My Family’s Experience Seeing Six on Broadway

When my family and I saw Six on Broadway Theatre District in New York City, we weren’t quite sure what to expect—but we ended up loving it. The show felt less like a traditional musical and more like being at a high-energy pop concert. From the first song to the last, the actors were fun, energetic, and completely engaging.

The music was one of my favorite parts. The songs are upbeat and incredibly catchy—the kind that get stuck in your head long after you leave the theater. Each queen steps forward to tell her story through music, and the performers have so much personality that it’s impossible not to get pulled into the show..  One of my favorite songs from Six the Musical is No Way. I love how fun and upbeat it feels, even though it tells the story of Anne Boleyn, whose life ended so tragically. The confident, “sorry not sorry” attitude in the song makes it feel powerful and modern, and it really shows how the queens in the musical get to tell their stories in their own bold way.

Another favorite song of mine from Six the Musical is Haus of Holbein. I love the funny part about not liking her profile picture, because it makes the story feel so modern and relatable. The song is silly, catchy, and a really creative way to show how Henry VIII was basically choosing wives the way people might scroll through a dating site today. 

My personal favorite queen was Catherine Howard, especially during the song All You Wanna Do. That number was powerful and emotional, reflecting how she was very young when she became queen and how powerful men in her life pressured her—something historians now say contributed to her tragic fate. My whole family ended up picking their favorite queens during the show—but in the end we all agreed they’re best when they perform together.
