Six has become a worldwide phenomenon since it opened at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since that time, it had been playing to sell-out houses at the Arts Theatre until the pandemic struck. The show then moved to the Lyric Theatre where it will now run until 29 August 2021 with the first performance at the Vaudeville Theatre scheduled for 16 November 2021. Book Six Tickets.
From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century Girl power.
