 The Queens are ready to reign supreme in Manila as Kenny Wax, Wendy & Andy Barnes and George Stiles, in association with GMG Productions, proudly presents the hit musical directly from the West End, SIX the Musical.

The production is set to dazzle Filipino audiences with its revolutionary take on history and music, with a strictly limited season in Manila, running from October 1 to October 20, 2024 at the Theatre at Solaire. 

SIX tells the extraordinary story of the six wives of King Henry VIII, who step out of the shadow of their infamous husband and reclaim their own narratives. Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the modern-pop inspired musical brings these historical figures to life, portraying them as fierce and influential pop stars in their own right. Audiences are taken on a journey through the lives of Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr, each telling their own story and reclaiming their own narrative. 

Since its debut at the Edinburgh Festival in 2017, SIX has received widespread critical acclaim, leaving audience enthralled by its infectious energy, catchy tunes, and empowering message. UK’s The Daily Telegraph called it “A theatrical phenomenon”, while US’ Vogue writes the show as “A rioutous explosion of wit that speaks strongly and vibrantly to today.” 

SIX has also received well-deserved recognition in the industry, winning 35 major international awards, including two prestigious Tony Awards and a Grammy nomination. Today, the global hit has been seen by over 3.5 million people worldwide every year since its premiere, and has toured internationally in the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Korea. 

Carlos Candal, GMG Productions’ CEO, expressed his excitement, "Bringing SIX The Musical to Manila is a momentous occasion. The energy and impact of this production are unparalleled, and we believe Manila audiences are in for a royal treat. This is not just a show but an experience that celebrates the strength and resilience of women in a way that is both entertaining and empowering."
