SIX THE MUSICAL
SIX the Musical finally opened on Broadway this week, and I am so, so excited to see it! The latest in the “history-but-make-it-pop-music” subgenre, SIX is a tell-all concert performed by the wives of Henry VIII. Originally written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss while they were undergraduates at Cambridge, the musical has already enjoyed sold-out runs in London and Chicago, and was about to open on Broadway right before the pandemic hit (there’s actually a great episode of The Daily about it!). Each wife is inspired by a different pop icon—Beyoncé, Adele, and Ariana Grande to name a few. Directed by Jamie Armitage and Lucy Moss, the stage show comes in at a tight 80 minutes (we love!) and is guaranteed to be one of the most fun evenings you’ll spend on Broadway this year.
