Six The Musical Tickets
Lena Horne Theatre | New York, New York
For those who cherish the musicals that portray historical events in a modern way, Lena Horne Theatre has a new show. The Broadway show Six — The Musical offers smashing music and an innovative perspective on the women of Henry VIII. The audience experiences the power of women with a mesmerizing show and catchy pop music.
Anchored on the troubled marriages of King Henry VIII, Six tells the tale of the King's six brides. Adapted by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, Six presents the tale as a singing game show in which each of the ladies must tell their stories to win. The audience watches as each of the ladies takes back their true identity.
The play starts as each wife reveals themselves by means of a song. Only the bride who endured the most can win the title of the band's lead singer. Despite fighting among themselves, the ladies finally decide they can no longer let this king define them. And by the end they sing together as a cohesive unit.
The show initially debuted in 2017, but Lena Horne Theatre now presents the latest production. Critics love the musical's innovation and dynamic advocacy. Fans love the awesome music, the message, and the pleasure that the musical captures.
