Six The Musical

Six The Musical at Music Hall Kansas City

What happens when six women decide their stories will no longer be footnotes to one king's appetites? Six The Musical flips the script on history's most infamous marriage résumé, letting Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr seize the microphone and reclaim the spotlight at Music Hall Kansas City.

This isn't a dutiful costume drama. Each queen gets her own pop-concert-style perspective, delivered through songs that range from fierce ballad to club anthem. Ex-Wives sets the tone, while tracks like Don't Lose Ur Head and Get Down give individual women their moment to push back against centuries of reduction and erasure. The Tony Award–winning score by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss treats each royal figure as a distinct voice—not just chapters in Henry VIII's legacy, but fully realized people with their own heartbreak, humor and defiance.

The result is a show where bold humor collides with genuine anger and hard-won independence. Heart of Stone, All You Wanna Do and I Don't Need Your Love trace different paths through power, betrayal and survival, proving that what these six queens endured—and what they chose to do about it—matters far beyond the footnotes. Kansas City gets a show that trades reverence for rebellion, history lesson for battle cry.
