SIX Brings Feminist Fun to PPAC
by Andria Tieman - April 13, 2023
Divorced, Beheaded, Died; Divorced, Beheaded, Survived–this handy little rhyme is likely what most Americans know best about the six wives of Henry VIII.  Maybe if you were a devotee of the show The Tudors you know a bit more about Catherine of Aragon or Anne Boleyn, but after that, things get a bit murky (so many Catherines!). The musical SIX gives these women the chance to tell their own stories, and shed some light on the circumstances of their lives and deaths.  Though the musical deals with heavy topics like infidelity, miscarriage, death by execution, etc., the six wives are generally pretty frank about their situations.  Dramatic history plus catchy songs equals a fantastically fun night of theatre; giving the lesser-known wives a chance to remind us that they were more than just a number.
