Everyone remembers the story of Henry VIII and his wives, but Six the Musical is like a history lesson that has been sprinkled with glitter and sass.

The Broadway and West End hit, which made its debut at the Norwich Playhouse in 2018, is 80 minutes of feminist, feel-good pop music.

It is an exhilarating and empowering production that takes the traditional tale and turns it into a fiercely modern, energetic and unforgettable experience.

What truly sets Six apart is its incredible cast - they are a powerhouse of talent.

The Queens bring an incredible amount of charisma to their performances.

Despite sharing a common fate, each queen is given her own unique voice, allowing the audience to see them as individuals rather than mere historical figures.

The cheeky references to modern pop culture and the witty one-liners had the audience in stitches.

Jane Seymour (Erin Caldwell) and Catherine Parr (Aoife Haakenson) showcased their unforgettable vocals, with ballads that gave the audience goosebumps. 

The music, composed by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, is an eclectic mix of contemporary pop, rock, and musical theatre styles that effortlessly fuse together to create an infectious and catchy score.

The vibrant costumes, designed by Gabriella Slade, pop with colour and personality - perfectly capturing the essence of each queen.

The choreography, by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, is sharp and dynamic, making the Tudor court feel like a dance floor.

The head chef at the theatre’s restaurant Prelude has also created a vegetarian and vegan mezze-sharing platter that would be fit for a queen.
