Ain&#8217;t no party like a dead queens&#8217; party &#8211; this cast is on fire!



Killing it for 80 fierce minutes (no interval so plenty of time for after-show cocktails &#8211; love!) six Tudor Queens grab the mic for a full-throated sing-off, competing to see who took the most sh*t from their shared monster of a husband, Henry VIII. Yeah, that guy in support tights who liked to chop and change his wives.

Subtle it ain&#8217;t. Belting through power ballads, R&amp;B and techno with fabulously witty lyrics &#8211; &#8220;Tried to elope but the Pope said nope&#8221; these sisters sing the house down. There&#8217;s a Queenspiration for each wife. Catherine of Aragon (Lauren Drew) pulses Beyoncé sass, Jane Seymour (Caitlin Tipping) echoes soulful Adele and Norfolk&#8217;s fave beheaded babe Anne Boleyn (Jennifer Caldwell) channels cheeky Lily Allen. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Stream the soundtrack (opens in a new tab)" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5jTDaLFNQovRyjNcWe4cZh?autoplay=true" target="_blank">Stream the soundtrack</a> to check out all SIX!

The all-girl band shares the stage in studded masks and the fabulously glitzy costumes flash with crystal bling. We loved Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard&#8217;s diamond chokers &#8211; ooh wonder how those two met their deaths? Pretty ruff, right?

In place of a curtain call, the Queens encourage the audience to film the encore number &#8216;Megasix&#8217; and share it on socials. Phones out girls!



More like being at a gig than the theatre, my teenage daughters were on a historic high and immediately wanted to see it again. People lose their heads over SIX and the audience was buzzing with tribute hairstyles. Who says revisionist feminist historians don&#8217;t wear space buns?

Take Hamilton, shake with Lucy Worsley and chuck in a whole lotta Spice, Girls! That&#8217;s how Toby Marlow&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lucy Moss cooked up a &#8216;Historemixed&#8217; pop-concert musical whilst still studying for their Cambridge degrees. Who even cares about a first when you&#8217;ve been streamed over 100 million times and rule the realm of TikTok? 



We&#8217;re not surprised it&#8217;s won pretty much every award going except Bake-Off, but give &#8217;em time and these Pop Princesses will probably nab that as well. 



Best tour in the whole Queendom. Time to SIX it up. Sorry (not sorry!)

PS. You&#8217;ll love our fave line “try these heels, so high it’s naughty, but we can’t guarantee you’ll still walk at 40”. Hey &#8211; no-one said wearing stilettos was easy. But we&#8217;ve known that for centuries, haven&#8217;t we ladies?
