Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. If that’s all you know about Henry VIII and his six wives, then strap yourselves in. The fun and witty show, SIX the Musical, is returning for another Australian tour, after enjoying record-breaking seasons across the country. See Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr take the mic and belt out their stories for all to hear. The ex-wives will seize the throne at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre from August 2024, before heading to Theatre Royal Sydney from October 2024, and QPAC’s Playhouse in Brisbane from January 2025.
