Watch “Ex-Wives”, the first high energy song and video from the new British musical SIX, that sees the six wives of Henry VIII singing their way out of the history books and into the West End spotlight.
Due to popular demand with the first two performances now being SOLD OUT, they have announced an extra performance of SIX at 10pm on Monday 15 January. Tickets are now on sale at the Arts Theatre.
Producer Andy Barnes from Global Musicals said: “Kenny Wax and I are very excited to share the first professional recording from the show. ‘Ex-Wives’ is the explosive opening number that introduces us to the six wives for the first time, full of 21st century female attitude and setting the tone for the rest of the show.”
From Tudor queens to pop princesses and with songs also including Haus of Holbein and Don’t Lose Ur Head, this pop concert remixes 500 years of historical heartbreak into one hour of 21st century sass. If you thought this show was all about one man – you thought wrong!
SIX by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss started life with Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017, where it was nominated for the inaugural Musical Theatre Review Best Musical Award. The original production, directed by Jamie Armitage, attracted the attention of several producers and and Kenny Wax and Global Musicals after a short bidding war decided to join forces to present this all-new production for the show’s professional premiere at the Arts Theatre in London on 18 December, 8, 15 and 22 January.
