The West End show is heading to UK cinemas later this year.
It has been announced that Universal Pictures Content Group has acquired the UK theatrical rights for box office smash-hit and double Tony Award winning SIX the Musicall, which was filmed London’s Vaudeville Theatre, featuring the Original Queens who reprise their roles. It will release widely in cinemas via Universal Pictures (UK) on the 6th April.
From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII take to the mic in SIX to tell their tales, remixing 500 years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red.
The show was written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, featuring pop inspired songs in which sees Catherine of Aragon (Jarnéia Richard-Noel), Anne Boleyn (Millie O’Connell), Jane Seymour (Natalie Paris), Anna of Cleves (Alexia McIntosh) , Katherine Howard (Aimie Atkinson), and Catherine Parr (Maiya Quansah-Breed) — come right into the 21st century, accompanied by the on-stage band, the Ladies in Waiting.
UK theatrical rights have been secured by Universal Pictures Content Group, who are widely known as an industry leader in the live event cinema space. The UPCG back catalogue includes some of the biggest live event cinema releases of all time such as The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables- The Staged Concert, Billy Elliot the Musical Live and Miss Saigon 25th Anniversary Gala Performance, as well as record-breaking comedy titles such as Kevin Bridges: The Overdue Catch-Up and Rhod Gilbert: The Book of John.
Show creators Toby Marlow & Lucy Moss said: “We had SO much fun making this film with the most incredible team of filmmakers and creatives, and it was so special to be reunited with the exceptionally talented and ICONIC original West End queens. We’re so grateful that we had opportunity to film the show, and that we get to share SIX with a wider audience in this new and exciting way. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!!!”
