Overview
SIX reframes the wives of Henry VIII as a girl-group pop concert, with each queen getting a solo number to make the case that her story deserves more than a line in a history book. It's fast, funny and unusually short for a West End show.
Because it runs without an interval and clocks in at around 80 minutes, it's a good option if you want a big night out without a late finish — handy for family trips or midweek visits.
Visitor information
The Vaudeville is a compact, atmospheric theatre on the Strand, so book early for the best sightlines — it doesn't have a huge amount of legroom in some rows.
Getting there
Charing Cross station and Covent Garden Underground are both a short walk away.
Age guidance
Suitable for most ages, including children around 8 and up who enjoy pop music; content is largely comic with some innuendo.
Accessibility
Wheelchair-accessible seating is available and should be booked directly through the box office in advance due to the theatre's smaller size.
