SIX The Musical hits Oxford Playhouse

‘These Queens may have green sleeves, but their lipstick is rebellious red. Think you know the rhyme, think again… Divorced. Beheaded. LIVE!’

The musical is described as turning ‘Tudor queens to pop princesses’ as the wives of Henry VIII take to the mic to tell their own personal tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of twenty-first-century girl power. The songs from the show have over 238 million streams on Spotify and Apple Music.

The touring Queens will be played by Lauren Drew (Catherine of Aragon), Maddison Bulleyment (Anne Boleyn), Caitlin Tipping (Jane Seymour), Shekinah McFarlane (Anna of Cleves), Vicki Manser (Katherine Howard) and Elèna Gyasi (Catherine Parr), with Alternates Jennifer Caldwell, Cassandra Lee and Harriet Watson and Super Swing Natalie Pilkington. The cast are backed by the show’s all-female band, The Ladies in Waiting.

Originally a student production at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017 by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX transferred to Broadway after sold out runs in Chicago and Boston. Back in London the show was nominated for five Olivier Awards in 2019.
