The shorter duration means families and couples can see other attractions around Birmingham. Concert Hall at the BJCC does not enforce a dress code, however we recommend casual outfits.

Play Summary

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, viewers witness the ex-wives grow from victims into healed individuals. Joining forces, they turn their contest into a stunning pop concert that promotes girl power.

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

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

Modern pop showtunes

Theatergoers and critics alike rave about Six's unforgettable 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 help but grooving in their seats as the music fully immerses them. The show provides 10 unique songs, including:

• "Ex-Wives" (sung by the company)
• "No Way" (Catherine of Aragon)
• "Don't Lose Your Head" (Anne Boleyn)
• "Heart of Stone" (Jane Seymour)
• "Haus of Holbein" (company)
• "Get Down" (Anna of Cleves)
• "All You Wanna Do" (Katherine Howard)

The musical genre evokes elements of girl bands and solo artists to foster the perfect blending of modern and historical. Old and young alike will adore the musical score.
