Play Summary

Many adults learned about Henry VIII in school. Does the rhyme, "divorce, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived", ring a bell? The Broadway show Six takes a somewhat fictionalized approach to reproducing the story.

Throughout the show, the audience witnesses the ex-wives grow from victims into healed individuals. Joining forces, they turn their competition into a enthralling pop concert that promotes girl power.

One innovative aspect of this production includes an antagonist who never appears on stage. The small cast includes only the six ex-wives and a small selection of chorus. 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, beheaded
  • Catherine Parr, survived!

Contemporary and Catchy Music

Fans and critics alike rave about Six's unforgettable pop music. Broadway lovers who can't get enough of 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 play 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)
