Why See The SIX The Musical London

Anne Boleyn: Criticized for being flirtatious, she tells the story of how Henry left the Catholic Church for her sake but then had her killed when things soured.
Jane Seymour: Described as the only woman Henry had truly loved, she sings about her love for the king despite dying soon after delivering his son.
Anna of Cleves: She is rejected by Henry because she failed to meet expectations set by her portrait. But Anna turns her rejection into an asset by enjoying herself in the palace and having her own money, without being bossed by any husband.
Katherine Howard: Although she sings a happy song, there is a dark history behind her of being groomed and abused by men her whole life, which leads to her execution on charges of adultery.
Catherine Parr: She was forced to marry Henry instead of the man she really loved because Henry was sickly at that time. She outlived Henry and became a prolific writer and an advocate for girls’ education.
