Divorced! Beheaded! Live! The six wives of Henry VIII have been transformed into modern pop princesses.

Five hundred years of history are being re-mixed into a 75-minute celebration of sisterly sass-itude, to tell you what really went down in the Tudor court.

A pop-concert musical with a live band

Backed up by their all-female band - the Ladies in Waiting - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr will each be stepping up to the mic to twist their tale of historical heartbreak into a 21st-century salute to girl power.

Catherine of Aragon has been modelled on Beyonce, Anne Boleyn is Avril Lavigne, Jane Seymour is Adele, Anna of Cleves is a combination of Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, Katherine Howard is Ariana Grande and Britney Spears, and Catherine Parr is Alicia Keys.

Since making its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, Six has become a West End sensation picking up two Tony Awards and a couple of Broadway Drama League and Olivier Award nominations for 'Best Musical'.

What the theatre critics say...

Evening Standard: ★★★★ "The most uplifting piece of new British musical theatre"; Daily Telegraph: ★★★★★ "A beacon of hope for the the future of British musicals"; Daily Express: ★★★★★ "80 minutes of exhilarating entertainment from six killer queens. They will rock you!"; The Times: ★★★★ "Hamilton move over, there's a new re-telling in town... sassy, funny, sexy and funky"
