Final casting is today announced for the eagerly anticipated West End premiere of new British musical SIX at the Arts Theatre from Thursday 30 August – Sunday 23 September.
From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the SIX wives of Henry VIII finally take the mic to tell their tale, remixing 500 years of her-storical heartbreak into a 75-minute celebration of sisterly sass-itude.
Powered by an all-female band and with songs including Ex-Wives, Haus of Holbein and Don’t Lose Ur Head, this high-octane pop concert musical by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss is widely tipped to be one of the most exciting new West End shows of 2018.
Jarneia Richard-Noel (Catherine Of Aragon) was in The Color Purple in Concert at Cadogan Hall; Millie O’Connell (Anne Boleyn) recently appeared in the UK tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie; Natalie Paris (Jane Seymour) was Louise in Sunday in the Park with George at the Menier Chocolate Factory; Alexia McIntosh (Anna Of Cleves) was Rosa, in Godiva Rocks at Belgrade Theatre; Aimie Atkinson (Katherine Howard) was Daniela in In The Heights at Kings Cross Theatre and
originated the lead role of Luisa in Zorro the Musical (UK Tour); Maiya Quansah-Breed (Catherine Parr) has just graduated from Guildford School of Acting; Grace Mouat, who completes the cast as swing/dance captain, has also just graduated from GSA.
Prior to the West End run, SIX will open at Norwich Playhouse (11-15 July) before Cambridge Arts Theatre (17-21 July) and following last year’s sell-out run it will return to the Edinburgh Fringe to the main Underbelly purple cow in George Square (1-27 August).
