SIX Turns Henry VIII's Wives Into a Pop Concert
Henry VIII's six queens grab the mic and retell their own histories as a pop-concert girl group, all stacked harmonies and reign-reclaiming anthems.
👑 This Sunday on West 47th
🎶 What the show is
SIX puts the six wives of Henry VIII on a concert stage and turns the retelling over to them. They swap the history-book footnote for a pop anthem, arguing in song over who had it worst before deciding the contest misses the point. The score nods to Beyoncé, Adele, and Lily Allen, and the whole thing plays like a live gig, not a period drama. Live band, six queens front and center.
🎸 The sound in the room
A four-piece band the show calls the Ladies in Waiting holds the back of the stage while the queens work the front. Harmonies stack, the bass lands in your chest, and the lighting swings from throne-room gold to full arena. Each queen gets a solo built around her own version of events, and the audience is waved up to cheer and sing along. By the finale the six voices braid into one number that reads as a shared reckoning.
🎟️ How to see it
The Lena Horne Theatre sits at 256 West 47th Street, a block off Times Square and close to most Midtown trains. Sunday's show starts at seven, with doors opening about thirty minutes ahead. Runtime lands near eighty minutes with no intermission, and the lobby merch and cast recording move fast once the crowd files in. The night runs loud, bright, and fast from the first downbeat.
