I haven't been living under a rock, so I have heard about SIX the musical, a modern reimagining about the wives of Henry VIII, but I hadn't actually been to see it. Travel to London and then the cost of tickets etc. means it would be a considered purchase. I also wasn't sure that I would necessarily enjoy it. However, I caught some of the songs on a TV programme and was intrigued, so started looking on Youtube and liked what I saw and heard. The wikipedia entry is here and gives a good overview of the show and its creation.
I noticed the show is touring the UK and although is coming relatively near us, again the cost would be a considered one.
I have to say, we thoroughly enjoyed it! The cast were so good, with fantastic singing voices and the choreography was slick and impressive. The four piece female band, the 'Ladies in Waiting' were also at the top of their game.
My favourite songs? Haus of Holbein and for a fabulous jazz version here and Don't Lose your Head, probably, but there is something in all of them to enjoy.
I would happily go again!
Happily going again is the BEST advertisement. I am so glad that you found a solution that worked for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. It was obviously meant to be! I did find it a coincidence that the film version was released in the UK this week!

I had not heard of that musical or film either Ellie. But I shall make a note & keep an eye out for it when it comes to our shores. Thank you for the recommendation. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. It is a fun show and i think there is a touring version in Australia but I don't think they are coming to you. Perhaps the film version might though. There are a few risque lyrics, so I don't think it would necessarily be suitable for children. Have a look at some of the clips on Youtube to get a flavour of the show. It has a huge following over here, with the fans known as the 'Queendom'.
