More than 50,000 seats will go on general sale on Friday for an initial 16-week season from Wednesday 16 January - Sunday 5 May 2019.
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 a 75-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red.
