Many people learned about Henry VIII in history classes. 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, the audience witnesses the ex-wives grow from victims into healed individuals. Banding together, they turn their competition into a enthralling pop concert that celebrates girl power.

One innovative aspect of this production includes an antagonist who never appears on stage. The small cast includes only the six ex-wives and the supporting actors. Featuring main characters:

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

• "Haus of Holbein" (company)
• "Get Down" (Anna of Cleves)
