Have you heard of the extraordinary musical called Six? Well, if you haven’t

you need to read this article. (If you have, please continue to read the review to see if you agree.)

Six is a musical about King Henry V III’s six wives. As you may know, he married six different times, and this musical tells you about the lives of these six wives.

There are six queens and four band members. Each one of the queens sings fun songs about what happened to them when they lived with Henry VIII.

The show is interesting because Henry VIII beheaded two of his wives and he divorced another two, one of which he thought looked like a horse. Another of his wive’s died from childbirth – giving him a son which was exactly what he wanted. And his last wife stood by his death bed as he drew his last breath.

This is a musical that should certainly be on your must-watch list because not

only do you learn about history, but the music is very catchy. The minute I got home I wanted to see it all over again! 

Beware, if you watch this show you are entering earworm territory! The show is so successful, it is now performed on Broadway in New York as well as London. What a journey this show has had since it started as a performance to a 40 people at Edinburgh festival. 

A student wrote this incredible musical as a small hobby while he was doing a degree in university. Little did he know it would turn to a brilliant show years later.

Make sure you get tickets when they next come out!
