“Six,” a musical about the six wives of Henry VIII, is coming to Broadway.
The musical will begin performances on Feb. 13 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, with an opening night on March 12. With a book, music and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the musical comes to Broadway after originating in the United Kingdom and recently making its North American debut in Chicago.
It is produced by Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes, George Stiles and Kevin McCollum.
“Six” is told in the format of a pop concert, with each wife performing a solo number. The cast has not yet been announced.
“Six” is co-directed by Lucy Moss and Jamie Armitage, with choreography by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille.
The musical originated at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, before touring the U.K. and then playing the Arts Theatre on the West End, where it has a run scheduled through July 2020.
“Six” had its North American premiere at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater in May 2019. That production will move to Boston’s A.R.T. from Aug. 21 to Sept. 27, then to the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, Canada from Nov. 2 through Nov. 24 and finally to St. Paul, Minn. from Nov. 29 through Dec. 22, before coming to Broadway.
