The Story

The contemporary reinterpretation of King Henry VIII's six wives, transformed into divas, had its modest inception in 2017 during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was conceived by a group of Cambridge students with a deep passion for history. The inspiration for the show initially emerged in a poetry class. In preparation for the production, one member, Marlow, delved into Antonia Fraser's The Six Wives of Henry VIII, while another, Moss, immersed themselves in Lucy Worsley's documentary series, Six Wives, as part of their research.

The musical is something special and is carried by the powerful voices of the actresses. The seats in the venerable theaters are naturally a little more cramped. But you can hold out for 90 minutes. I was surprised by the water provided. A great idea.

Brilliant musical, very well done and enjoyed every minute! We also liked that there was no interval and it went right though from start to finish in one hit! It felt more condensed for my 11 year old (who also thoroughly enjoyed the show!)

The production was excellent. The website was also great and made for easy access to buy from the States for the theater in London.

Wow, that was a really rousing show by the six ladies and their band. Great singers, each of them portraying their character in a very unique way. The story is a tribute to the fate of these women who lived so long ago. It is funny, charming and full of power. Highly recommended! The Vaudeville Theatre is a charming, somewhat outdated and cozy theater.
