High-energy, concert-like musical finds the six wives of Henry the VIII singing, dancing and slapping back at history.

In a cheeky deconstruction of the past, “Six” turns these dethroned queens into torch-singing pop divas bedecked in glitter and sequins. Steeped in the vibe of the Beyonce era, they shimmy, strut and sashay around the concert-like staging — complete with a live band on stage — with an anachronistic sense of empowerment that rewrites history to make the women the stars of the narrative.
Smartly created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the snappy 85-minute show is fast, furious and funny but it’s also slyly subversive. When you least expect it, the slick TikTok aesthetic gives way to some gritty truth-telling.
