A Meeting of the Wives

TONY AWARD-winning Broadway sensation

SIX The Musical arrives at the San Diego Civic Theatre, June 27-July 9. Presented in the form of a pop concert, the campy British musical comedy—with music, book and lyrics by Roby Marlow and Lucy Moss—introduces us to the six wives of Henry VIII, who go from tudor queens to pop icons. In a modern retelling (spanning 500 years), each wife tells her story to see who suffered the most at the hands of the notorious, ruthless King of England, who reigned in the 1500s. The “winner” of this makeshift competition of sorts gets to be the lead singer of the band. The seemingly outrageous plotline somehow works, further enhanced by an electric score. In fact, the Broadway album, SIX: Live on Opening Night, surpassed 6 million streams in its first month— debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard cast album charts. 1100 Third Ave., downtown, broadwaysd.com
