SIX
Henry VIII is perhaps one of the most extraordinary figures in English history, leaving not only the legacy of his extreme deeds but also the legend of his six marriages.
Schedule
Six wives, six different personalities, six extraordinary lives. Yet they all chose the same man, and all but two of them did not survive (...their husbands).
SIX evokes these extraordinary stories in the unusual but all the more explosive form of a concert musical. The six queens are reborn as fierce pop divas and the (singing) race for the title of the most regal queen is on. Captivating, effervescent tracks alternate, different musical styles are pitted against each other, accompanied by a female orchestra.
This time, enterprising viewers can not only watch from the auditorium, but also take a seat on the stage in the throne room.
SIX has won three Drama Desk and two Tony Awards in 2020. It has been nominated in five categories for the Laurence Olivier Award and the Grammy Award for Best New Musical Album.
Madách Theater
There is still an “era” in the Madách Theater. The era of the rise and success of musical theater. The change began in 1983 with Cats, whose decades-long series of success provided a solid foundation for the next defining step: the legendary 2003 performance of The Phantom of the Opera. Both performances were directed by Tamás Szirtes, who was elected director of the Madách Theater in 2004. Under his direction, the Madách Theater embarked on a path that has resulted in a successful musical theater of outstanding quality. World-famous musicals line up in his program, which are usually in large blocks, so-called they are staged according to the en suite playing order, and each performance remains on the show for years. The basic aim of the theater is to give the viewer the same experience even after 10 years as at the premiere.
