Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.


Six is a contemporary British musical that looks at the lives of the wives of Henry VIII, who are notorious for their ascent then usual descent from Queen-Consort to losing their heads about it, in more ways than one. But how close does "Six: The Musical" represent the lives of these women who rose the ranks of nobility to land in Henry's courtship? Can we ever truly get close to what their reality was? Did Anne Boleyn have an extra finger? Did Anne of Cleves have the face of a horse? Watch this Part 1 of 2 to find out more about the adultery, scandal and betrayal that faced each and every one of these women.


In this video, we take a look at the written lives of these women and then compare it to how Six represents them in another entry to our: 'How close to the truth is...' series.
