Review: SIX! THE MUSICAL SHINES BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND at Center Stage Youth Theatre
by Drew Eberhard - April 09, 2025
With book, music, and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII. The show is performed in a pop concert style, with each performer singing about their time with Henry and battling it out to see who suffered more, and can become the group’s lead singer. Therefore not making the plot overly complicated, SIX is a high-energy spectacle that is a good time from start to finish.
