From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st century girl power! This new original musical is the global sensation that everyone is losing their head over! SIX won 23 awards in the 2021/2022 Broadway season, including the Tony Award® for Best Original Score (Music and Lyrics) and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. The New York Times says SIX"TOTALLY RULES!" (Critic's Pick) and The Washington Post hails SIX as "Exactly the kind of energizing, inspirational illumination this town aches for!" The SIX: LIVE ON OPENING NIGHT Broadway album debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard cast album charts and surpassed 6 Million streams in its first month. SIX includes flashing lights, strobe effects, theatrical haze and loud music throughout.
A must see! The energy is amazing, the cast is incredible, the band is phenomenal, and the technical aspects are wonderful.
I was not sure how I would feel at a musical about Henry's wives. I got tickets because my sister was so excited. It was awesome. I would definitely see Six again. It was so much fun I got a t shirt and crown for my sister and a t shirt and tote for myself.
I didn't realize the plot would be so "teenagerly". I wanted to learn about the wives... and I did! So that's a good thing. It's just that I'm 63-years-old, and found it to be a bit corny and cutesy. I decided that I would leave at the intermission but there was no intermission. If I had a granddaughter, she would probably have loved it. But for this Broadway snob... I'll pass.
This show was fun, energetic and entertaining. I wish I could have learned history this way like my kids get to. The costuming was great. The choreography was minimal but fun! Loved the rhetoric between the queens and the songs were fantastic and fun!! We enjoyed it!
Fun show; last year's cast better, but good time, nonetheless. Just wish band would allow for singing and speaking without yelling into the mics
Very fun quick (80 min) show. There is some innuendo so leave the pearl clutchers and young children at home. The songs were catchy and the vibe was amazing. Would definitely recommend and see again.
This show was so great!! My niece and I had such a great time. It was full of great songs, good moves, laughs, and tender moments. I’ve listened to the soundtrack several times since attending and I would totally see it again.
I loved the energy, the music, and the singing. Great show!
The singing, music and dancing were great - but it was a bit of a different kind of musical I'm used to seeing. More like a concert with a little back story. It was very good.
Absolutely loved the show. Music and performances were excellent. Highly recommend. Highlight of our trip!
