The show features witty lyrics and sarcastic dialogue, as each queen takes the stage on their "Divorced, Beheaded, Live" concert tour to make the case that her marriage to Henry VIII was the worst of them all. SIX has won 23 awards in the 2021/2022 Broadway season and is a global sensation that you won't want to miss. Check ticket times and availability.
