Six
This is quite the most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre I have ever had the privilege to watch

Their Reign Continues!
Discover the Herstory of England's most iconic queens
The Queens are back - and they're taking on the rest of the UK! With five Olivier award nominations and a 2022 Tony Award for Best Original Score, Henry the VIII's hunt for an heir and his love of beheadings have made him one of the most famous monarchs in Britain's history, with the tale of his six unfortunate wives the stock of any school history lesson. Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, Six tells the story of these women via a brand-new musical!
After a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and West End run back in the autumn of 2018, SIX now returns to bring this high-octane concert-style show across the country. With songs like "Ex-Wives", "Haus of Holbein" and "Don't Lose Ur Head" taking inspiration from contemporary pop to re-write history, Six brings a night packed full of fun, laughter, and six sassy Queens ready to tell their story.

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.
