A Look Back at the History of SIX THE MUSICAL

Don't lose your head... but August 14 is just days away! That means that SIX the Musical Live! is soon heading to a big screen near you. Captured live at London’s Vaudeville Theatre, SIX the Musical Live! brings audiences an electrifying cinematic event starring the six original West End Queens, each returning to the roles that helped ignite a global phenomenon. 

Seen by more than 3.5 million people worldwide, the Tony Award-winning smash hit SIX has ruled the stage since its explosive debut, becoming one of the most successful and talked-about musicals of the last decade. Part concert, part musical, and all attitude, SIX remixes history through a high-energy pop soundtrack as the six wives of Henry VIII step out of their husband’s shadow to claim the spotlight, and their stories, on their own terms. 

Directed for the stage by Lucy Moss and Jamie Armitage, and for film by Liz Clare, SIX the Musical Live! captures the raw energy, wit, and joy that have made the show a must-see for theater fans, pop lovers, and anyone ready for history with a modern twist. Loud, funny, empowering, and wildly entertaining. SIX isn’t just retelling history, it’s rewriting it.
