Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. So goes the rhyme intended to help remember the fate of the six wives of King Henry VIII. But in this revisionist take on historical events, the women tell their side of the story in the form of a musical, recorded live on a West End stage, where the show has become a hit. Stepping out of the shadow of their infamous husband, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr are brought together in a singing competition to determine which of them had the worst fate. But through song, the Tudor women also find empowerment and unity. This is high-energy entertainment that brings fresh perspectives to issues surrounding gender and politics.
