The UK tour of the hit concert-style musical Six, in which Henry VIII's six wives sing their stories to the mic.
Six is back at Milton Keynes Theatre from Tuesday 24 November, running through to Saturday 28 November. It's the international hit musical about the six wives of Henry VIII, and this is its royal return to the stage.
Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, Six is a high-octane, concert-style show that reimagines the lives of the six queens. Rather than a traditional play, the wives take to the mic to tell their own tales in an uplifting format, with the score drawing on contemporary pop. You'll hear numbers like 'Ex-Wives', 'Haus of Holbein' and 'Don't Lose Ur Head', and the whole thing runs one hour and twenty minutes with no interval, so you're in and out in a single sitting. Critic Kath Read likened the six queens' performances to the Spice Girls, which gives you a fair idea of the energy on stage.
It's a production that's travelled quite a bit. After sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and in the West End in the autumn of 2018, it's toured the country, billed as the crowning glory of Broadway and the West End. It won two Tony Awards in 2022, for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, and earned five Olivier nominations in 2019. It's recommended for ages 10 and older.
