazzling performance.

SIX did NOT disappoint
Maybe it’s because I’m mildly obsessed with this era of history but I loved this idea when I first heard about it. I love pop music too and found the ST to be VERY hummable and fun. I had memorized all the lyrics before the show so it was very easy for me to follow. I loved every single performer their voices both alone and blended were spectacular. The costumes lighting and music - all fantastic. To people who say the Queens are “only about marriage and sex†well YEAH that’s the point - this wasn’t a time when women were allowed many rights even royalty. The musical DOES tell us that both Anna of Cleves and Katherine Parr accomplished things separately from
Henry VIII. Anyway this was so much fun and I loved it and would see it again. ... Read more

Pump up the volume a bit and Fix Jane's Dress
I just saw opening night and it was a lot of fun. THe volume could have been louder as the vocals need the extra punch of amplification at a level they were not getting. Wife 5, who's song is rocking, seemed to be having throat issues but did her best. I think a little more amp could have helped. I had a great time, but I could not stop focussing on how weird Jane's (Wife 3) dress is. I initially thought she must have been a stand-in and they could not get the dress right. It really looked like it was made for a curvy woman at least a foot taller than she. Proportions all wrong. Her voice was amazing, tho! ... Read more

SO EASY TO LOVE THIS MUSICAL
My wife and I are simply visiting Edmonton for a vacation and took in Six last night. What a fun show from start to end, with great energy non-stop. The Six wives are great. They are all amazing singers and performers. Have to also give great kudos to all 4 of the musicians. Guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards all mastered by amazing, talented individuals. To the producers and directors - keep this group together, they are a great team. Suggestion to others - go and see this show, it is for everyone. I am going to go and see it again this afternoon. ... Read more
