Singapore’s theatre scene is about to get a royal shake-up as SIX The Musical, the global smash-hit sensation, makes its highly anticipated debut at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. From 14th November to 1st December 2024, theatre lovers can witness this dynamic and vibrant retelling of one of history’s most famous stories—the lives of King Henry VIII’s six wives.
A Feminist Twist on Tudor History
SIX The Musical reimagines the lives of Henry VIII's wives, from Catherine of Aragon to Catherine Parr, but with a modern twist. Instead of the queens being relegated to historical footnotes as the king's discarded wives, they emerge as powerful pop icons. Each queen shares her own perspective on the challenges and heartbreak of their marriage to Henry, in a show that blends witty lyrics with contemporary pop music. It's a musical revolution—where these historical figures reclaim their stories and show audiences how they lived, loved, and survived.

The queens take turns at the mic, each telling her tale in a style reminiscent of pop stars like Beyoncé and Ariana Grande, blending history with modern feminism in a spectacular 80-minute show. With empowering songs like “Don’t Lose Ur Head” (Anne Boleyn) and “Heart of Stone” (Jane Seymour), the musical portrays each queen as more than just Henry's wife—they are survivors, and their stories are finally told from their perspective.
A Global Phenomenon
Since its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, SIX The Musical has taken the world by storm.

Beyond the accolades, the musical’s feminist message has resonated with audiences everywhere.

Each queen’s performance is inspired by modern-day pop icons, and the musical’s creators, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, have designed each queen's character with influences from real-world pop stars like Ariana Grande and Beyoncé, blending history with contemporary music and fashion.
