King Henry VIII was a Tudor monarch, ruling over England for nearly 40 years. During his time on the throne, he broke away from the Catholic Church and, even more famously, had six wives. You know the rhyme you learned in school to remember the six wives of English king Henry VIII: “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.” But is that all? While history classes have taught us all about Henry VIII, they often spend little time on the wives, focusing mostly on how they died or else got rejected.

In the *SIX* musical, the Queens retell their marriage stories through song. Pitting themselves against one another, each wife takes to the mic to see who had it worst, and the winner gets to lead their girl group. But they realize that constant arguing and pettiness isn’t needed — women supporting women are stronger than any king. Summing up centuries of history into 80 minutes of theatre, the *SIX* queens fix each other's crowns while changing your view on women you only thought you knew. 

*SIX* on Broadway includes plenty of tongue-in-cheek jokes about their deaths and divorces, but it also includes firsthand accounts from the women themselves about what their lives, personalities, and talents are independent of Henry. You won’t get that in the history books — only on the Broadway stage. With a women-only cast (the Queens) and band (the Ladies in Waiting), *SIX* on Broadway puts female power and girlbosses on the map.

The show came out of humble beginnings in England, when creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote it during their last year at Cambridge University. At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, *SIX* caught the attention of producers, and it went on to tour the U.K. and get a five-time Olivier Award-nominated run in London’s West End. The show went on to play Australia and tour the U.S., and *SIX* continues to reign on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

In 2022, *SIX* on Broadway got eight Tony nominations, including Best Musical. The show won for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, for Gabriella Slade’s Tudor-chic-meets-glitzy-popstar designs.

## What to watch for

- Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss weren’t the only people from the *SIX* team that first joined forces at the University of Cambridge. They met the musical director and lighting designer there, too.
- *SIX* is only 80 minutes long because it was written for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which has a time limit for productions. When *SIX* premiered there in 2018, 10,000 people saw the show in one month. 
- There’s a longstanding myth that Henry VIII wrote the English folk song “Greensleeves” for Anne Boleyn. It’s likely false, but the song is referenced in some of Anne’s *SIX* lyrics, and you’ll hear its melody played on the harpsichord when you walk into the theatre.
- The Queens wear different accessories depending on their fate. The divorced women both wear spiked headbands, and the beheaded ones wear chokers.
- Each wife leads her own musical number, but they come together for a techno rave group number, “Haus of Holbein.” See the queens dance in their neon ruff collars and glasses and get ready to “Get Down” with Anna of Cleves right afterward.
- Since the London *SIX* cast recording was released on Spotify in 2019, the songs have been streamed worldwide over 100 million times. In 2022, a recording of the show’s opening night performance on Broadway was released as a live album, further dominating *SIX*’s reign over music streaming. Have you listened to the *SIX* albums?

The Queens’ performance is actually a contest: Whoever had it worst as Henry’s wife gets to be the lead singer of their girl group. Think Spice Girls concert meets the English royal court.

*SIX* won the 2022 Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, and its NYC success came on the heels of acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in London’s West End, and on tour around the U.S. and U.K. New York Theatre Guide raves, “You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll dance. It’s everything a theatre experience should be and more.”

## What to watch for

- Creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote *SIX* during their last year as students at Cambridge University.
- There’s a myth that Henry VIII wrote the English folk song “Greensleeves” for Anne Boleyn. It’s likely false, but the song is referenced in some of Anne’s *SIX* lyrics, and you’ll hear its melody played on the harpsichord when you enter the theatre.
- The Queens wear different accessories depending on their fate. The divorced women both wear spiked headbands, and the beheaded ones wear chokers.
- An all-female band called the Ladies in Waiting plays on stage.

SIX on Broadway Tickets | New York | TodayTix

Six on Broadway is ruling the Lena Horne Theatre through January 3 only! The Tony Award-winning musical has drawn countless audiences from around the world to experience a royal "histo-remix." Get Six tickets on New York Theatre Guide today.

In the space of just a few short years, Six grew from a small festival production to an international musical phenomenon, and like <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>, the *Six* Broadway show has burst out of the theatre bubble and into the mainstream.

The Six musical features the testimonies of the six ex-wives of British royal tyrant Henry VIII — told by the Queens themselves at a modern-day girl group concert. They dispute who should be the lead singer of the group, agreeing it should be whoever received the poorest treatment from their former husband. The Queens battle it out with scintillating solos and a handful of gratifying group numbers to boot.

Each Queen is inspired by present-day pop divas. While Catherine of Aragon carries herself like Beyoncé, Anne Boleyn rocks out more like a "Sk8er Boi"-era Avril Lavigne. The smooth tones of an Adele-esque Jane Seymour contrast nicely with Anna of Cleves, who gives us her best Nicki Minaj. And while Katherine Howard brings us seduction à la Britney Spears, the survivor Catherine Parr rounds out the group with the gravitas of Alicia Keys.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote Six at 21 years old during their final year at Cambridge University. Presented by Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, this fresh new musical caught the attention of producers Kenny Wax and Global Musicals, who would bring Six to the Arts Theatre in London's West End in December of that year. Its success snowballed from there, spurred on by the release of the original cast recording in September 2018, which earned the show a global following. Six toured the U.K. and later returned to the West End for an open-ended run.

The "little show that could" was honored with five Olivier Award nominations in 2019, including Best Musical in a category that also included Come From Away, Fun Home, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.

Following a North American premiere in Chicago in May 2019, the U.S. cast toured to Cambridge, Massachusetts; Alberta, Canada; and St. Paul, Minnesota. The show shuttered temporarily on its would-be Broadway opening night in 2020, but its eventual 2021 premiere earned Six on Broadway eight Tony nominations and two wins, for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design of a Musical.

## Is *Six* still on Broadway?

*Six* is currently playing on Broadway. The show has been in performances since February 2020, and tickets are available now.

## Where can I watch *Six* the musical?

Designed by Herbert J. Krapp for the Chanin Brothers, the Lena Horne Theatre officially opened as the Mansfield Theatre in 1926. Between the years of 1933 and 1945, the venue fell into disuse until it was purchased by Michael Myerberg and subsequently leased to CBS for television productions under the name of CBS Studio 59.

In 1960, the building was renamed after the former New York Times theatre critic Brooks Atkinson. The Nederlander Organization acquired partial ownership in 1967 and full ownership in 1974.

The theatre was renamed in 2022 for Lena Horne, the Black performer and civil rights activist who was active on Broadway for nearly 50 years. The Lena Horne Theatre is the first Broadway venue to be named for a Black woman.

## How to get to the Lena Horne Theatre on Broadway

The Lena Horne Theatre is closest to the 50th Street subway stop on the C and E lines. The nearest bus stop is 8 Av/W 46th St. on the M20 and M104 lines.
