Global Sensation SIX the Musical on its way to Newcastle

The Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon SIX is set to make its Newcastle debut, bringing its electrifying retelling of Tudor history to the Civic Theatre for a limited three-week season from 10 April.
The Australian production, which reimagines Henry VIII's six wives as powerful pop stars reclaiming their narratives, will arrive in Newcastle following successful runs in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. With over 3.5 million viewers worldwide each year and more than 1 billion streaming figures, SIX has become a cultural phenomenon that bridges historical storytelling with contemporary pop music.
"Securing this spectacular production was a major coup for City of Newcastle," says Lord Mayor Dr Ross Kerridge.
"There's no doubt SIX the Musical will be the hottest ticket in town when it hits the stage in April. For locals and visitors alike, it is fantastic having great events like this here in Newcastle, particularly in our beautiful Civic Theatre."
The stellar Australian cast features Kimberley Hodgson as Catherine of Aragon, Deirdre Khoo as Anne Boleyn, Loren Hunter as Jane Seymour, Zelia Rose Kitoko as Anna of Cleves, Chelsea Dawson as Katherine Howard, and Giorgia Kennedy as Catherine Parr. The production is supported by a talented on-stage band led by Music Director Claire Healy. Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX has garnered 35 major international awards, including two Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design. The show's innovative approach to historical storytelling has created a devoted global fanbase, known as the 'Queendom,' and has gained massive popularity on social media platforms.
"SIX is truly a global phenomenon. In Australia it has enjoyed rapturous acclaim from both critics and audiences alike," says Producer Louise Withers.
"We are beyond thrilled that SIX will be coming to Newcastle, and we look forward to making more fans and breaking more records when we arrive!"
This high-octane, 80-minute production promises to deliver mega-watt entertainment while enthralling audiences with its contemporary take on Tudor history.
