The West End production of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’ hit musical Six is making a number of changes to the Queenly line-up at the Vaudeville Theatre.
From 18 February, Jaz Robinson (Six, Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto) will play Catherine of Aragon, with Thao Therese Nguyen (Miss Saigon, West End/UK and Ireland tour) continuing as Anne Boleyn, Hana Stewart (Six, West End/Broadway) stepping back into the role of Jane Seymour, Dionne Ward-Anderson (Six, West End) returning as Anna of Cleves, Caitlyn De Kuyper (Six, Norwegian Cruise Line) joining the production as Katherine Howard and Amelia Kinu Muus (Kiss Me, Kate, Barbican Theatre) taking over as Catherine Parr.
They will be joined by Leonor Correia who will make her professional debut as Alternate Seymour/Howard, with Honey Joseph (Hamilton, UK tour) as Alternate Aragon/Cleves, Odelia Dizel-Cubuca (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, West End) as Alternate Boleyn/Parr, Shakira Simpson (Six, UK tour) as SuperSwing, Meg Dixon-Brasil (Six, West End) as SuperSwing and Laura Baxter making her professional and West End debut as SuperSwing.
The West End production’s current booking period at the Vaudeville Theatre runs up to 30 November.
Written by university friends Marlow and Moss, the musical which puts the spotlight on the wives of Henry VIII as they form a 21st century girl band, started life as a student production in a 100-seat room at Sweet Venue during the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Presented by Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes and George Stiles, the show which features tracks including ‘Ex Wives’, ‘Haus of Holbein’ and ‘Don’t Lose Ur Head’, is directed by co-creator Moss and Jamie Armitage.
The creative team also includes choreographer Carrie-Anne Ingrouille and musical supervisor Joe Beighton, with set design by Emma Bailey, costume design by Gabriella Slade, lighting design by Tim Deiling, sound design by Paul Gatehouse and orchestrations by Tom Curran. Casting for Six is by Pearson Casting.
Winner of over 35 international awards, including two 2022 Tony Awards, three WhatsOnStage awards and nominated for five Oliviers, Six continues to tour the UK (with new 2025 dates just announced) and throughout Europe. An Australian tour launched in August 2024, while international dates in Manila and in Singapore have recently been completed.
Six is currently playing at Broadway’s Lena Horne Theatre, the touring production continues to play cities throughout the US. The show has attracted 1.5million followers globally – across YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok and Facebook in the UK, US, Australia, Korea and beyond – and hit another milestone achievement, with songs from SIX the Musical (UK Studio Cast Recording) and the Grammy Award-nominated Six: Live On Opening Night – the first Original Broadway Cast Recording ever recorded live on opening night – streamed in excess of one billion times.
