Six the Musical – West End

  • Theatre

    Vaudeville Theatre

  • Duration

    75 minutes

  • Age Restrictions

    10+ years

Hailed as Britain’s answer to Hamilton, Six the Musical takes Tudor history and resets it to pop. Reclaiming their lives from the old classroom rhyme, Henry VIII’s six wives take to the stage in a pulsating piece of gig-theatre that takes all sorts of pops at their heir-hungry husband.

Between them, the six spouses become a contemporary girl band: imagine the Spice Girls in corsets and ruffs. On their very own Divorced Beheaded Live tour, they’re out to reset the historical record and, tired of being defined by their husband and their reproductive capacities, the six sing their hearts out (and their heads off) to tell their stories for themselves.

Six is another success story that’s grown out of its grassroots. Songwriting duo Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote the show while still students at Cambridge and scored something of a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe. Picked up by producer Kenny Wax, the man who saw the potential of The Play That Goes Wrong, it was bolstered with a big enough budget to pull off production values to match the show’s score. The result looks a treat: Gabriella Slade’s futuristic corsets and neon ruffs won one of the show’s five Olivier nominations.

It sounds even better though and, above all, Six signals the arrival of significant talents in the form of Marlow and Moss. Their score is stuffed full of pop pastiche, with each of the six wives given their own musical stylings – one’s a born-again balladeer, another an R’n’B queen – as the compete to establish their credentials as the biggest victim of both history and the husband they shared. Their lyrics are possessed of a slick, nimble wit, with a devilish ability to turn a rhyme on a dime. (“I tried to elope but the Pope said nope.”) One song ‘Haus of Holbein’ reimagines renaissance portraiture as a kind of old-fangled dating app.

Two years after its success in Edinburgh, Six has slowly established itself as a cult hit and, with its Arts Theatre run confirmed until January 2020, it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It’s a chance to see the stars of tomorrow’s musical theatre. Book your Six the Musical Tickets today!

More like a concert to me than a musical - think Girls Aloud or the Spice Girls back in the day! I have recently seen Hamilton and it can't compare in terms of theatricality, emotion, storyline but a feel-good, short and sweet burst of energy it was. There are no real costume or set changes just the songs and some banter in between but the lighting and band etc hold.your attention. I liked the feminist message and the range of musical beats and voices. Lots of sex reference so not suitable for younger children imo. Teenage boys behind me thought it was 'OK' and an older gentleman next to me fell asleep! Definitely aimed at a niche audience but we had a great time! read less

read moreSo different from most shows, but in a good way.
This show was way better than I was expecting. I will be the first to confess that I do not care for most modern musicals, but this was great!
It's loud, bright, lots of flashing lights, but above all funny and fun.
The whole troupe were slick, well rehearsed and had impeccable timing. I only found out later that one of the six performers was sick and an understudy was substituting, such was the professionalism and quality of the show, it was impossible to tell.
The set was very clever and my hat goes off to the lighting designer (and programmer) - very well done indeed.
The costume design was excellent, giving a hint at Elizabethan style whilst being perfectly apt for the dancing and general look of the whole show.
The performers acted their roles (and acted up to the audience) really well and worked well together.
The four-piece band were just right for the show and rightly applauded.
There were plenty of gags, many of them to do with social media and the singing and dancing were excellent.
The audience was enthusiastic and varied from young children to pensioners, all seemed to really enjoy the experience - I certainly did.
This is on its way to becoming a cult musical a la Rocky Horror.
Overall a great night out, highly recommended.

My friends chose to sit on the kids booster seats!

The ladies taking part in the show were all brilliant. Such great voices and beautiful costumes.

Not a long show at around 1 hour 15 minutes with no interval but we loved this show.

Short, at around 1hr 15, but the energy level was high throughout, the performers were all fantastic and a wonderful mix of humour, fun and some very touching moments. My teenage son, who was fairly skeptical about the idea of coming to see a musical about history with his mum was dancing and clapping along by the end and was even prompted to go off and do some additional reading about the Queens to learn more - what more could you ask for?!? read less

Great score with poignant and memorable lyrics, amazing performances from everyone and a simple but effective set. Fast paced, snazzy costumes and attitude from all on stage that was so inspiring and empowering. Bringing a well versed story from history but from the female perspective, which in most cases heartbreaking and tragic. Catherine Howard especially comes to mind. I would highly recommend this. A must see for all visitors to London. read less

This show was a mix of theatre, musical, history lessons, and girls' night fabulous-ness all in one!

There was energy, jokes, and such a clear showing of the dedication and friendship between all of the performers involved. I honestly can't put it into words because it's just like nothing I've seen before. It's similar to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, one minute you're watching them speak then the next they break into a song number or start performing - you're constantly on the edge of your seat being engaged.

Honestly, if you're a theatre buff I think adding SIX to your repertoire is a must!
