Six the Musical - Six the musical: UK Tour
About Six the Musical
Six is a British musical with book, music and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. The idea came to Marlow while studying in his final year at Cambridge University, and despite uncertainties from collaborator Moss, the pair wrote the musical while studying for their final exams. The musical is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII presented as a pop concert, as the wives take turns singing and telling their story to see who had the worst time with Henry and will become the group's lead singer.
