Six (stylised SIX in all caps) is a musical with music, book, and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. [1] It is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII, presented in the form of a singing competition/pop concert. In the show, the wives take turns telling their stories to determine who suffered the most from their shared husband, but ultimately seek to reclaim their individual identities and rewrite their stories.

Contents

The musical premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, where it was performed by students from Cambridge University. [2] Six premiered in the West End at the Arts Theatre in January 2019, and has since embarked on a UK tour. [3] [4] It premiered in North America in May 2019 and on Broadway in February 2020. Following a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it officially opened at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 3 October 2021 [5] and has since launched additional touring companies.

A filmed stage production titled SIX The Musical Live!, featuring the original West End cast, was released in UK & Ireland cinemas by Universal Pictures on 6 April 2025. An international release date is set to be announced. [6]

Plot

The six queens consort introduce themselves through biographical pop songs and explain that their band's lead singer will be whoever they determine had the worst experience at the hands of their shared ex-husband, Henry VIII ("Ex-Wives"). Catherine of Aragon recounts how Henry wished to annul their marriage and place her in a nunnery when he began pursuing Anne Boleyn, despite her loyalty to him ("No Way"). In turn, Anne boasts about how Henry wanted her instead of Catherine, then complains of Henry's infidelity, which led to Anne's own flirtations with other men, which were the grounds for her beheading ("Don't Lose Ur Head"). Jane Seymour steps up to take her turn, but is ridiculed for having had an easy time with Henry. However, while admitting she may have been the only wife Henry truly loved, Jane claims that Henry's love was conditional, only guaranteed because she produced a male heir, and that she stood by him despite his many faults ("Heart of Stone").

Themes relating to ideas of female beauty and the sacrifices expected are explored in Hans Holbein's portrait studio. The queens parody a dating app by presenting a choice of potential brides ("Haus of Holbein"). Henry chooses Anna of Cleves [a] for his fourth wife, but soon rejects her and annuls the marriage, claiming she failed to resemble her "profile picture". She makes a show of complaining about living in a palace in Richmond with an enormous fortune and no husband telling her what to do but ends up bragging about her life instead ("Get Down"). The other queens question this, and Anna admits her lavish lifestyle lacked actual tragedy then drops out of the competition. The queens next mock Katherine Howard [b] claiming she's "the least relevant Catherine," but in retaliation she exposes flaws in the others' claims to winning. Katherine recounts her romantic history, having had many suitors even as a child, and at first relishes her attractiveness before later revealing the emotional trauma and sexual abuse she faced in each of these relationships ("All You Wanna Do").

As the queens continue to fight over who the true winner is, the final wife, Catherine Parr, questions the point of the competition, which defines them by their connection to Henry rather than as individuals. They nonetheless continue to argue. Frustrated, Parr details her separation from her lover, Sir Thomas Seymour, and arranged marriage to Henry; however, instead of simply complaining about her situation, she acknowledges her accomplishments independent of Henry ("I Don't Need Your Love"). The other queens, realizing they have been robbed of their individuality, abandon the contest and declare that they don't need Henry's love to feel validated as people. They use their remaining moments onstage to rewrite their stories, singing together as a group rather than as solo artists, and writing their own 'happily ever afters', imagining that Henry had never married them: Catherine of Aragon rejects Henry's marriage proposal and moves into a nunnery where she joins the gospel choir that reaches the top of the charts, Anne Boleyn changes some words in a poem Henry sends her and puts a beat on it, leading to Anne writing lyrics for William Shakespeare, referred to as "Shakesy P", Jane Seymour makes a band with her family after the birth of her son called the Royal-ing Stones, Anna of Cleves moves to the Haus of Holbein where she shows Holbein's mates "how to party" and now tours Prussia, Katherine Howard takes up music and dedicates her life to her career as a singer, and Catherine Parr finds the other five women after hearing and enjoying their work, and the sextet record an album together. ("Six"). They then perform a mashup of songs that appeared earlier in the show excluding "Haus of Holbein" in which the audience have their permission to film ("Megasix"), depending on which production they are attending. The filming of the MegaSix is not permitted in the North American productions of the musical.

In late 2016, Toby Marlow was selected by the Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society to create and write a new musical that would be presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017. Marlow, who was in his final year at Cambridge University, created a concept for a musical that would involve re-telling the story of King Henry VIII's ex-wives. [7] He partnered with another student, Lucy Moss, who began working on a concept for the musical together.

As they began working on the musical, Marlow researched the ex-wives stories by reading Antonia Fraser's The Six Wives of Henry VIII, while Moss viewed a documentary series, Six Wives by Lucy Worsley. They also watched and drew inspiration from the 2011 Beyoncé concert and story-telling performance, Live at Roseland: Elements of 4 . [8] The foundation for the musical was written over the course of approximately 10 nonconsecutive days. [9]

In developing the characters, Marlow and Moss were inspired by several real-life pop stars who were used as a composite and musical inspiration for the characters. The six ex-wives and their corresponding pop star inspirations are:

Production history

Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2017)

The world premiere production of Six took place at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as a presentation by the Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society. [2] The musical ran from 31 July 2017 until 14 October 2017. The cast consisted primarily of students from Cambridge University. Megan Gilbert originated the role of Catherine of Aragon, Ash Weir originated Anne Boleyn. Holly Musgrave originated the role of Jane Seymour and Oliver Wickham not only originated, but was the first non-binary cast member to play Anna of Cleves. Katherine Howard was modelled after Toby Marlow's sister Annabel Marlow, who originated the role. Shimali De Silva originated the role of Catherine Parr; she was also the first South Asian cast member to play Catherine Parr. [8] The production's run was sold-out, and led to the musical being invited to return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018. [8] Although the show did not win any major awards at the Fringe, it received positive reviews and buzz, and expressions of commercial interest. [8]

Pre-West End (2017)

Live original Broadway cast recording

Six: Live on Opening Night (Original Broadway Cast Recording) is a live album recorded by the original Broadway cast on their official opening night at the then Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 3 October 2021. This was the first time in Broadway history that an original cast recorded their musical's production album live. [89] The cast recording was released digitally on 6 May 2022. [90] It includes all of the musical numbers in the show, as well as a bonus song by the Broadway alternates. [90] It debuted at #1 on the Billboard's Cast Album charts, and was streamed over 3.5 million times within two weeks of its release. [91] The recording was released on CD and vinyl. [91]

Concept

All six of King Henry VIII's wives are in a band and they are competing to see which queen had the worst fate to see who got to lead the band. They each tell their stories through song and towards the end after Katherine Howard's song they start to argue. But Catherine Parr ends this bickering by saying that they should stop comparing themselves and find something in common with each other, other than their husband. The musical end with Catherine Parr's song and the song 'SIX' all about what they would've liked their lives to be like without King Henry.

Casting

Marlow and Moss lamented the lack of gender diversity within the theatre industry, which caused them to focus on themes of queerness while developing the show. [92] They wanted a cast that was predominantly female or non-binary and the story itself to feature queer narratives in a space which normally didn't. [92]

Historical accuracy

Portraits of the six wives of Henry VIII 6zon.jpg
Portraits of the six wives of Henry VIII

Six is based on real historical events and figures, but it does take artistic liberties in its portrayal of these characters. The musical incorporates some elements of historical fact, such as the marriages, divorces, and executions of the six queens.

The show is based on historical figures with varying degrees of accuracy. Generally, the show is quite sympathetic towards its characters: for instance, it portrays Katherine Howard as a survivor of rape, which is debated amongst historians. [93] Researchers and writers such as Suzannah Lipscomb and Gareth Russell have identified themselves as fans of the show. [94]

Audio production

Rather than the more typical head-worn microphones used in most musicals, the Queens use hand-held radio microphones. Their costumes have a loop to hold these when not in use. Marlow and Moss said that they chose to use handheld microphones "to present a unique experience, something that referenced Beyoncé at Roseland". The Queens also wear in-ear monitors. [95]

Reception

In a review of the Arts Theatre production, Dominic Cavendish of The Telegraph called the show "gloriously – persuasively – coherent, confident and inventive". [96] Lyn Gardner of The Guardian wrote, "It may be cloaked in silliness, but Six makes some serious points about female victimhood and survival." [97]

In a review of the Chicago production, Chris Jones of The Chicago Tribune praised the show as "dynamic" and a "blast", with a "sense of humor and spirited radicalism." Marlow and Moss are "gifted comic writers", he said, and he praised the "musical force of the intensely committed and talented actresses" in the Chicago cast. Jones suggested the show could use 10 more minutes of material that gets away from the plot's singing contest conceit, and toward the emotional center of the characters. He also thought the orchestration of the songs could be more substantial. Jones said Six has an audience that is ready for it, in part because it gets to a complex historical paradox and treats it with verve, the memories of women in history being tied to the life of a man. [98]

Hedy Weiss of WTTW praised the musical as "sensational", singling out each performer in the Chicago cast. Weiss also thought the show makes a convincing case for each character, and in addition to praising the writers, noted the "dynamite direction by Moss and Jamie Armitage, and powerhouse music direction by Roberta Duchak" as well as, "Gabriella Slade’s glittering costumes ... and Tim Deiling’s arena-style lighting". [99] According to Rachel Weinberg of BroadwayWorld, "Six carries out [a] joyful and anachronistic takedown of the patriarchy" through the performances of a "brilliant" cast and a book and score with an inventive and sensational compositional method. [100] Jesse Green of The New York Times wrote that the musical is "pure entertainment", the writing is "wickedly smart", the "terrific singers" of the Chicago cast sell the show "unstintingly", and the production values "befit a splashy North American premiere with Broadway backing." [101]

The reviews for the 2021 Broadway production were positive. Green's New York Times review of the Broadway production labeled it a "Critic's Pick", calling it a "rollicking, reverberant blast from the past". [102] Frank Rizzo of Variety said, "It may not be Masterpiece Theatre , but this 'Six' is a solid '10' for joy." [103] Johnny Oleksinski of New York Post gave the show three stars out of a possible four calling the songs "whip-smart and catchy". [104]

Adaptations

SIX The Musical Live! - Filmed stage production

In June 2022, it was announced that there would be a live recording of the stage production. [111] All of the original West End cast members returned to reprise their roles. [111] Tapings were held on 29–30 June 2022 at the Vaudeville Theatre, with audience tickets sold via a virtual lottery for a performance on 1 July 2022, the final recording day. [112] [113] The professionally filmed live recording, later titled SIX The Musical Live!, released on 6 April 2025 in UK and Ireland cinemas by Universal Pictures. An international release date is yet to be announced. [114]

On 3 April 2025, a single titled "My Girls", written by both Marlow and Moss, and performed by SVN, the Original West End cast's related pop/R&B themed band formed back in the year of 2020 was released to celebrate the film’s release. [115] The film broke several box office records, including the highest opening day figure for a musical ever and became the third highest single day gross for an event film ever. It also opened on the widest screen count for an event film, across 700 venues, surpassing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour . Cinemas across the country have added many more screenings due to popular demand. [116]

Potential film adaptation

In October 2020, co-creators Moss and Marlow confirmed that they were "in talks" about a potential film adaptation of the musical. [117]

SVN

After being in the Original West End cast for Six until the month of November in the year of 2021, principal cast members Aimie Atkinson, Alexia McIntosh, Jarnéia Richard-Noel, Millie O'Connell, Maiya Quansah-Breed and Natalie May Paris all teamed up with the cast understudy Grace Mouat during the year before of 2020 to reunite themselves all together, but in the form of three pre-planned and organised special one-off live stage performances soon to be titled 'The Reunion' on both the 10th and 11th of October respectively which were then decided to be staged at the performance venue of Oval Space in Bethnal Green, London and that the shows were to be performed in front of a live audience, as well as being streamed worldwide on the British theatre show streaming service website 'Thespie'.

Two months later in the month of December in the lead up to Christmas, the group performed there again, but this time with their new 'girl group' themed showcase production performance titled 'GIRL POWER', but due to the recent announcement from the UK Government regarding the recent second COVID-19 Lockdown in the United Kingdom at the time, this performance had to adhere to COVID-19 Pandemic guideline regulations where all 7 group members whilst on and off stage maintained Social distancing and this time, the show was performed without a live audience where it was then professionally filmed live on stage, pre-recorded, edited and then streamed also on 'Thespie' from the 17th, between the two streamed concerts over the space of two months, they were both incredibly successful selling over 12,000 tickets online.

From the start of 2021, the yet-to-be named septet membered group then decided to officially announce and launch themselves as a brand new and upcoming pop music/R&B genre girl group with the band's name to be unofficially decided on a suggestion post by the band's ever so growing and popular fanbase of the 'Sevenation' on Instagram with at the time initially calling them 'SEVEN' after all of the 7 band member's involvement with the musical of Six prior to this, which then shortly became 'SVN' (whilst still retaining the pronunciation of the word 'seven') after being adapted by group founder Atkinson, with the band then officially releasing their first song, a cover of Jessie J's single of 'QUEEN' from her 2018 R.O.S.E album on the 14th of May on both music and video streaming platforms of Spotify and YouTube, which were then shortly followed by two of their own original singles of both "Stars" and "WOMAN" [118] in the month of December.

The year of 2022 was the group's biggest and most productive year yet which saw the group first do their first ever outdoor live gig performance 'SVN At 'The Drive-In' at Meridian Water, Edmonton, London on the 3rd of May, this performance was also filmed by filmmakers Max Boast and Jake Waby as part of footage for an upcoming documentary film titled 'WOMAN: The SVN Documentary' which was then made and directed by Josh Baker, who was in fact Mouat’s boyfriend and partner at the time and the film was produced by Boast’s production company MBV Productions, which also featured the group's initial songwriting and recording sessions of their first two original songs of both "Stars" and "WOMAN" at the recording studios of Fiction Studios in Central London, some exclusive band member interviews and real-life everyday conversations, the lead up to the 'Drive-In' performance with both dance studio and pre-show on stage rehearsals and some surprise celebrity appearances from the likes of the YouTube body positivity creator Megan Jane Crabbe aka. Bodyposipanda, Love Island's Amy Hart and Eastenders star Tracy-Ann Oberman which was released exclusively for VIP subscription members of the band's Patreon page a month early to watch privately on YouTube from the 28th of June, as well as officially being released again a month later publicly in July on the 5th, the release of their next single happened the following day, their Pride Summer Anthem of "FREE" on the 6th, [119] their fourth original single "Boss" shortly followed in the month of August on the 11th along with their first ever sell-out Headline gig at the O2 Academy Islington, Islington, London from a few days earlier from that same month on the 7th with another exclusive Christmas themed personal appearance and organised performance from the band's members at the Hamleys Toy Store in Regent Street, London on the 4th of November with their first Christmas single titled "At Christmas" later released on the 23rd.

The group's sixth single titled "Triggered" was released on the 20th of October 2023, with the group also appearing and performing on the 'Main Stage' at the inaugural year of the UK's first-ever Musical theatre fan themed convention event of 'MusicalCON' at the Excel Centre, London from later on that same weekend on both the 21st and 22nd, they returned to perform there again the following year in 2023, but for the first time ever, performing as a five-piece without both the presence of O'Connell and Paris following other performance commitments elsewhere, as well as a secretly organised and surprise ‘Fresher's’ gig performance at Performers College, Basildon, Essex the month before in September on the 23rd minus the presence of Quansah-Breed and then two years later, the band were invited to perform there again in the year of 2025.

After a short hiatus from during the year before of 2024 while all 7 band members were all away doing other individual projects, the group decided to reunite once again with another special 'one night only' concert performance but this time, back at the Arts Theatre in London's West End where it was over 5 years since on the 13th of October 2019 that they all last did the show of Six together as a group cast with the date of the planned performance set to be scheduled for the 1st of December 2025, tickets for this particular concert were so popular with fans that all of the theatre's seats were sold-out from online in only 15 minutes, meaning that two additional matinee and evening performances scheduled for a few weeks later and both on the 15th were then added shortly afterwards for any other fans who missed out on the first show initially.

As recently of the year of 2026, SVN are set to do both their biggest challenge and most audacious project as a girl group to date, their first ever international concert tour from outside of the U.K. where all 7 band members are based originally with a highly anticipated 12 date scheduled concert tour performing in 4 different cities and theatres from all around the country of China starting in Shenzhen, Guangdong from the 9th of January and finishing in the city of Shanghai on the 1st of February.

'SVN's Group Ethos says:

'Diverse in sexuality, body shape and race, as well as boasting incredible vocals, SVN are relatable and empower their young popular female fanbase to be the best they can be through their music and on stage performances.

Notes

  1. ↑ In the musical, the character Anna of Cleves goes by the German spelling "Anna" instead of the traditionally anglicised "Anne". This distinguishing spelling leaves "Anne" for Anne Boleyn.
  2. ↑ The character Katherine Howard is spelled with a 'K', though the historical figure is sometimes spelled Catherine. This distinguishing spelling leaves "Catherine" maintained for the two other wives with that name.
