Story Synopsis

Many people learned about Henry VIII in school. Does the rhyme, "divorce, beheaded, died - divorced, beheaded, survived", ring a bell? The Broadway show Six takes a accurate but fictionalized approach to telling the story.

Throughout the show, viewers witness the ex-wives grow from victims into thriving individuals. Banding together, they turn their competition into a enthralling pop concert that promotes girl power.

One unique aspect of this production includes an antagonist who the audience never sees. The small cast includes only the six ex-wives and the chorus. This historical remix features the following six main characters:

• Catherine of Aragon, divorced
• Anne Boleyn, beheaded
• Jane Seymour, died
• Anna of Cleves, the king's second divorce
• Katherine Howard, beheaded
• Catherine Parr, survived!

Modern pop showtunes

Fans and critics both rave about Six's modern pop music. Broadway lovers who can't get enough of TV shows like The Voice and American Idol will love the fresh take of Six. The audience can't resist grooving in their seats as the music fully immerses them. The show provides 10 unique songs, including:

• "Ex-Wives" (sung by the company)
