When Broadway reopened last year, "Six" was the first new musical to perform since shutting down. From there, "Six" began an ascent that was interrupted, but not halted, by COVID-19.

The show began its life across the pond at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, created by former students of Cambridge University. Each song provides insight into the lives of the women who were largely divorced or beheaded by their shared husband. "Six" is a pop musical with compositions inspired by the likes of Ariana Grande and Beyoncé to create a show in which the six ex-wives of the infamous English King Henry VIII get to celebrate their girl power.Ĭrowds will hear an empowering breakup song from Catherine of Aragon and club music performed by Anne of Cleves.
