Death becomes him. Elmer McCurdy, that is. In the tangy, twangy, and darkly amusing new Broadway musical [*Dead Outlaw*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/38531-dead-outlaw), he’s the titular bandit whose life became exponentially more fascinating after his death. 

McCurdy got a postmortem surge of fame thanks to his mummified corpse, as chronicled in the show. Before finally being buried in the 1970s, McCurdy’s preserved remains were displayed at a funeral parlor, in sideshows, and in a...

Listen up and let them tell you a story. *Six* is the musical sensation that has taken Broadway by storm since premiering in 2020, featuring the six wives of Henry VIII — except this time, you get to hear about their lives in their own words. The show flips the script by allowing these women, historically known as little more than wives, to make their voices heard, independent of the king.

You’ll have a blast at this high-octane musical that mimics a pop concert, and you’ll also learn history about these women and the parts of their lives often left out of textbooks.

Six on Broadway - Sqaure

King Henry VIII was a Tudor monarch, ruling over England for nearly 40 years. During his time on the throne, he broke away from the Catholic Church and, even more famously, had six wives. While history lessons have taught us all about Henry VIII, they often spend little time on the wives, focusing mostly on how they died or else got rejected.

In the *SIX* musical, the Queens retell their marriage stories through song. Pitting themselves against one another, each wife takes to the mic to see who had it worst, and the winner gets to lead their girl group. But they realize that constant arguing and pettiness isn’t needed — women supporting women are stronger than any king. Summing up centuries of history into 80 minutes of theatre, the *SIX* queens fix each other's crowns while changing your view on Tudor history. 

*SIX* on Broadway includes plenty of tongue-in-cheek jokes about their deaths and divorces, but it also includes firsthand accounts from the women themselves about what their lives, personalities, and talents are independent of Henry. You won’t get that in the history books — only on the Broadway stage. With a women-only cast (the Queens) and band (the Ladies in Waiting), *SIX* on Broadway puts female power and girlbosses on the map.

The show came out of humble beginnings in England, when creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote it during their last year at Cambridge University. At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, *SIX* caught the attention of producers, and it went on to tour the U.K. and get a five-time Olivier Award-nominated run in London’s West End. The show went on to play Australia and tour the U.S., and *SIX* continues to reign on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

In 2022, *SIX* on Broadway got eight Tony nominations, including Best Musical. The show won for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design, for Gabriella Slade’s Tudor-chic-meets-glitzy-popstar designs.

## What to watch for

- Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss weren’t the only people from the *SIX* team that first joined forces at the University of Cambridge. They met the musical director and lighting designer there, too.
- *SIX* is such a short musical because it was written for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which has a time limit for productions. When *SIX* premiered there in 2018, 10,000 people saw the show in one month. 
- There’s a longstanding myth that Henry VIII wrote the English folk song “Greensleeves” for Anne Boleyn. It’s likely false, but the song is referenced in some of Anne’s *SIX* lyrics, and you’ll hear its melody played on the harpsichord when you walk into the theatre.
- The Queens wear different accessories depending on their fate. The divorced women both wear spiked headbands, and the beheaded ones wear chokers.
- Each wife leads her own musical number, but they come together for a techno rave group number, “Haus of Holbein.” See the queens dance in their neon ruff collars and glasses and get ready to “Get Down” with Anna of Cleves right afterward.
- Since the London *SIX* cast recording was released on Spotify in 2019, the songs have been streamed worldwide over 100 million times. In 2022, a recording of the show’s opening night performance on Broadway was released as a live album, further dominating *SIX*’s reign over music streaming. Have you listened to the *SIX* albums?

This Tony Award-winning pop musical gives 16th-century drama a 21st-century feminist twist. The six wives of Henry VIII become a fierce girl group who take back their crowns and rewrite their histories in the style of a rousing arena concert.

Six on Broadway is ruling the Lena Horne Theatre — and the world. The Tony Award-winning musical has drawn countless audiences to experience a royal "histo-remix." Get Six tickets on New York Theatre Guide today.

In the space of just a few short years, Six grew from a small festival production to an international musical phenomenon, and like <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>, the *Six* Broadway show has burst out of the theatre bubble and into the mainstream.

The Six musical features the testimonies of the six ex-wives of British royal tyrant Henry VIII — told by the Queens themselves at a modern-day girl group concert. They dispute who should be the lead singer of the group, agreeing it should be whoever received the poorest treatment from their former husband. The Queens battle it out with scintillating solos and a handful of gratifying group numbers to boot.

Each Queen is inspired by present-day pop divas. While Catherine of Aragon carries herself like Beyoncé, Anne Boleyn rocks out more like a "Sk8er Boi"-era Avril Lavigne. The smooth tones of an Adele-esque Jane Seymour contrast nicely with Anna of Cleves, who gives us her best Nicki Minaj. And while Katherine Howard brings us seduction à la Britney Spears, the survivor Catherine Parr rounds out the group with the gravitas of Alicia Keys.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss wrote Six at 21 years old during their final year at Cambridge University. Presented by Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, this fresh new musical caught the attention of producers Kenny Wax and Global Musicals, who would bring Six to the Arts Theatre in London's West End in December of that year. Its success snowballed from there, spurred on by the release of the original cast recording in September 2018, which earned the show a global following. Six toured the U.K. and later returned to the West End for an open-ended run.

The "little show that could" was honored with five Olivier Award nominations in 2019, including Best Musical in a category that also included Come From Away, Fun Home, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.

Following a North American premiere in Chicago in May 2019, the U.S. cast toured to Cambridge, Massachusetts; Alberta, Canada; and St. Paul, Minnesota. The show shuttered temporarily on its would-be Broadway opening night in 2020, but its eventual 2021 premiere earned Six on Broadway eight Tony nominations and two wins, for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design of a Musical.

## Is *Six* still on Broadway?

*Six* is currently playing on Broadway. The show has been in performances since February 2020, and tickets are available now.

## Where can I watch *Six* the musical?

*Six* is currently playing at the Lena Horne Theatre (formerly the Brooks Atkinson Theatre) on Broadway. The show is also playing in London and across the U.S. on tour. It is not currently available to stream.

Don't miss out on Six in New York, a genre-defying, exhilarating historical musical with a pop-tastic score for the ages. Tickets to Six are available now. Get your Six Broadway tickets today.

Six Broadway Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide

See the ex-wives of King Henry VIII as pop diva icons, retelling their stories of hardship with heart-thumping pop anthems to determine who their leader will be. From a small show written by college students, *Six* has become Broadway royalty with two Tony Awards and a worldwide fanbase. Try not to lose your head when you get tickets to this clever spin on history.

There is nothing I enjoy more than discovering a show and then going back to see it again (and again) with someone who has never seen it before. As someone who goes to the theatre for work, I view every night as a treasure hunt for the next theatrical crown jewel, and I love revisiting these gems time and again with friends and family.&nbsp;So when I saw a little show called <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/20737-six-musical-tickets">Six</a> for the first time in London's West End in 2019, I couldn't wait to evangelize about it and take everyone I know. When the show came to the U.S. for a North American tour before heading to Broadway, I took my brother and sister-in-law to the show at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass.&nbsp;And when the show was preparing for its March 2020 Broadway bow, I took a good friend, dancing in the aisles at the last show I saw before the pandemic shutdown.&nbsp;Now, the production is the first new musical to return to Broadway since theatres closed, and in the intervening time, I've actually moved to London, where I was at the musical's first performance back in the West End in May 2021. So being back in New York for Broadway's reopening and seeing Six (for the sixth time, no less) feels like a seminal moment for the show.&nbsp;This time, I also took a good friend, who also had never seen the show or heard any of the music. Watching her experience pure musical theatre elation for a pop-packed 75 minutes was greater than any returning-to-theatre joy I could have imagined. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll dance. It's everything a theatre experience should be and more.&nbsp;So what is Six, you might ask, oh uninitiated one? The show is essentially a pop concert featuring the six wives of&nbsp;Henry VIII belting and riffing about all the "bullsh*t" they had to put up with from the king. Featuring vocal stylings in the vein of Nicki Minaj, Adele, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, and more, the performers deliver a "histo-remix," in a concise and endlessly catchy concert-style show that is part singing competition, part history lesson.&nbsp;Now, you don't need me to tell you how popular the music is, as the U.K. cast recording has been streamed over 100 million times, and writers Toby Moss and Lucy Marlow (also the show's co-director with Jamie Armitage) have scored a deal to write pop music. Not bad for two students at Cambridge who came up with this show in school and premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe.&nbsp;The queendom has now gone global, and the Broadway production is bigger, bolder, and beltier than any Six I've seen yet. From new riffs to surprise costume reveals, every element has been leveled up for New York, leaving no stone unturned. Adrianna Hicks (Catherine of Aragon), Andrea Macasaet (Anne Boleyn), Abby Mueller (Jane Seymour), Brittney Mack (Anna of Cleves), Samantha Pauly (Katherine Howard), and Anna Uzele (Catherine Parr) form a tight ensemble, fulfilling all your girl group dreams and your next karaoke night.&nbsp;The show itself is a retro-mashup with Gabrielle Slade's bedazzled costumes featuring Reformation-inspired silhouettes; Carrie-Anne Ingrouille's choreography showcases Tudor-meets-pop moves; and Emma Bailey's scenery and Tim Deiling's lighting feels like what a royal ballroom might look like in a techno disco.&nbsp;Ultimately, the queens' own stories of overcoming struggles and the show's circuitous journey to Broadway are also beacons for the power of positivity, perseverance, and coming together in times of struggle. Just like these six "ex-wives," we've all had it rough for the past year and a half, and the queens are here to bring in a new regime. Long may they reign.&nbsp;Six&nbsp;is playing on Broadway at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/lena-horne-theatre">Lena Horne Theatre</a>. &nbsp;

*Real Women Have Curves* has had a long journey and is finally making its way to Broadway. Starting off as a play by Josefina López, the work was adapted into a Sundance hit in 2002, winning the Audience Award for best dramatic film and the Special Jury Prize for acting. The play and film were both celebrated for their realistic portrayal of Latino family dynamics and culture.

Ultimately, this new musical is an inspiring one — *Real Women Have Curves* “makes us feel we can all soar” per WBUR. While the film very much follows a Latino family, its themes of community, duty, and choosing to pursue your own goals despite the one ancestors may have laid for you are highly relatable to many families. A celebration of one woman’s resilience and ambition, this musical is one that tells a distinctly American story. See how 200 dresses transform a family business — and its future.

## What to watch for

- *Real Women Have Curves* is a “winner, with a big heart and joyous abandon” per The Boston Globe.
- The story is acclaimed because it has many layers: it is a coming-of-age drama centered on a mother-daughter conflict. It also explores the immigrant experience, the battle to accept oneself, and the importance of personal dignity.
- Body positivity is a theme in the story as Ana is expected to look a certain way in her mother’s eyes.
- The New York Times praised the film adaptation as “effervescent and satisfying, a crowd pleaser that does not condescend.”

If you think Juliet deserved a better ending than the one she got in *Romeo & Juliet*, check out this new jukebox musical. *& Juliet* features the music catalog of Max Martin, the songwriter behind hits from NSYNC, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and many other pop sensations.

*& Juliet* centers two strong-willed female characters: Juliet and Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway. After reading her husband’s play, Anne imagines a new ending for the heroine, where she escapes Verona in search of her own destiny. The musical follows the two as Anne creates a different path for Juliet, who gets to live a new life.

*& Juliet* already has a proven record of success across the pond. The musical had a hit-making 2019 world premiere in London, where it’s still running. The show received nine Olivier Award nominations, including Best New Musical, and a record-breaking 13 nominations at the WhatsOnStage Awards there. The show also made a star of its Juliet, Miriam-Teak Lee, who won an Olivier Award and a WhatsOnStage Award for her performance.

*& Juliet*'s North American premiere was in Toronto, Canada in summer 2022, with a new cast. Only one London cast member — Melanie La Barre as the Nurse — traveled across the pond with the musical, and she and the entire Toronto cast are also in *& Juliet* on Broadway.

*& Juliet* is a pop musical for multiple generations. A total of 30 Max Martin songs are in the show, from the ‘90s through today. From Backstreet Boys, Bon Jovi, and early Britney Spears hits; to early-2000s bops from Katy Perry, Kesha, and P!nk; to 2010s chart-toppers from Ariana Grande and The Weeknd, there are songs everyone has on repeat on their Spotify playlists.

## What to watch for

- One of the songs in *& Juliet*, "One More Try," is a new song Martin and Jessie J wrote specifically for the show.
- Proper Elizabethan meets pop extravaganza in the details of *& Juliet* on Broadway. Elements like the costumes are inspired by Shakespeare’s era, but the choreography emulates the moves you’d see in your favorite pop stars’ music videos.
- With David West Read attached to *& Juliet*, this marks the second Broadway season in a row featuring a *Schitt’s Creek* alum, after cast member Noah Reid’s star turn in *The Minutes* in spring 2022.
- In addition to his five Grammys, Martin has won the ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Award 11 times (including every year from 2011-2018), and he's an Oscar and two-time Golden Globe nominee.
- *& Juliet* is perfect for fans of Tony-winning shows like *Moulin Rouge! The Musical*, which also works pop music into an original, larger-than-life story, and *Six*, a pop-infused, feminist remix of English history.

What would happen after *Romeo & Juliet* if Juliet didn't die? That's the question this pop-fueled musical, from songwriting icon Max Martin and a writer on *Schitt’s Creek*, asks. Jam out to tunes made famous by Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, Pink, and more.

She's stronger than yesterday! After running to acclaim in London's West End for three years, the pop musical &amp; Juliet is now on Broadway with nine Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical. Get&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;tickets now — and see *NSYNC's Joey Fatone in the show through March 16 only.

*& Juliet* on Broadway takes modern pop songs from the catalog of Max Martin and sets them to an original story about what might happen if Juliet did not die at the end of Romeo &amp; Juliet. Before you go, discover more about what to expect from this energetic, larger-than-life pop extravaganza.

<h2>What is&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;about?</h2>

The&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;musical kicks off nearly where&nbsp;Romeo &amp; Juliet&nbsp;left off: right before Juliet's death. This isn't a retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy, though; it's a whole new story in which Juliet decides losing Romeo doesn't mean she should die. Instead, she goes on a journey of self-discovery to Paris. Accompanied by her friends — which include some characters from the original play, like the nurse, as well as new characters, like her friends Francois and May — she goes to parties, makes new friends, falls in love (again), and sees what the world has to offer beyond the stifling walls of Verona.

The whole story is narrated by Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway, who are actually writing the story as they go along. Anne learns of Shakespeare's original&nbsp;Romeo &amp; Juliet&nbsp;ending and dislikes it, so she takes over.&nbsp;With Anne at the helm, Juliet gets more agency and depth independent of her relationship with Romeo, and&nbsp;a more positive lease on life. Anne even writes herself and Shakespeare in as characters, and debating their different ideas for the story ends up helping them work out the issues in their marriage.

The *& Juliet* Broadway musical is full of energy and laughs, as the&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;book is by David West Read, a writer on the Emmy Award-winning&nbsp;Schitt's Creek.

<h2>What songs are in&nbsp;&amp; Juliet?</h2>

You may listen to top 40 radio, but you've never heard your favorite songs like this.&nbsp;&amp; Juliet&nbsp;has one new song, but the show mostly includes existing popular music.

& Juliet - NYC - New York Theatre Guide

& Juliet Broadway Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide

What would happen after Romeo and Juliet if Juliet didn't die? That's the question at the core of this pop-fueled musical created by the Emmy-winning writer of *Schitt's Creek*. Jam out to tunes made famous by Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, P!nk, Ariana Grande, and more, as Juliet travels to Paris with new friends and new love. Find out about *& Juliet* tickets.

Anne Hathaway – the wife of William Shakespeare, not the Oscar-winning actress – has a message for her famous husband. In a nutshell: Your star-crossed-lovers tragedy stinks. 

That’s the start of [*& Juliet*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/25598-and-juliet-tickets), a slim but cheeky and eager-to-entertain jukebox musical bursting with chart-toppers made famous by Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Bon Jovi, Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, and other pop stars.

“What if Juliet didn’t kill herself?” muses Anne (Betsy Wolfe, goofy, gutsy, and serving gale-force vocals), who convinces Will (Stark Sands) to collaborate on a rebooted story. So long, Verona and stifling parents keen on locking her up in a nunnery. Freedom awaits! Juliet (the terrific Lorna Courtney), now 22 in the revised tale, considers life on her own terms.

She makes a beeline for Paris with her nurse (Melanie La Barrie, reprising her role from the show’s London premiere), a new non-binary BFF May (Justin David Sullivan), and another pal, April – who is actually Anne. She and Shakespeare write themselves into the revision; he’s a carriage driver. Along the way, some 30 hits from the Max Martin catalog, including “...Baby One More Time,” “Roar,” and “Since U Been Gone,” knit the narrative together.

This setup happens with surprising speed and economy. The early zippy energy is a big plus. Vibrant visuals are another. Director Luke Sheppard’s staging makes great use of projections, flying set pieces, and a levitating circular platform to showcase dramatic moments and athletic dance moves by choreographer Jennifer Weber. 

There's plenty of drama in France after Juliet and company meet Francois DuBois (Philippe Arroyo), who’s looking for love, and his stern father Lance (Tony winner Paulo Szot, game but frequently upstaged by his codpiece), who shares a secret history with Juliet’s nurse.

Thanks to Will’s desire to stir the plot, dim Romeo (Daniel Maldonado, in for Ben Jackson Walker at a recent performance) pops up. The newly undead guy descends in a superdope (to borrow his term) and glitzy entrance.

The action unfolds in Shakespeare’s era, but its heart and head are all about today. Costume designer Paloma Young pairs corsets, ruffs, and doublets with chunky boots and high-tops. There’s also a shoehorn lurking in the wings. As in any jukebox musical, some tunes are wedged in, but others fit surprisingly well.

“I Want It That Way” becomes a useful all-purpose expression of desire, while “Oops! … I Did It Again” neatly covers romantic missteps. “Stronger” lets Juliet’s defiance toll. Romeo and Juliet’s conflicted feelings churn into a raucous “Problem/Can’t Feel My Face.”

*Schitt’s Creek* writer David West Read penned the story, and it’s a mixed bag. *& Juliet*'s feminist attitude and celebration of gender fluidity make it topical. Mispronunciations of Francois’s surname makes way for (groan) DeBoy band jokes. And even with the youthful exuberance, the momentum sags whenever Anne and Will spar about the narrative — and they do it a lot. 

The script looks to history (or Wikipedia?) to connect the dots between Anne, who Shakespeare disregarded, and suicidal Juliet. Creative license abounds, of course, but the script breezes over the fact that if Romeo is alive, then Juliet is still married. That puts a kink in major plot developments. In the end, the show has no fewer than three separate conclusions.

To see or not to see any or all of that as just nitpicking? Theatregoers out for a silly good time likely won’t care as they hum along with *& Juliet*.

It is rare for new plays to feature a cast made up entirely of young women, and *All Nighter* gives some of today’s newest stars a chance to come together and tell a compelling story. Shows like *The Wolves* and *Men on Boats* have given young women such a platform before, and Margolin is creating further opportunities for talented female performers while sharing a story that centers their voices.

In *All Nighter*, it’s finals week at a small liberal arts college. The hours pass, the pressure mounts — and as daylight breaks, are the friends as ready to face each other as they are for their exams? Margolin’s new play explores how, even for the people you love the most, there’s a limit to how much you can take.

Recommended for audience members 12+.

## What to watch for

- Natalie Margolin is a writer on the rise: Playbill named her one of twenty playwrights to put on your radar in 2019.
- Margolin’s previous play, *The Power of Punctuation*, premiered off Broadway. The New York Times called it "eye-opening. A smart and incisive oasis of entertainment.”
- Before Kathryn Gallagher scored a Tony nomination, she was also seen on Broadway in the Deaf West production of *Spring Awakening* as the Voice of Martha.
- Alyah Chanelle Scott is also a producer, winning the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical for *Parade*. She was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play for *A Doll's House*, starring Jessica Chastain.

Pulling an all-nighter together, books crack open, and the pressure mounts.

It’s unclear, as the night grows deeper, if they’ll survive it together when daylight breaks. 

Margolin is a writer on the rise: Playbill listed her as a playwright to put on your radar in 2019, and readings of her shows have featured acclaimed talents like Beanie Feldstein and Ben Platt.

Now, she offers audiences a rare kind of play: one that centers young female friendship. Bringing together some of today’s most sought-after talents of stage and screen, All Nighter promises audiences an incisive and singular look at one friend group’s hilarious and fraught dynamics.

A classic musical, *Gypsy* takes place just as the once-popular vaudeville industry is declining in the early 20th century. Nonetheless, the constant dreamer and unbearable stage mom Momma Rose looks to push her daughter June into the spotlight at any cost — traveling the country, sweet-talking an agent (and her love interest), and neglecting June's less talented sister, Louise, who against all odds ends up as one of the burlesque scene’s most famous strippers. But as Rose remains in the shadows as Louise’s career ascends, she must come to terms with her own lack of self-love.

Bess Wohl, a Tony Award nominee for her Broadway play *Grand Horizons*, is known for plays of varying styles that all offer more than meets the eye. *Camp Siegfried* is based on the real New York campground that was seemingly idyllic but was where American children of German descent were taught Nazi ideology. *Small Mouth Sounds* followed participants unraveling at a silent retreat, and her musical *Pretty Filthy* dove into the private and professional lives of adult film stars.

Often highly imaginative but based in detailed research, Wohl’s plays have enjoyed critical acclaim, extensions, and many recognitions. She’s been nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award and Drama Desk Award and also won a Outer Critics Circle Award. 

Now, her new play takes audience to 1970, where six women, all strangers, gather at a community center’s basement gym to discuss their aspirations. Half a century later, their daughters meet up and wonder: what the hell actually happened all those years ago? 

## What to watch for

- Like Bess Wohl, director Whitney White is equally lauded: she directed the many New York and regional productions of *What to Send Up When It Goes Down* and is an Obie Award winner.
- This is not the first time Wohl has played with different time periods in a play; previously, in *Make Believe*, young actors and adult professionals played a trio of siblings across the decades.
- Roundabout Theatre Company is known for splashy Broadway musical revivals, as with the upcoming *[The Pirates of Penzance](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/38596-the-pirates-of-penzance-on-broadway)*, but it also produces and supports resign artists, as at its more intimate venue, the Laura Pels Theatre.
- Even before its premiere this play is generating buzz; *Liberation* is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award.

An electric play about the open conversations these women shared behind closed doors, *Liberation* comes to Roundabout Theatre Company this winter for a limited run. Award-winning playwright Wohl is known for her pointed but moving works, which are often sly and reveal more than meets the eye. Such plays have made her a popular fixture of off Broadway over the past decade. A Drama Desk Award and Lortel Award nominee for the musical *Pretty Filthy*, she has also written *Grand Horizons, Small Mouth Sounds, Make Believe*, and *Camp Siegfried*.

White is also an accomplished New York artist, earning an Obie Award and directing the groundbreaking *What to Send Up When it Goes Down* along with productions at The Public Theater, Steppenwolf, and other esteemed theatres. Now, these two women pair up to tell a singular story about sisterhood found in unexpected places over the decades, and the sturdy legacies we attempt to build. Tickets to *Liberation* are on sale with New York Theatre Guide.
