The U.K. tour of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss' international hit musical Six will welcome a new cast next month. The current company will play its final performance March 6 with the new company beginning March 8 at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford.
The new touring Queens will be played by Chlöe Hart as Catherine of Aragon, Jennifer Caldwell as Anne Boleyn, Casey Al-Shaqsy as Jane Seymour, Aiesha Pease as Anna of Cleves, Jaina Brock-Patel as Katherine Howard, and Alana M. Robinson as Catherine Parr. Grace Melville, Leesa Tulley, and Natalie Pilkington, also the dance captain, will join the cast as alternates with Harriet Caplan-Dean as the super swing.
The company is backed by the show’s all-female band, The Ladies in Waiting.
Six follows the six wives of Henry VIII as they take to the mic to tell their own personal tales, remixing 500 years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power.
Six is co-directed by Moss and Jamie Armitage and features choreography by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, set design by Emma Bailey, costume design by Gabriella Slade, lighting design by Tim Deiling, and sound design by Paul Gatehouse. The production also has orchestrations by Tom Curran, music supervision and vocal arrangements by Joe Beighton, musical direction by Jennifer Deacon, U.K. musical supervision by Katy Richardson, and casting by Pearson Casting.
