The six wives of the infamous King Henry VIII are divorced-beheaded-revived in the electrifying pop musical Six, which is slated to bring 16th century sizzle to the Majestic Theatre.

Trading their corsets for catsuits, the wives take to the strobe-lighted stage to recount their lives and deaths in the form of a modern pop concert. Tensions run high as the gig transforms into a competition in which the position of lead singer is awarded to the woman who’s suffered the most at the hands of Henry.

Winner of the 2022 Tony Award for Best Original Score, Six‘s historical underpinnings, rousing rock orchestra, powerhouse vocal performances and rapid-fire raps build on the Broadway precedent set by Hamilton — all while contributing a feminist flair.

Deriving musical influence from female pop icons both classic and contemporary — think Beyoncé, Britney Spears and Jennifer Hudson — Six sheds a new and empowering light on one of history’s most unfortunate sisterhoods and celebrates the hard-won transformations of women everywhere from damsel to diva.

$45 and up, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11-22, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
