Divorced, beheaded, survived… Divorced, beheaded, LIVE! Following previous sell-out successes, the international smash hit musical SIX returns to The Lowry from Tuesday 13 August – Sunday 1 September. Get ready for a spectacular royal treat packed with good ol’ Tudor charm and a sprinkling of modern-pop delight.

Families are invited to get dressed in their gladrags and join the six extremely feisty, hot-blooded wives of Henry VIII, as they take the stage to share their own stories, transforming 500 long years of historical heartbreak into an incredible 80-minute celebration of 21st-century girl power, with well-known song that the audience will be able to sing (or hum) along to from start to finish.

Expect catchy, snappy songs and dazzling outfits that will leave you royally awe-inspired! With lots of dancing, humour, and a tiny bit of history thrown in there too, the whole family will go home feeling uplifted and energised, ready to sing and dance all the way home, and then book tickets to come and see it all again!

This is not one to miss. In fact, the critically acclaimed show has received an impressive 26 major international awards, including the Tony Award for ‘Best Original Score’ and ‘Best Costume Design’, as well as the Whatsonstage Award for ‘Best West End Show’ and a Gold-Disk winning album.

SIX at The Lowry is recommended for ages 10+ and is a great treat for the summer holidays. So book your tickets now, make summer memories to last a lifetime and enjoy a seriously fun-loving show (with a smidge of education, too) that will have you shaking those hips and grinning from ear to ear.
