Six

Six is back at the Swansea Building Society Arena on Friday 18 December, with the show starting at 20:00. It's the international smash-hit musical about the six wives of Henry VIII, and it's returning to the arena for a single night.

The premise is a Tudor take-off: the six wives take to the mic and remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st-century girl power. It's a pop concert in theatre form, with the queens singing their own stories rather than letting history tell them for them. The whole thing runs for about an hour and twenty minutes, so it's a relatively tight evening.

It's a well-travelled production, described as the crowning glory of Broadway, the West End and beyond. It's picked up more than 35 international awards along the way, including the Tony for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, and the Whatsonstage Award for Best West End Show, which it won twice. There's also a gold-disk winning album to go with it, so if you've heard the songs on record, this is the live version.

One thing to keep in mind: the show is recommended for ages 10 and over because of mature themes, so it's worth checking that before you book for anyone younger. Tickets start from £15, with a £3.95 transaction fee on top. The arena is on Oystermouth Road in Copr Bay, SA1 3BX, and the show kicks off at 20:00 on Friday 18 December.
