The multi-award-winning theatrical phenomenon "Six" has unveiled a brand-new cast for its highly anticipated 2026 touring production. The newly appointed company is scheduled to officially take over royal duties on Wednesday, July 15, launching at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley before embarking on an extensive journey across the United Kingdom and China.
Stepping into the spotlight as the Tudor queens are Madison Swan as Catherine of Aragon, Izi Maxwell as Anne Boleyn, Laura Dawkes as Jane Seymour, Hannah Victoria as Anna of Cleves, Lizzie Emery as Katherine Howard, and Eloise Lord as Catherine Parr. Joining the lineup as alternates are Lorren Santo-Quinn, Rosie Singha, and Erin Summerhayes, alongside super swings Selen Berry and Darcy Stewart. The stellar cast will be backed live on stage by the show’s signature all-female band, The Ladies in Waiting, under the musical direction of Yutong Zhang.
Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the critically acclaimed pop-concert musical remixes five centuries of historical heartbreak into an energetic, 80-minute celebration of contemporary girl power. The narrative gives a microphone to the six wives of Henry VIII, allowing them to step out of the shadow of their infamous spouse and reclaim their own personal perspectives.
The production has garnered over 35 major international awards, including Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design. The show's music continues to achieve unprecedented global commercial success, with the official studio album turning Platinum this year and the catalog surpassing 5.5 billion cumulative streams.
The new cast will perform across the UK through September 26, visiting major cities including Salford, Sheffield, and Edinburgh. Following the initial domestic leg, the production will embark on a prestigious 12-week tour of China, running until December 20. The ongoing domestic tour is currently booking box-office-breaking dates well into 2027, ensuring the royal musical's record-setting residency on the global stage shows no signs of slowing down.
