Central Massachusetts theater fans are in for a royal treat this week as the electrifying, Tony Award-winning musical SIX storms the stage at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts.

The Broadway sensation, which has earned critical acclaim and a massive fan following worldwide, runs for a limited engagement from Tuesday, October 14, through Sunday, October 19. This run offers a prime opportunity for those who missed the sold-out Boston stop last year to finally experience the show that has critics and audiences "losing their heads."

SIX boldly remixes five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a euphoric celebration of 21st-century feminine strength. The musical reimagines the six ill-fated wives of Henry VIII—Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr—not as historical footnotes, but as high-energy, pop-fueled concert divas.

The show has been lauded by critics globally, and its soundtrack has become one of the most streamed cast albums of all time. It’s an infectious, fierce, and unforgettable experience that appeals to pop music lovers and history buffs alike.
