Play Synopsis

Many adults learned about Henry VIII in history classes. Does the rhyme, "divorce, beheaded, died - divorced, beheaded, survived", ring a bell? The Broadway show Six takes a somewhat fictionalized approach to telling the story.

Throughout the show, viewers witness the ex-wives transform from victims into thriving individuals. Joining forces, they turn their competition into a stunning pop concert that promotes girl power.

One innovative aspect of this production includes an villain who never appears on stage. The small cast includes only the six ex-wives and a small selection of supporting actors. This historical remix features the following six main characters:

• Catherine of Aragon, divorced
• Anne Boleyn, beheaded
• Jane Seymour, died
• Anna of Cleves, the king's second divorce
• Katherine Howard, beheaded
• Catherine Parr, survived!
