About
Henry VIII's six wives take back the mic in Six, an 80-minute pop-concert musical at the Lena Horne where each queen sings her side.
Framed as a concert, Six gives Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr each a song styled after pop divas, and lets the audience decide whose story was worst. It is fast, funny and runs without an intermission. If you want a short, high-energy Broadway night, this is the easiest yes.
What to expect
A Broadway house staged like an arena show, with an all-female band onstage and concert lighting. Expect about 80 minutes of back-to-back songs and a crowd that sings along. Costumes glitter, the queens address the audience directly, and cheering is encouraged.
