'SIX' reveals new West End Queens

The new company will feature a mix of old and new faces, including Jaz Robinson as Catherine of Aragon and Thao Therese Nguyen as Anne Boleyn.

Don't lose your head, but Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s musical SIX has just announced its new cast, which takes over at the Vaudeville Theatre from 18 February.

The new company will feature a mix of old and new faces. Jaz Robinson takes on the role of Catherine of Aragon, having played the part in the Canadian production from 2023-4. Thao Therese Nguyen will continue as Anne Boleyn, Hana Stewart — who was previously a swing at the Vaudeville, as well as an alternate in the West End and on Broadway — will play Jane Seymour, and Dionne Ward-Anderson will once more play Anna of Cleves. Caitlyn De Kuyper will join as Katherine Howard and Amelia Kinu Muus as Catherine Parr.

Also joining are Leonor Correia as Alternate Seymour/Howard, Honey Joseph as Alternate Aragon/Cleves, and Odelia Dizel-Cubuca as Alternate Boleyn/Parr. Shakira Simpson and Laura Baxter will join Meg Dixon-Brasil as West End SuperSwings.

The on-stage band, the Ladies in Waiting, includes Beth Jerem as musical director/keys, Alice Angliss on drums, Emma Jemima on guitar, Kelly Morris on bass, and Sinéad Rodger as assistant musical director.

Written by Marlow and Moss, SIX reimagines the story of the six wives of Henry VIII, blending history with pop music to bring the queens into the 21st century.

The production’s creative team includes direction by Moss and Jamie Armitage, choreography by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, set design by Emma Bailey, costume design by Gabriella Slade, lighting design by Tim Deiling, sound design by Paul Gatehouse, musical orchestration by Tom Curran, and musical supervision by Joe Beighton.
