Six

The highly anticipated musical Six is set to arrive at the Theatre Royal Brighton this winter, offering a fresh, modern take on a classic historical narrative. This particular show is a musical comedy that gives the six wives of Henry VIII the stage they deserve, allowing them to finally tell their side of the story. It’s a unique concept that has garnered a lot of attention on its tour, and we’ll have the chance to see it locally starting Tuesday, December 1st, 2026, with the run concluding just a few days later on Saturday, December 5th.

If you are considering attending, especially for the opening night on December 1st, the curtain goes up at 8:00 PM. One of the defining features of this production is its tight pacing; the entire performance lasts just 1 hour and 20 minutes, and notably, there is no interval. This makes it a great option if you are looking for a full theatrical experience that doesn't take up the entire evening. Tickets for the Brighton run are priced starting from £15.00, making it accessible for those looking to catch a major touring show.

When planning your visit, keep in mind the production’s guidance. While it’s a comedy, the content does contain mature themes, leading to a recommended age guide of 10 years and older. Additionally, the show incorporates several technical elements that potential attendees should be aware of. Specifically, the performance uses strobe lighting effects, theatrical haze, and high-volume music throughout. Given that the entire season at the Theatre Royal Brighton is limited to those five days in early December, it’s a short window to experience this retelling of Tudor history right here in town.
