Story

Many adults learned about Henry VIII in history classes. Does the rhyme, "divorce, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived", jog your memory? The Broadway show Six takes a somewhat fictionalized approach to telling the story.

Throughout the show, the audience witnesses the ex-wives grow from victims into thriving individuals. Banding together, they turn their competition into a stunning pop concert that promotes girl power.

One unique aspect of this production includes an antagonist who the audience never sees. The small cast includes only the six ex-wives and the supporting actors. Featuring main characters:

• Catherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife whom he divorced
• Anne Boleyn, the king's second wife whom he beheaded
• Jane Seymour, died
• Anna of Cleves, the king's second divorce
• Katherine Howard, whom Henry also beheaded
• Catherine Parr, survived!

Modern pop showtunes

Theatergoers and critics alike rave about Six's exceptional pop music. Broadway lovers who can't get enough of TV shows like The Voice and American Idol will love the fresh take of Six. The audience can't help but tapping their feet as the music fully immerses them. The show provides 10 unique songs, including:

• "Ex-Wives" (sung by the company)
• "No Way" (Catherine of Aragon)

• "Haus of Holbein" (company)
• "Get Down" (Anna of Cleves)
