What the critics say
“It may be cloaked in silliness, but Six makes some serious points about female victimhood and survival.”
“I suspect ‘Six’ will be a big hit. But if this is the future of feminism, lop my head off now.”
““Moss and Jamie Armitage’s infectiously fun production is packed with witty touches that make history, and theatre, easily accessible...A heart-warming, air-punching finale has everyone up on their feet; no wonder ‘Six the musical’ tickets are still in high demand. I expect these queens to rule the West End for years to come.””
“This is quite the most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre I have ever had the privilege to watch and the fact that it comes from two 23-year-olds, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, who graduated only last year, is even more delightful.”
“This is a madcap, frenetic, hugely entertaining history remix. Right from the initial strains of its first song "Ex-Wives", you'll be wanting to get to pump your fist in the air and sing with Six.”
“There’s undoubtedly raw talent on display in the writing, and really accomplished vocal performances – but it currently feels undernourished and, even though it runs to just 70 minutes, overlong for what it is.”
“Six the musical is a high energy show that is more than a pop concert”
“This is a unique, exciting, and fun show that can be consumed repeatedly.”
““The challenge for a new cast is to find a way to make the roles their own, something that’s not a problem here. Indeed, no matter how many of the previous casts you’ve seen, this is the line-up you don’t want to miss. The 2023 Queens make SIX feel like an entirely new show””
“A rather odd show. The costumes are garish, even comical. The singing is outstanding. But the stories told are not, lacking detail, substance and novelty, leading the songs to focus purely on the frivolous and facetious. Catchy music, funny jokes, but an ultimately forgettable performance.”
“Four years on from its Edinburgh Fringe debut, the show still feels like a breath of fresh air. The production is also a true ensemble effort ... You’d need a heart of stone to resist.”
“The songs are insanely catchy, and if subtlety gets gleefully ground beneath the show’s rhinestone-studded stiletto heel, that’s not what anyone came for anyhow. It isn’t profound, but this is a party – and it’s unstoppable.”
“As dazzling as the iconic show may be, it fails to fulfil its aim of portraying Henry VIII’s wives as individual women with beating hearts.”
