Coming to TPAC
Broadway’s Six
Henry VIII had six wives: three Catherines, two Annes, and one Jane. More memorable than their names is the rhyme to remember their fates: “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.” For most of us, those are the entirety of facts known about these women, and they’re generally treated as passive objects while talking about Henry’s longing for a male heir and England’s split from the Pope.
Now the new musical Six gives those women their proper attention, turning their tragedies into a celebration of modern girl power and reclaiming their identities apart from Henry VIII. Six won the Tony Award for Best Original Score (Music and Lyrics). It is currently on Broadway, but why make the winter trip up north when you can see it here? The US Tour of Six will be at TPAC February 3-8. See here for tickets and more information.
