Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses: SIX The Musical is coming to Bristol

Posted on: 31 Oct 2019

It’s the tale of King Henry VIII’s six wives like you’ve never seen before. SIX: The Musical is coming to the Bristol Hippodrome. 

 

Divorced, beheaded and died- it’s time to forget that narrative.

 

In this 5-time Olivier Award-nominated production, King Henry’s six wives take centre stage to tell their story, but not in the way you might expect.

SIX: The Musical is coming to the Bristol Hippodrome

From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, SIX sees each ex-spouse take to mic in the form of a pop concert. Together, the Queens remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a celebration of C21st sisterly sass-itude. 

 

Now, they’re divorced, beheaded and LIVE in concert! 

 

Sounds good, right? Catch SIX: The Musical at The Bristol Hippodrome from 7 July until 11 July 2020. Tickets go on sale at 09:00 on Wednesday 6 November 2020.

 

A rebellious and intoxicating contemporary interpretation of historical events, SIX is as much about the music as it is girl power, rejection of the patriarchy and survival.

 

The musical’s soundtrack has received serious critical acclaim, whilst the production has enjoyed rave reviews from the likes of The Evening Standard, The Times and Metro.

 

So, where did it all start? SIX was born in 2017 at the University of Cambridge. After a successful stint at the Edinburgh Fringe, the production began to storm the international stage.

 

In 2020, the production will see Broadway, Chicago and Sydney Opera House. And of course, it’s going on a U.K. tour, too. Catch the budding-cult classic at the Bristol Hippodrome in July 2020. 


Tickets for SIX: The Musical at the Bristol Hippodrome go on sale at 09:00 on Wednesday 6 November. Get yours here.
