The multi award-winning musical SIX, written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, has announced a new cast for its UK and International tour. The new company will take over from Tuesday, 20 May, as the current cast heads to China for an 8-week season in Shanghai. The current cast will return to the UK for a further five weeks, with their final performance on Saturday, 30 August. The new cast will then continue from Tuesday, 2 September.
The new touring Queens will be played by LaSasha Aldredge (Catherine of Aragon), Yna Montarde (Anne Boleyn), Emily Dawson (Jane Seymour), original West End cast member Alexia McIntosh (Anna of Cleves) until 26 July, Jodie Knight (Anna of Cleves) from 2 September, Sammy Timbers (Katherine Howard), and Layla Chivandire (Catherine Parr). Abi Atchison, Millie Readshaw, and Eve Kitchingman will join the cast as Alternates, with Super Swings Emilia Paige Jurin and Lucia Valentino. The cast is backed by the show’s all-female band, The Ladies in Waiting, led by Musical Director Rosabella Gregory.
Alexia McIntosh said: “After so many years with SIX, both in London and now its cinematic release, I’ve been so lucky to have spent so much time with so many amazing cast members. I’m so honoured to have been invited back to revisit life as Anna and I can’t wait to work with even more amazing Queens, and I’m excited to be passing the baton (or in this case, the famous Cleves boots) on to Jodie when she takes over the role.”
SIX follows the six wives of Henry VIII as they take to the mic to tell their own personal tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st-century girl power.
On the international stage, SIX continues its reign on Broadway at the Lena Horne Theatre and is now booking into its fourth year. SIX has toured the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, Holland, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, and enjoyed a seven-week season at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. Back on home turf, the London production recently celebrated its sixth sensational year in the West End and continues its reign at the Vaudeville Theatre, whilst nationally, the UK tour – now booking through 2026 – continues to break Box Office records.
