"Six" is the tale of the lives of the wives of King Henry the 8th, who was a controversial king of England in the early 1500s. During his nearly four decades as king, he married six times. His efforts to leave his first marriage led to the separation of the Church of England. Many people probably know the story of Henry VIII. However, you may not have learned the story of his many wives. That’s where "Six" picks up.
The musical focuses on the story of these six queens as they recount their difficult experiences with the king. The queens compete for who had the roughest experience in being married to the king. The queens discuss divorce, rejections, adultery, and even beheadings in a way that amuses you while also touching your emotions. There is a relatable twist on the story by incorporating a dating app through a parody.
Eventually, they realize that arguing over who had the most awful experience with Henry VIII is not helpful. They come to realize that Henry VIII robbed them of their individuality. They are not just the six wives of Henry VIII - they have their personal strengths that deserve celebrating. The Six eventually work together to write new endings to their stories. They achieve their “happily ever afters” that Henry VIII denied them by dreaming of what their lives would’ve been like without seeing Henry VIII.
