The hit musical 'SIX', the six wives of Henry VIII singing their tales, at Hull New Theatre.
SIX is coming to Hull New Theatre on Wednesday 19 May 2027. It's the musical that's been doing the rounds on the UK tour, and this is its stop here in Hull.
If you're not familiar with it, the show is billed as The Six Wives of Henry VIII. It takes five hundred years of historical heartbreak and turns it into an 80-minute celebration of 21st-century girl power. The premise is simple enough: Henry VIII's six wives take to the mic to tell their stories and settle who suffered the most. It's a pop concert in style, with the queens singing their own numbers rather than a traditional book musical, so it's a fairly quick watch at just under an hour and a half.
It's had a proper run on the big stages, too. It won the Tony Award for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, a double Whatsonstage Award for Best West End Show, and a Gold Disk for its cast album, playing to sell-out audiences on Broadway, in the West End and beyond. That's a lot of recognition for a show that's essentially a pop-concert reimagining of Tudor history.
