The global musical phenomenon SIX is coming to Helena, bringing its retelling of Henry VIII's six wives as a pop concert-style showdown to a local stage. The show — which turned a mnemonic (divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived) into a full theatrical production — has become one of the most talked-about musicals of the past several years.
The production reimagines the six queens as pop icons competing to tell their own stories, drawing on everything from Beyoncé to Ariana Grande in its musical palette. It's the kind of show that draws both theater regulars and people who haven't been to a live musical in years.
Ticket and venue details are available through the local presenter. Helena's arts calendar has been active this spring, and SIX represents one of the higher-profile touring productions to come through.
