The Australian producers of SIX, the electrifying musical phenomenon by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, have announced its tour will resume in Australia in November 2021.
Following a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House in 2020, this new Australian production will premiere in Brisbane at QPAC’s Playhouse Theatre in November and make a triumphant return to the Studio at Sydney Opera House from December. The tour will then continue to the Canberra Theatre Centre, Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide, and Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre in 2022.
“Gosh it’s just so exciting to finally have our amazing Australian production of SIX back up and running! The whole team is so so special and it’s just so wonderful to know that, after everything we’ve all been through in the past year or so, they’ll be able to share their extraordinary gifts with audiences again soon. And we are also suuuuuper excited to be welcoming our INCREDIBLE new Queens: Phoenix, Chelsea, and Chiara!!!! Queendom – get ready for them, they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!” said creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss.
A witty, pop-fueled musical packed full of sass, SIX remixes the history of the six wives of Henry VIII – Britain’s notorious Tudor King – as they take to the microphone to re-tell their stories and reclaim their HERstories, once and for all. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr.
Two new Queens are crowned as they join the Australian cast, Phoenix Jackson Mendoza playing the first wife of Henry VIII, the sassy Catherine of Aragon and Chelsea Dawson taking on the role of the playful fifth wife, Katherine Howard. In recent years Phoenix has starred in Australian productions of Green Day’s American Idiot and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Newcomer Chelsea made her professional debut in the recent production of Shrek the Musical.
