Six queens grab the mic and sing their marriages back from the history books.
SIX
This is not a history play. Henry VIII’s six wives form a band and compete over whose story was worst; the winner sings lead. Each queen gets a solo in her own style, backed by an all-female band. It runs about 80 minutes with no interval; it won the 2022 Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design.

Anne Boleyn’s Don’t Lose Ur Head is cheeky and defiant; Anna of Cleves shows off her palace and freedom after the divorce in Get Down; Katherine Howard’s All You Wanna Do starts bright and turns cold as she sings about being used. The same band finds a new sound for each queen.

02
The last solo breaks the rules
With I Don’t Need Your Love, Catherine Parr stops to ask why they can only be remembered as Henry’s wives.

The contest over who suffered most is the show’s rule; this song throws it out, and the finale, Six, lets all six rewrite their own endings.

03
A concert more than a musical
The stage is a band: an all-female group plays live, the queens sing into microphones, and the whole thing runs 80 minutes straight.

No scene changes, no long dialogue: it is tight and catchy, like hearing a live album, and the tunes are still going round your head on the way out.
