Six the Musical
Never before has history been told in such a rousing, topical and entertaining way! In the international hit musical SIX, the six ex-wives of the English Tudor King Henry VIII belt out their life stories.
In the style of modern pop icons such as Beyoncé, Adele and Ariana Grande, the queens become a royal girl group and battle it out to see which of them suffered the most terrible fate under Henry VIII. "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded,
survived", the mnemonic that English pupils learn about them in class says it all! In SIX, these six women are now in charge - and inspire over 3.5 million people worldwide every year!
SIX was written by Cambridge students Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. They have created a modern pop musical that has become a global cultural phenomenon since its premiere in 2017. A musical that redefines the boundaries of musical theatre and also reaches young audiences. The shows are usually booked out for weeks. In addition to over 30 major international theatre awards, including two Tony Awards, the cast album has been streamed over 500 million times. The rousing SIX songs have triggered viral trends on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube.
In 2024, the Queens granted the German and Swiss audiences an "audience" for the first time, bringing the crowds in Berlin, Munich and Zurich to cheers and celebrations. In summer 2026, this extraordinary musical phenomenon will return to Germany - and will make its first guest appearance in Düsseldorf at the Capitol Theater from 30 June to 12 July 2026.
Düsseldorf at the Capitol Theatre. Girl power across the board, with six queens and an all-female band that make it impossible to sit still! From the lecture theatre to the royal world stage Marlow and Moss, the two creative minds behind SIX, were still studying at the University of
Cambridge University when they came up with the idea for a musical about the six ex-wives of Henry VIII. In 2017, SIX made its debut at the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where the ingenious mix of history and pop music immediately caused a sensation. This was quickly followed by a transfer to the West End, from where it took London by storm - and only a little later the rest of the world too.
the rest of the world: soon after, there were also international productions on Broadway in New York and guest performances in Australia, Canada and South Korea. In 2022, the London cast performed live as part of Queen Elizabeth II's jubilee, which was broadcast worldwide.
The global phenomenon "Queendom" SIX manages to appeal to and inspire young audiences in particular like almost no other musical. With its infectious energy, rousing songs and encouraging message
