Six the Musical Tickets
Six the Musical takes the familiar story of England's notorious King, Henry VIII and his unfortunate six wives and turns it into a genre-busting musical. If you remember the rhyme ‘Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived’ from your history lessons, you’ll know that Henry's wives had plenty to complain about. Writers Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss take up the challenge and have written a spectacular musical that’s also a pop concert, with each of the six famous queens-turned-pop-princesses competing to sing their hearts out about how Henry did them wrong and who had it hardest.
Critics love Six the Musical’s sassiness – the Evening Standard say ‘Yaas Queens: The first musical to reopen in the West End is a glorious, exuberant, 75-minute blast’
‘The ladies are making it reign’ –The Guardian, the Daily Mail says ‘Tudor girl power making audiences lose their heads’ summing it up as ‘Part pop concert, part beauty pageant, it's a mock-Tudor Love Island, fusing The Spice Girls with Horrible Histories’.
Six the Musical
It’s a riotous, feisty celebration of girl power with Six the Musical. Book your Six ticket and head over to London’s Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand for a powerful evening full of charm, with a musical whose songs are so good they’ve become a successful gold studio album. Writers Marlow and Moss took Six the Musical with its Tudor divas to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017. It instantly proved a big hit and has since gone on to professional productions not only in the West End, but on Broadway and internationally. Nominated for five Olivier awards in 2019 this is one production that stands the test of time.

Critic reviews
There’s no way you should miss the queens
Joyous production that audiences of all ages can enjoy
Hugely enjoyable show that leaves you feeling empowered
The most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre I have ever had the privilege to watch
Packed with brilliantly timed dialogue and excellent pop-inspired tunes
The show feels like it’s the best it’s ever been
The “extra” tone and cheekiness is highly entertaining
It's rowdy, it's raucous and a whole lot of headlessonistic, decaptivating fun
Long may these witty queens reign over the West End
Dynamism that matches the best the West End has to offer. Six is a marvellous show. A royal treat.
This is a madcap, frenetic, hugely entertaining history remix
Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour and co tell their stories in a lively new musical that makes serious points about how women are erased from history
A totes hilarious (but vacuous) pop musical about Henry VIII's wives
Tudor history goes pop in musical reimagining as told by a girl band made up of Henry VIII’s wives
