Six: TEEN EDITION

Six is a modern pop-concert-style musical. It reimagines the six wives of King Henry VIII as a girl group, each taking the mic to tell her story. Rather than focusing on Henry, the wives reclaim their narratives, competing over who had the toughest life with him—until they realize they don’t need to be defined by their connection to the king at all.The musical is performed like a high-energy pop concert. Directed and choreographed by Emma Greenhalgh, Crash Bang Wallop’s production of Six the Musical was nothing short of electrifying. With just six rehearsals, (yes, you read that correctly) the cast and crew delivered a performance full of energy, precision, and passion. Dan’s lighting design deserves a special mention — impressive, supportive, and dynamic, it elevated key moments and complemented the action on stage. I must also mention the balance of sound quality from vocals to backing track, we heard every line clearly. The six queens each brought something unique to their roles, and together their vocals and harmonies were simply outstanding. Their chemistry created a palpable sense of girl power, with every number leaving the audience in awe. Holly Hilton (Katherine Parr) radiated energy throughout, anchoring her performance with both strength and charm. Georgie Rose (Anne Boleyn) had razor-sharp comic timing, with her delivery of “Don't lose Ur head” proving particularly eye-catching and memorable. Roisin Dunkley (Jane Seymour) stunned with her heartfelt rendition of "Heart of Stone", pouring raw emotion into the song while hitting every note with power and precision. Chloe Richardson (Anne of Cleves) impressed not only with her humour and charisma but also with her ability to nail the intricate choreography — and even assisting with creating routines, "Haus of Holbein" Lauren MacDonald (Katherine Howard) captured the role beautifully, transitioning from playful cheekiness to emotional vulnerability with great skill. A great addition to the cast. Lucy Strong (Catherine Parr) shone with her rich vocals and flawless harmonies, rounding off the ensemble with grace and power. The dances were tight, slick, and executed with real confidence. Every queen brought individuality while still blending seamlessly as an ensemble. This production showcased the talent, hard work, and dedication of everyone involved. A huge congratulations to the entire cast and crew on delivering such a fantastic performance — one that was as empowering as it was entertaining.
