Why see Six?
Move Over Hamilton!
Winner of two 2022 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score.
Move over Hamilton, there's a new soundtrack in town and it's JUST as infectious! Henry VIII's six wives are stepping out from the big man's shadow to take their turn in the spotlight in this epically good new musical! Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX is a celebration of girl power - from the 16th Century to today - and debuted on the West End in 2018 to fantastic reviews. With an infectious songbook and costumes to make Gaga or Queen Bey jealous, this outstanding show pushes the boundaries of musical theatre! Much like Hamilton, Six injects its historical story with modern-day attitudes and modern-day music, serving up a dizzying whirl of pop and comedy, and an all-female cast. Don't miss it!
What Is Six About?
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Katherine Parr. You know the names, and you may know how each of their marriages to a certain king came to an end, but these six women are far from just a historical footnote. In Six, the floor is theirs as they tell you what really went down in the court of Henry VIII.

Uplifting Sisterly Sassiness
The Spice Girls might have reunited but they've got a run for their money in the unexpected form of Henry VIII's wives. But unlike their static portraits (and positions in history), these girls can sing and dance and put on a dazzling performance.

SO EASY TO LOVE THIS MUSICAL
My wife and I are simply visiting Edmonton for a vacation and took in Six last night. What a fun show from start to end, with great energy non-stop. The Six wives are great. They are all amazing singers and performers. Have to also give great kudos to all 4 of the musicians. Guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards all mastered by amazing, talented individuals. To the producers and directors - keep this group together, they are a great team. Suggestion to others - go and see this show, it is for everyone. I am going to go and see it again this afternoon. ... Read more

FUN TIME FOR THOSE WITH AN OPEN HEART AND MINDSET
Five stars for what it is. This is not a musical and the classic sense, And I have seen dozens and dozens of musicals and plays globally over the years. Six is more like a music (rock) concert with a bit of dialogue interspersed. There is dialogue that will go over the heads of most kids, however kids, teens, and adults will enjoy this production. It is a great show for the entire family to enjoy. Six Is not nearly as cerebral as Hamilton. And while I very much enjoyed Hamilton, (yes it is excellent), I did feel a bit drained afterwards as a senior citizen. After Six I felt energized. Some have complained about the roughly 90 minute run time, I Consider the runtime a bonus, as I have seen Six multiple times. The runtime also makes it easier for kids to enjoy. I know what to expect, it is fun, light and enjoyable. With Six I am able to shut off a bit and simply enjoy the talented Six Queens and the equally talented musicians,… Wonderful to see Canadian talent showcased. Thank you. ... Read more

SEEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES
My husband and I saw Six while on vacation in Edmonton, and we saw it again last night in Toronto. Love the fact that it is a Canadian cast. It is more like a rock/pop concert than a musical. The story is light, the atmosphere fun, the musicians are amazing. We like that there is no intermission. We will see it again, but next time with our nieces and nephew. Easy for all generations to enjoy. ... Read more
