Divorced, Beheaded. Relegated to history?
Not a chance for the fierce Tudor wives of the infamous monarch, Henry Vlll, as they re-write history. Under the musical influence of modern day pop icons including Beyoncé, Britney & Alicia Keys, SIX is a funny, dynamic and inspiring mix of pop-culture, history lesson and musical genius. With a whole lot of tea to spill on their tragic ex-husband, these magnificent monarchs battle it out to decide which Queen will lead the band. SIX is a mega-dose of sound, lights and brilliant performances — a grand slam of a show conquering Broadway, the West End and multiple international markets. It is quite possibly the best night out you’ll ever have!
Written by Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow, SIX has amassed an unprecedented global following since its premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, where it went on to sell-out across the UK, before West End and Broadway fame, and now tours the world. For AAF, the Australian production will take over The Civic stage for four weeks. Combining pop songs and musical comedy, the show is performed by an all-women cast and live band.
