We all know how it goes, right? The simple rhyme to remember Henry VIII’s wives? “Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.” Yeah, that one.
It gave us what we assumed was all the information back when it was a simple answer to a question at school, but have you ever wondered what else there is to know about Henry VIII’s six wives? SIX the musical offers the insight we never knew we were missing.
The musical, by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, follows the six wives - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr - as they’re transformed into a girl band in order to share their tales. The all-singing, all-dancing show remixes five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an incredible celebration of girl power.
