About

The Tiny Desk concert featuring the cast of SIX The Musical was a highly anticipated event that showcased the talents of the actors and band behind the pop-concert-style musical retelling the stories of Henry VIII's six wives. The performance was filled with energy, with each queen embodying the persona of a modern-day popstar such as Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Adele, Lizzo, Britney Spears, and Celine Dion.

Originating as a British musical comedy penned by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, SIX The Musical premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017 before making its way to the West End and eventually reaching Broadway in February 2020. The show presents the lives of Henry VIII's wives in the format of a singing competition, where each queen shares her story to determine who suffered the most from their shared husband.

The Tiny Desk concert not only highlighted the vocal prowess and stage presence of the cast but also brought a fresh and modern take to historical storytelling through music. The event marked a captivating fusion of history and contemporary pop culture, leaving the audience enchanted by the unique concept and stellar performances.
