Six the Musical at Theatre Royal

Six the Musical is a stirring pop reimagining of the plights of King Henry VIII’s six wives: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr.

Inspired by the likes of Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Adele, Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne and more, the tale of unrequited love, passion and historical heartbreak is told through melodramatic pop songs, to reframe the narrative and empower the female leads.

From August 26 to October 1, Six the Musical will return to Sydney at the Theatre Royal due to popular demand. Written in 2017 for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by two 23-year olds, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the musical has now played in seven cities around the world, won two Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, and has clocked 500 million soundtrack streams and 3 billion Tiktok views.

Tickets range from $65 to $155. More info.
