The queens are back, and they're beautiful. Since their creation by Cambridge University students Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss in 2017, when they first sashayed before audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, these ritzily reincarnated wives of Henry VIII have stomped their way into the theatre history books. The show - more rock revue than musical - transferred to the West End and became an international hit. Its Broadway opening was delayed by the Covid crisis, but doubtless its conquering of the Great White Way is just a matter of time.A bedazzling sing-off by six women, each determined to wrest back control of her own narrative, Moss and Jamie Armitage's production is slick, witty, and so frenetically charged that resistance is pretty much useless. What's behind the glitter and the gloss, the astonishing vocals and the seductive strut, is in reality not much more profound than the Spice Girls' rallying cry of "Girl Power": it's a case of clever branding rather than serious substance. But it undeniably works: an audience dominated by young women and girls, many of them watching with their mums, whooped their appreciation, faces glowing. This may be feminism-lite, but it ignites powerful passions.And as a spectacle, it's eye-poppingly impressive. Emma Bailey's set, lit with blinding, blingy excess by Tim Deiling, is like a medieval chapel relocated to Las Vegas, purple neon in place of stained glass. Backed by an all-female band, the queens, in costume designer Gabriella Slade's mini farthingales or doublet and hose, crystal-encrusted and flesh-flashing, glide, pop and grind through choreographer Carrie-Ann Ingrouille's high-energy, geometric formations, to songs that musically reference a roll call of fabulous divas&nbsp;—&nbsp;Beyonce, Britney, Ariana Grande, Nicky Minaj, Rihanna, and Adele among them. They're here to decide who's life story was the most tragic - and she who had the worst of it will reign supreme.This is the show's major stumbling, if not chopping, block. Competing to be the biggest victim hardly sounds like empowerment, any more than the catfighting and bitchiness they indulge in; and the last-minute flipflop, in which they claim the whole thing was a set-up designed to make us question our own assumptions, feels like a bit of a cop-out. But if the sexual politics are hazy, the attitude is fierce. The current cast are all phenomenal, but I particularly enjoyed Courtney Bowman's faux-innocent Anne Boleyn, skipping insouciantly through her role in the Reformation via Lily Allen-ish rhymes ("everybody chill, it's totes God's will"), and Sophie Isaacs's Katherine Howard, radiating sparks of fury as she sings about the succession of men who have sexually exploited her.And there's a glorious sequence of overblown fantasy and pounding German techno when Alexa McIntosh's Anne of Cleves, who was famously (and, according to Henry, too flatteringly) painted by Holbein, recalls visiting the artist in his atelier: "Haus of Holbein" sends up beauty standards ("try these heels, so high it's naughty, but we can't guarantee you'll still walk at 40"), and, with the queens adopting oversized sunglasses and ludicrous posturing, reminded me deliciously of the eccentric, body-fascist fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.The songs are insanely catchy, and if subtlety gets gleefully ground beneath the show's rhinestone-studded stiletto heel, that's not what anyone came for anyhow. It isn't profound, but this is a party - and it's unstoppable.SIX runs through 18 April at the <a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/six-the-musical-lyric">Lyric Theatre</a>, then at the <a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/six-the-musical">Arts Theatre</a> from 20 April.Photo credit:&nbsp;Courtney Bowman, center, in SIX: The Musical (Photo by Pamela Raith)

SIX at the Lyric Theatre Review | London Theatre

SIX, ‘the most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre’ (✭✭✭✭✭ The Evening Standard) is the phenomenon everyone is losing their head over!

Critically acclaimed across the UK with a sound-track storming up the UK pop charts, the sell-out intoxicating Tudor take-off is back!

The Vaudeville Theatre opened in 1870, designed by C.J. Phipps. The Vaudeville Theatre is on the Strand, close to the [Adelphi Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/adelphi-theatre) and the [Savoy Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/savoy-theatre). 

Like many West End theatres, the Vaudeville has been closed for a prolonged period of time to allow for renovation work. The current theatre that stands opened in 1926, and has seen plays including *Hedda Gabler* and *Private Lives*. 

## Vaudeville Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels - Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle.

The Stalls offers very good views of the stage. There is a light raking in the seating throughout the Stalls which helps with sightlines, and the legroom is good too.
T
he Dress Circle offers good views of the stage, and feels close to the action due to the intimate size of the theatre. View from Row G onwards are affected by the overhang of the Grand Circle.

Though the theatre is small, the Grand Circle feels quite far from the stage.

## Where is *Six* in London?

*Six* is at the Vaudeville Theatre in London. The Vaudeville Theatre is located on the Strand. It's close to West End theatres including the Savoy Theatre and the Adelphi Theatre.

## *Six The Musical*, an empowering reimagining of six iconic queens

Henry VIII’s ex-wives finally get the spotlight they deserve in this historical reimagining. Experience the ultimate pop concert as Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr tell you their stories in a series of girlband-esque performances. *Six* features an all-female cast and all-female band with a score that takes inspiration from pop superstars, such as Adele, Ariana Grande, Avril Lavigne, Jessie J, and more.

## What is *Six The Musical* about?

*Six* tells the story of the six wives of Henry VIII like you've never heard before. It brings the queens - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr — right into the 21st century with a score that includes power ballads, techno beats, and absolute anthems for an unforgettable lesson in history and girl power. There are plenty of incredibly catchy songs by writing team Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, including “Get Down,” “All You Wanna Do,” and “Haus of Holbein” — a techno-infused song based on the German painter. 

## Why do people love Six The Musical? 

We're familiar with the rhyme from history class: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. But we never had the opportunity to learn much more about the lives of Henry VIII’s infamous wives. *Six* is a bold reimagining that delves into their stories with a diverse cast, contemporary references, catchy songs, sparkling costumes, and a heavy dose of female empowerment. The musical is perfect for those who only have time for a short show, with a run time of 75 minutes.

[In a review on London Theatre, our critic raves:](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/six-review-vaudeville-theatre) “Mixing pop concert with theatre, it's a big, joyful welcome to non-traditional audiences and in particular to younger ones, who eagerly whip out their phones to record the finale; rather than fearing social media, Six rules it. It's the jolt of energy that the West End needs.”

## Who wrote Six the Musical?

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote Six the Musical in their final year at Cambridge University. They then took their show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, returning the following year. The pair won a Tony Award for their Six music at the 2022 ceremony.

Divorced, beheaded… live! It’s time to learn about the lives of the wives in this smash hit reimagining of the Tudor era. 
Sweeping up awards on the West End and Broadway, this rock concert imagines what Henry VIII’s wives would say if they got a chance at the mic. 
Check out tickets for *SIX the Musical* at the Vaudeville Theatre today.

We all know ‘that rhyme,’ but hear from the ladies themselves as they remix centuries of hurt into killer riffs and catchy medleys. Putting Henry VIII’s wives on a musical pedestal is all down to its creators, Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow, who wrote Six while in their final year at Cambridge University. The musical was already an internet sensation before it came to London, and then when *Six* opened in the West End in 2019, everybody wanted to go back in time with the Tudors.  

With a female-only cast and band, the *Six* musical puts powerful women on the map. There’s also stunning outfits created by Gabriella Slade that allow each queen to showcase their individuality while all fitting and feeling like a girlband. 

These queens fix each other’s crowns when they’re down, and you’ll discover there’s more to the Tudors than just the ruling monarchs. The only thing you wanna do is book tickets to *Six* on TodayTix today.

## What to Watch For:

- Look out for the queens walking on stage with neon ruff collars and glasses and get ready for a techno mashup for the ages.
- Find out who Henry VIII would have “swiped right” for in a hilarious Tinder-inspired section where Tudor dating is brought to the 21st century.
- Listen out for the Megasix, where all the songs are mashed up into an epic few minutes of fun.
- The original London cast picked up a joint Olivier nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical. Although none of the cast now star in *Six,* they continue to perform together as a girl band named SVN. - 
- Fans world over listen to Toby Moss and Lucy Marlow’s original *Six* music; it’s clocked up over 300 million streams on Spotify.
