Play

Many adults learned about Henry VIII in school. Does the rhyme, "divorce, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived", jog your memory? The Broadway show Six takes a somewhat fictionalized approach to reproducing the story.

Throughout the show, viewers witness the ex-wives grow from victims into healed individuals. Joining forces, they turn their contest into a enthralling pop concert that promotes girl power.

One unique aspect of this production includes an antagonist who never appears on stage. The minimalist cast includes only the six ex-wives and the supporting actors. Featuring main characters:

• Catherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife whom he divorced
• Anne Boleyn, the king's second wife whom he beheaded
• Jane Seymour, died
• Anna of Cleves, divorced
• Katherine Howard, whom Henry also beheaded
• Catherine Parr, the only wife to survive the king
