A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
The Hockaday Theatre Company presents
“Yep – Tudor womanhood – would recommend,” is the facetious advice Catherine Parr gives the audience after describing her life with multiple husbands, their deaths, and the societal requirement for her to remarry or risk becoming an outcast. Initially, this line lands with the same dark comedy wit with which the authors of SIX have written their Tudor Pop Queen script. But there’s something different about Catherine’s cadence that cuts our laugher short. She gives up on the joke. Seemingly exhausted of making light of her captive autobiography, the punch line trails off in her voice. This is the moment when Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow explain why they wrote a musical about the six wives of Henry VIII coming back from the dead to put on a pop concert competition to decide who is America’s favorite historic British queen. Most Americans couldn’t name a British queen besides Elizabeth II and if we had to choose our favorite queen, we would most likely choose Freddie Mercury or Elsa of Arendelle. Yet, SIX The Musical is a megahit in the United States. It has been playing to sold out audiences on Broadway since 2021. The national touring company of SIX has set box office records across the country. Add London, Toronto, UK and Australia tours and there are six companies of SIX (See what they did there?) playing simultaneously around the world. Yes, Anne Boleyn had a famous sixth finger, but I don’t think that is what sells the tickets. SIX is a hit because a story about women, only women, “without a single man to tell [them] what to do with it,” is still a novelty. Yes, the music bops and the lights pop but behind the glitz and glam are six tragic stories of abuse and trauma. Stories that read with a chilling modern relevance. Stories that women share centuries apart. I imagine the real Catherine Parr sitting in the audience of our production of SIX. She was, afterall, a scholar and proponent of women’s education. What would she think of her story being told at a prestigious school for girls? Proud, I hope. Amazed even! But perhaps she might also think – as she gazes into the sparklingly intelligent eyes of the actress portraying her five hundred years in the future – how is it that she seems to relate so well? Thank you for supporting live theatre!
