REVIEW: Six The Musical UK Tour at Wyvern Theatre Swindon
Yas Queens! “Long may they Reign“
Sassy and Utterly Spectacular!
We waited for the Queens to come to Swindon for a long time, massive kudos to The Wyvern Theatre for bringing this to our town.
Girl power personified! The sequined and jewelled monarchs are phenomenal.
Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, Six The Musical tells the story of the SIX wives of Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr in a sassy, sarcastic, humorous and raunchy frolic through history telling the story of the Tudor Queens.
Running for 80 mins with no interval you will be fixed from the first to the final note and guaranteed to want to see this show over and over again.
The show gives the Tudor Queens a chance to rewrite their history and tell the tale from their perspective as the musical divas compete to see who's suffered the worst and most miserable fate in history at the hand of their husband. “Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived“. The competition is fierce, and heads may roll.
Regardless of age this is a truly awesome show. The costumes, music, choreography, voices, soundtrack are all perfectly combined.
What really makes the show is the great chemistry from our SIX leading ladies who each perform fabulous solos assisted by their on-stage backing band The Ladies In Waiting, with the other Queens dazzling with perfect back-up singing and choreography.
At the end everyone was on their feet singing and dancing giving the Queens a well-deserved standing ovation!
A fun packed evening of fun, laughter and infectious energy, what a triumph.
SIX is playing at The Wyvern Theatre in Swindon from the 4th October - 8th October 2022. BOOK tickets NOW!
