A Beheading Reboot
Much like the reputation of England’s King Henry VIII precedes him for centuries on centuries about his constant recycling of wives by death or divorce, the U.S. production of “SIX: The Musicial” now on Broadway announced a major change today, not an execution of “SIX”, but a historic and what could be a first-ever move for any Broadway production, “SIX” will have a brand-new group of 6 ladies taking over “SIX” in December, fictionally Henry The VII’s wives who are vying for a shot in the pop music group that’s the musical’s namesake.
When word came the OG ladies would be stepping down as of December, everybody thought “SIX: The Musicial” was closing, but Twitter quickly cleared up that only the OG ladies would be leaving, and “SIX” would not be closing whatsoever, the OG’s have vowed to make these last weeks the best time possible at the Lena Horne Theatre where “SIX” is on Broadway in New York City.
“SIX” itself has had a storied 2 years both in the U.K. and U.S. combined, “SIX” in the U.K. had more than its share of stops and starts due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, then came “SIX” here in the U.S., where it finally opened in July 2021, followed by receiving 8 Tony nominations at this year’s “Tony Awards”.
