SIX el Musical arrives in Madrid as a pop coronation: six Tudor queens, six microphones and one story taken back from Henry VIII through an electrifying mix of music, comedy and theatrical power.
SIX el Musical in Madrid: the pop phenomenon rewriting history
SIX el Musical turns the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives into a high-voltage histo-remix, blending musical theatre, pop culture, sharp humour and concert energy. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr step into the spotlight as a girl band ready to reclaim their own narrative.
After conquering the West End and Broadway, SIX el Musical comes to Madrid for the first time at Teatro Gran Vía. This limited-season production brings the spirit of the original West End version to Gran Vía, performed in Spanish and designed as a bold, contemporary musical event.
A Tudor girl band with humour, rhythm and pop attitude
Created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX begins with a brilliantly simple premise: Henry VIII’s six ex-wives compete through music to decide who suffered the most at the hands of their former husband. The result is a diva battle full of solos, ensemble numbers and feminist theatrical wit.
Each queen has her own pop identity, echoing the energy of contemporary icons such as Beyoncé, Avril Lavigne, Adele, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears and Alicia Keys. This musical language makes SIX immediate, recognisable and emotionally direct, while keeping its historical frame playful and sharp.
What the live experience of SIX el Musical feels like
SIX el Musical feels like a live pop concert with theatrical precision: lights, microphones, choreography, fast comedy and an all-female live band driving the show. The production combines the pulse of a pop arena with the storytelling focus of musical theatre.
With an approximate running time of 1 hour and 20 minutes, SIX keeps the pace tight and the energy high. It is a modern musical for audiences looking for rhythm, humour, emotion and a fresh way to experience history on stage.
