On November SIXth, the Museum of Broadway officially opened its special exhibit, “SIX: The Royal Gallery,” honoring Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s esteemed show, SIX The Musical.
The premise of SIX revolves around the six wives of Henry VIII. Throughout the performance, his queens compete against each other to see who can successfully be the leader of their group. The audience learns more about each of the queens’ lives, from divorces to executions, and continuously empowers the viewers with the show’s feminist pop songs.
The musical debuted on Broadway in October of 2021 and has not only been immensely successful in New York City, but it has been a smash hit for years throughout the UK, where it originated. The compositions have taken TikTok by storm, specifically SIX’s acclaimed song, “Don’t Lose Your Head.” Famous influencers, Charli D’Amelio and Loren Gray, have utilized the sound and so have thousands of others, as it’s been used nearly 700,000 times.
The museum hosted an exclusive cocktail party, where The Knockturnal was invited to see the gallery opening day. Wines and purple and blue cocktails were served, as attendees walked through the gorgeous exhibit, which displayed eccentric costumes and creative fan art from around the world. There were also interactive activities for guests who wanted to learn about the history of these legendary women, and many party-goers sat on the SIX Royal Throne, where they took fabulous selfies with each other for socials.
In attendance were past and present queens, including SIX’s original Broadway cast members, Adrianna Hicks, Andrea Macasaet, Brittney Mack, and Sam Pauly, and current cast members Bella Coppola, Zoe Jensen, Kristina Leopold, Aubrey Matalon, Nasia Thomas, and Hailee Kaleem Wright. Former cast members were there as well, including Bre Jackson; Meghan Picerno, Marti Gould Cummings, Sam Ratelle, and more.
The exhibit can now be viewed by the public after purchasing a ticket on themuseumofbroadway.com/tickets. Fans can keep an eye out for future events on SIX’s social channels and the Queendom email list.
