Summary

Many people learned about Henry VIII in school. Does the rhyme, "divorce, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived", jog your memory? The Broadway show Six takes a accurate but fictionalized approach to reproducing the story.

Throughout the show, the audience witnesses the ex-wives transform from victims into thriving individuals. Joining forces, they turn their competition into a enthralling pop concert that promotes girl power.

One unique aspect of this play includes an villain who never appears on stage. The minimalist cast includes only the six ex-wives and a small selection of chorus. This historical remix features the following six main characters:

• Catherine of Aragon, divorced
• Anne Boleyn, beheaded
• Jane Seymour, whom Henry loved but died giving him a child
• Anna of Cleves, divorced
• Katherine Howard, whom Henry also beheaded
• Catherine Parr, the only wife to survive the king

Contemporary and Catchy Music

Theatergoers and critics both rave about Six's exceptional pop music. Broadway lovers who enjoy singing competitions like The Voice and American Idol will love the fresh perspective of Six. The audience can't resist tapping their feet as the music fully immerses them. The play provides 10 unique songs, including:

• "Ex-Wives" (sung by the company)
• "No Way" (Catherine of Aragon)
• "Don't Lose Your Head" (Anne Boleyn)
