SIX the Musical at Comedy Theatre, Melbourne

SIX the Musical returns to Australia, bringing the story of the six wives of Henry VIII — Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr — to life in an 80-minute pop-concert musical written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. The Melbourne season at the Comedy Theatre features Sarah Murr as Catherine of Aragon, Mia Paris Scalise as Anne Boleyn, Cara Bessey as Jane Seymour, Kadesa Honeyhill as Anna of Cleves, Angela Brischetto as Katherine Howard, and Lorinda May Merrypor as Catherine Parr. The production remixes 500 years of history into a contemporary pop format, with the six wives stepping out of the shadow of their infamous husband to reclaim their own narratives. The show has won 38 international awards, including two Tony Awards, and has been performed in over 15 countries since its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017.
