DIVORCED. BEHEADED. LIVE IN CONCERT.

From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII finally take the mic to tell their tale, remixing five hundred years of her-storical heartbreak into a 75-minute celebration of sisterly sass-itude.

Six is now recasting for its open-ended run at The Arts Theatre, London and for its sell-out UK tour.

​

Sensational singer/actor/dancers required to perform the SIX wives of Henry VIII as they reunite to tell their stories in the form of a pop concert.  Must have great contemporary pop voices, good comedic instincts, and be able to interact with an audience well. Gigging experience is a plus.

We welcome and encourage applications from all self-identifying female and non-binary performers, as long as they are comfortable playing female roles.  We are looking to cast the most exceptionally talented group of people, regardless of size/shape/ethnicity etc.

Please note we are also looking for offstage swings/alternates for both productions. All swings and alternates will be expected to to learn all six tracks and be able to cover all roles within the show as required.

​
