Six

SIX is a pop-style musical that revisits the history of the women married to Henry VIII, who here become singers telling their own version of events. It is staged at the Teatro Gran Vía in Madrid.

SIX is a musical created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss that reinterprets the lives of Henry VIII's six wives. Far from remaining in the shadow of the monarch, each one takes the microphone to tell her story from a contemporary perspective, combining relatable humour and pop-style songs. The production arrives in Madrid in its first Spanish-language adaptation and is staged at the Teatro Gran Vía.

Clara Lanzani leads the cast as Catherine of Aragon. Udara Zubillaga plays Anne Boleyn, Beatriz Santana Jane Seymour, Liz Tatis Anne of Cleves, Arianna Galletti Catherine Howard and Alba Egilo Catherine Parr. Clara Rengel, Bárbara Sanches and Flor Lopardo are the alternates for the leading roles.

Each queen has her own personality and style, with references to leading figures of today's pop scene. The live music is performed by an all-female band, which accompanies a story in which historical drama coexists with contemporary and local nods. Specialist critics have highlighted its originality and its humour.
