Trending
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center will present the live theater capture of the hit musical "SIX," nominated for eight Tony Awards in 2022, as part of Arts in the Afternoon on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Captured live at London's Vaudeville Theatre, "SIX the Musical Live!" brings audiences an electrifying cinematic event starring the six original West End Queens, each returning to the roles that helped ignite a global phenomenon.
Seen by more than 3.5 million people worldwide, the Tony Award-winning smash hit SIX has ruled the stage since its explosive debut, becoming one of the most successful and talked-about musicals of the past decade. Part concert, part musical, and all attitude, SIX remixes history through a high-energy pop soundtrack as the six wives of Henry VIII step out of their husband's shadow to claim the spotlight, and their stories, on their own terms.
Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, this bold, feminist musical for the ages transforms Tudor queens into modern icons as Catherine of Aragon (Jarnéia Richard-Noel), Anne Boleyn (Millie O'Connell), Jane Seymour (Natalie Paris), Anna of Cleves (Alexia McIntosh), Katherine Howard (Aimie Atkinson), and Catherine Parr (Maiya Quansah-Breed) battle it out center stage through infectious, empowering anthems, powerhouse vocals, and razor-sharp humor. Backed by the sensational on-stage band, the Ladies in Waiting, the show delivers nonstop hits with the feel of a stadium concert and the heart of a Broadway classic.
Still running on Broadway, the musical was nominated for eight 2022 Tony Awards including for Best Musical. It won the awards for Best Original Score, and Best Costume Design in a Musical. This production runs one hour, 35 minutes, with no intermission.
