What is Six the Musical Live About?
Six the Musical Live takes a playful yet historically accurate look at the many turbulent marriages of English monarch, Henry VIII. The controversial king continues to court infamy and admiration for how he separated his kingdom from the Roman Catholic church, events set in motion by his unprecedented divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
You remember the school rhyme, divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded survived. This vibrant production, recorded live from London's West End, is a modern retelling that explores Henry VIII's tumultuous love life through the prism of his six marriages, examining the profound impact it had on the physical, political and religious landscape of the United Kingdom.
The production reimagines the struggles of the various women as an empowering pop anthem, ensuring that they will not be forgotten in the annals of time.
