Six The Musical at Academy of Music

The Six story

"Six" is the tale of the wives of King Henry the 8th, who was a well-known king of England in the 1500s. During his 4 decades in power, he married 6 times. His demands to annul his first marriage led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority. Many people probably have heard of the story of Henry VIII. However, you may not have learned the story of his six wives. That’s where "Six" enters the picture.

This musical delves into the story of the six queens as they tell their difficult experiences with the king. The queens try to decide who had the worst experience in living with the king. The queens discuss divorce, rejections, adultery, and even beheadings in a way that amuses you while also touching your emotions. They even place a contemporary twist on the story by incorporating a dating app in a hilarious way.

Eventually, they realize that battling over who had the most awful time with Henry VIII is pointless. They come to realize that Henry VIII robbed them of their individuality. They are not just the six wives of a terrible king - they have their personal strengths that deserve celebrating. The ex-wives eventually help each other to write new endings to their lives. They achieve their “happily ever afters” that Henry VIII denied them by imagining what their lives would’ve been like without meeting Henry VIII.
