Show Description & Character breakdown
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the mic to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st-century girl power! This new original musical is the global sensation that everyone is losing their head over.
CATHERINE OF ARAGON
A real badass monarch. Commanding, sure of herself, bold. She lights up the room. Pop inspiration: Beyonce, J-Lo, Shakira.
ANNE BOLEYN
Fun-loving, always up for a laugh. Never takes anything too seriously, but at the same time lives for the drama. Some have described her as a “chaos goblin”. Pop inspiration: Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne.
JANE SEYMOUR
Kind and sincere. Always a beat behind the rest, and with a real zeal for bad jokes - she’s steadfast, loving, and deep down as fierce as any other Queen. Pop inspiration: Adele, Emeli Sandé, Sia.
ANNA OF CLEVES
Exuberant, eccentric, and effortlessly cool. She is savvy, loves her life, won history and no one even knows it. Cleves is here for a good time. Pop inspiration: Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Charli XCX.
KATHERINE HOWARD
Super smart with a wicked sense of humour. Remembered as ‘the promiscuous one’ – but she is SO much more than that. Pop inspiration: Ariana Grande, Britney.
CATHERINE PARR
Grounded, thoughtful and warm. A champion of female empowerment. She is smart and soulful - with a story that goes far beyond her status as simply ‘the survivor’. Pop inspiration: Alicia Keys, Emeli Sandé, Jorja Smith.
