The full cast for Six on Broadway has been confirmed, ahead of Six performances resuming in September. Six will reopen at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre from September 17.

Six follows the sextet of Henry VIII's wives as they share their stories and become modern-day pop princesses. The Tudor history musical was written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, and picked up five Olivier Award nominations in 2019 including best new musical.
