Six The Musical
Six The Musical is a groundbreaking modern pop musical that has captivated audiences worldwide. With music, book, and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, this theatrical experience reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as pop stars competing in a singing competition. Each queen's story is told through original pop songs, celebrating their individuality and empowerment. Originally performed by Cambridge University students at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, it has since evolved into a global phenomenon, with productions running in the West End, on Broadway, and in multiple international touring productions.
In El Paso, the vibrant atmosphere of The Plaza Theatre serves as an ideal backdrop for this dynamic musical. The venue's rich history and intimate setting enhance the live experience, allowing audiences to fully immerse themselves in the high-energy performances. The minimal yet stylish stage design evokes a pop concert ambiance, featuring LED lighting rigs and a runway stage that brings each performance to life.
The show runs approximately 80–90 minutes without an intermission, ensuring a continuous flow of energy and excitement. Audiences can expect to hear fan-favorite songs such as "Ex-Wives," "No Way," "Don't Lose Ur Head," and "I Don't Need Your Love," all performed by an all-female/non-binary live band known as 'The Ladies in Waiting.' The choreography is vibrant and engaging, designed to keep the audience on their feet.
Six The Musical has received critical acclaim for its fresh approach to storytelling and its appeal to younger audiences. It has won numerous awards, including Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design. The costumes, designed by Tony Award Winner Gabriella Slade, feature glamorous interpretations of Tudor-era fashion that resonate with modern sensibilities.
The fan experience is equally engaging; audience members often dress as their favorite queens, creating a lively atmosphere that enhances the overall enjoyment of the show.
