Six The Musical at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

Six – the musical tickets:, the story of henry vii’s wives.

It’s the moment of truth! Who will reign supreme? The six queens from the Tony Award-winning musical, Six, is coming to Los Angeles! From May 9th to June 10th, 2023, the critically-acclaimed British comedy musical makes its debut at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles! Loosely based on the wives of King Henry VIII, Six will highlights six pop divas who will battle it out on stage for the chance to become the band’s lead singer. The show features the Drama Desk award-winning score by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. Apart from the fantastic music, the show also contains a fascinating and slightly familiar storyline, especially if you know your English history! So hurry and grab your tickets now to see Six at the Pantages Theatre! Where else can you see a remarkable musical complete with pop divas, love, marriage, betrayal, and beheadings?

Six features six queens in a singing competition and the winner will become the lead singer of the band. But what’s the catch? The competition will be won by the queen who was treated the worst by her husband! This show is a modern retelling of how England’s most notorious playboy treated his wives. Maybe you’ve seen the Tudors or the Other Boleyn Girl. King Henry VIII’s notorious philandering has been depicted many times, but you’ve never seen a show like this! Queen Catherine of Aragon was famously annulled by Henry VIII so he could marry the enchanting Anne Boleyn. However, Anne fails to provide Henry with a male heir. Frustrated, King Henry began courting Jane Seymour. But before he marries his third wife, he executes Anne Boleyn for her alleged adultery. They say third time’s a charm, but not for Henry! After his annulment with Jane, he later marries Anne of Cleves, but this, too, ended in a failed marriage. Katherine Howard steps into the picture, but like Anne Boleyn, she is also beheaded. Alas! Henry marries his last wife, Catherine Parr. But what happens if all these queens are together on one stage and competing against each other? Who will win the coveted lead singer position? Find out when you come and see Six at the Pantages Theatre!

What to expect at SIX

Six’s U.S. touring cast comprises Gerrianne Perez as Catherine of Aragon, Zan Berube as Anne Boleyn, Amine Faye as Jane Seymour, Terica Marie as Anne of Cleves, Aline Mayagoita as Katherine Howard, and Sydney Parra as Catherine Parr.

Six’s outstanding original score embodies pop music that we all love today. Many songs have a high-energy appeal with humorously dark titles, such as “Don’t Lose Your Head” and “Ex-Wives.” The six queens who simultaneously appear in the same competition are reincarnated modern personas of today’s biggest pop stars. Some audiences may find the queens exude characteristics of Avil Lavigne, Adele, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, and even Celine Dion! However, as the competition starts, the queens are virtually done with Henry as they realize they do not need their husband to feel validated and empowered. Thus, the queens perform the powerful song, “I Don’t Need Your Love.”

In 2017, Six opened at Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a small production. The musical was conceptualized by Cambridge University students Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss after attending a Beyonce concert. Marlow was inspired by Antonia Fraser’s the Six Wives of Henry VIII, while Moss drew ideas from the Six Wives documentary by Lucy Worsley. With a meager budget, Moss and Marlow produced the musical packed with emotional and powerful ballads. The venues used for the original production were church halls, pubs, and street corners, while performers wore cheap fast fashion dresses. Despite the small production, the show garnered praise from viewers. After attracting a number of producers, esteemed choreographer Carrie-Anne Ingrouille and composer George Stiles joined the team. Six debuted at London’s West End with four performances in less than a year since it opened at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The following year, Six toured England with performances in Norwich, Glasgow, and a phenomenal return to Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

“There’s much to admire and love. It may not be Masterpiece Theater, but this “Six” is a solid “10” for joy.” – Variety

“gloriously-persuasively-coherent, confident, and inventive” – the telegraph, “pure entertainment… wickedly smart… terrific singers” – new york times, “six carries out a joyful and anachronistic takedown of the patriarchy… brilliant” – broadway world, award winning broadway pop musical.

Six’s inventiveness and energy were not overlooked. Thus, the musical finally held its first seasonal run at London’s West End in 2019. The production crossed the seas and embarked on its first U.S. tour, followed by another U.K. tour, and an Australia and New Zealand run in 2020 and 2021. Lastly, Six finally premiered on Broadway on February 13, 2020, before production was halted and resumed in May 2021. This 2023, Six continues its extensive U.S. tour with stops in major cities, including Los Angeles.

In 2022, Six won numerous accolades, including two Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, and three Outer Critics Circle Awards. The show was also well-received by musical enthusiasts and professional critics. Lyn Gardner from The Guardian raved about the story’s representation of the struggles of womanhood, “It may be cloaked in silliness, but Six makes some serious points about female victimhood and survival.” Rachel Weinberg from BroadwayWorld agrees,” Six carries out a joyful and anachronistic takedown of the patriarchy.”

Six has been praised by viewers for its high-energy performances. Chicago Tribune’s theater critic, Chris Jones, described the show as “dynamic with a sense of humor and spirited radicalism.” Meanwhile, The New York Times’s Jesse Green has nothing but good words about Six, “Pure entertainment… wickedly smart… terrific singers!” Lastly, the current North American production led by directors Lucy Moss and Jamie Armitage garnered praise from Kedy Weise of WTTW, “Dynamite direction by Moss and Jamie Armitage, and powerhouse music direction by Roberta Duchak.” She also added that she loved costume designer Gabriella Slade’s “glittering costumes” and lighting designer Tim Deiling’s “arena-style lighting.”

Hollywood Pantages Theatre

From May 9th to June 10th, 2023, the production will hold a total of 40 performances at the Pantages Theatre. Guests keen on experiencing this award-winning musical at Pantages can look forward to the venue’s top-tier facilities. Since 1930, the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood has been Los Angeles’s prime entertainment destination.

Today, the theater’s plush seating and state-of-the-art audio, lighting, and acoustics ensure that viewers will have the best entertainment experience.

Review: Musical ‘Six,’ about Henry VIII’s wives, is unapologetically revisionist. That’s why it’s successful

Six performs on a stage.

  • Copy Link URL Copied!

To put together a chart-topping girl group nowadays, you can go through the tedious ordeal of coming up with a fresh hook and holding months of auditions. Or you can find people who already have something in common — a unifying theme — but represent a range of takes on it.

Like, say, the six wives of King Henry VIII. They were all married to the same man, but each handled the situation — and suffered the consequences — in a distinct way. (A rhyme memorized by British schoolchildren sums up their fates: “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.”) You then just have to bring them back to life, dress them in Tudor/Space Age fusion and send them onstage through a puff of smoke, a halo of stadium lights and, as one song lyric puts it, “beats so sick they’ll give you gout,” to rock the world’s historical assumptions.

This is the strategy of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the Cambridge University graduates who wrote the musical “Six” (Moss also directs, with Jamie Armitage), now at the Pantages on its national tour. Like other recent productions that boldly set out to subvert our views on history (“Hamilton,” “Bridgerton,” the latest “1776” ), “Six” could be accused of presentism, the habit of judging the past in terms of today’s values, leading to anachronisms that upset historians. It seems unlikely, though, that “Six” would be hurt by this accusation — it might even be taken as a compliment.

The musical, which won the 2022 Tony Award for original score (and another for costume design in a musical), is unapologetically — intentionally, proudly, joyfully, sometimes jeeringly — revisionist. The Tudor queens onstage look nothing like their historical portraits (which are reproduced in chronological order in the program, along with brief biographical details and the modern-day pop divas that inspired each queen’s theatrical persona), and although they share their life experiences, they recount them like modern young women with Tinder accounts who idolize pop divas and have binge-watched more than one season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” They’re all proud, fierce, acerbic, athletic (they sing and dance to Carrie-Anne Ingrouille’s relentless choreography without apparent exertion) and at moments terrifying.

The show, which is closer to a pop concert than a traditional musical, is structured like a reality competition, the divas explain after their rousing opening group number, “Ex Wives.” Each will perform a solo (with backing from the others) and the audience will choose who should be the group’s lead singer. The twist is the criterion: The winner will be the queen who suffered the most in life.

This showdown sure sounds like a counter-intuitive format for a celebratory musical. But the tone it establishes is critical to “Six’s” success. Terrible things happened to these women, and if we really stopped to think about that, we’d probably be too horrified to enjoy the music. Comedy is tragedy plus time, as Mark Twain is credited with saying, but could enough time ever pass to make decapitation funny? Won’t it always be “too soon”? Because the queens themselves are so clearly over what happened to them, and so unsentimental, they give us permission to take it all lightly too. The approach is risky, and there are moments where the show fumbles the delicate balance it has established. But I was impressed overall at how skillfully it dodged its landmines.

Another thing that worried me about the competition setup was how the show could sustain or top its own performative verve. The all-female band, led by keyboardist Valerie Maze, is right onstage, and the energy level is high.

Khaila Wilcoxon started the battle off with such a blistering, Beyoncé-inflected take on Catherine of Aragon’s misfortunes, “No Way,” that I actually felt a little sorry for Anne Boleyn — not so much because I knew she was going to get beheaded as because she had to follow that number. Luckily, Storm Lever gave as good as she got with Anne’s solo, “Don’t Lose Ur Head,” and also threw a lot of shade at the wives who complained about lesser misfortunes.

Third wife Jane Seymour (Natalie Paris) brought the room down with an Adele-style ballad, “Heart of Stone,” professing her genuine love for Henry and grief for the son she never met (she died not long after his birth). I was just beginning to feel sad when the tale of German-born Anne of Cleves (Olivia Donalson) took everything to a zany new level.

History tells us that Henry proposed to Anne based on a portrait by the artist Holbein (who gets a German house music vibe in the odd but wonderful group number “Haus of Holbein”) but didn’t like the way she looked in person, so he divorced her, leaving her with a generous settlement and her own palace.

Donalson puts the most positive, Rihanna-style spin imaginable on this rebuff, irresistibly exulting in Anne’s wealth and freedom and ultimately acknowledging that she had it so good that she couldn’t really compete with the other wives in the trauma-off.

The most dimly recalled of the wives, Katherine Howard (Courtney Mack), is obliged to follow this triumph, which she does with a charming and provocative complaint à la Ariana Grande, “All You Wanna Do,” about the less glamorous consequences of being sexually attractive to men.

That leaves Catherine Parr (Gabriela Carrillo), remembered as the queen who survived, to wrap up the show and put a bow on it in her number, “I Don’t Need Your Love.” The message, perhaps unavoidably, is a bit muddled, but the show is very aware that it’s dancing around important, intractable issues — it voices any objections you might have almost before you’ve thought of them, then dances around a little more.

Catherine takes the other queens to task, belatedly and unpersuasively, for comparing their traumas, and for allowing themselves to be defined by them. But the queens argue back that they can’t change history. They can’t go back in time and give themselves happy endings. Or can they? It’s their show, after all. Smiling slyly, they invite the audience to give in to the fantasy.

Maybe some young people in the audience will grow up believing that the six wives of Henry VIII were (rather than the pale, worried ladies in headdresses I’ve always imagined) empowered people in fishnets who could really wail, but plenty of others will be inspired to learn more about their lives and deaths. Does it matter if the revision precedes history? The truth probably lies, unattainably, somewhere in between. We might as well enjoy the music.
