‘SIX’, the musical
For centuries, history remembered Henry VIII's six wives for their relationship with a king. ‘SIX’ decides to turn the story around. In this musical that has become an international phenomenon, the queens leave the history books to take the stage, wield the microphone and tell their own version of events.
About this event
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr come together in a show that mixes pop concert, friendly competition and historical vindication. Each recounts her experiences with wit, irony and an overwhelming personality, in a musical battle where the aim is no longer to win over the monarch, but to recover her own voice.
Inspired by major contemporary pop stars, the protagonists transform historical episodes into musical numbers full of energy, humour and attitude. The result is a vibrant proposal that turns Tudor-court dramas into empowering anthems capable of connecting with today's audience.
After conquering London's West End and Broadway, ‘SIX’ arrives in Madrid with dynamic staging, a soundtrack that has amassed millions of followers worldwide and a format that breaks the traditional rules of musicals. In just 80 minutes, the work shows that history can also be danced, sung and reinterpreted from a completely new perspective.
More than a history lesson, ‘SIX’ is a celebration of identity, freedom and the right to write one's own story.
