Six The Musical at Saenger Theatre

The Six story

"Six" is the story of the lives of the wives of King Henry VIII, who was a controversial king of England in the 1500s. During his four decades of rule, he married 6 times. His desire to annul his first marriage led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority. Many people probably are familiar with the story of Henry VIII. However, you may not have learned the story of his six wives.

The musical focuses on the story of the six queens as they tell their individual experiences with Henry VIII. The queens compete for who had the worst experience in being married to the king. The queens discuss divorce, rejections, infidelity, and even beheadings in a way that amuses you while also touching your heart. They even place a relatable twist on the story by incorporating a dating app through a parody.

Eventually, they realize that fighting over who had the toughest experience with Henry VIII is pointless. They eventually decide to think about how Henry VIII robbed them of their individuality. They’re not just the six wives of a terrible king - they have their personal strengths that deserve celebrating. The ex-wives eventually come together to write new endings to their lives. They achieve their “happily ever afters” that Henry VIII denied them by picturing what their lives would’ve been like without meeting Henry VIII.
