Just came back from the wonderful, powerful Broadway show "Six", which shows six strong women with six incredibly strong voices representing the ex-wives of Henry VIII.
I love the modern twist in style and song that the show places in each of their stories.
Without giving too much away, I would say that what I LOVED about the show were the vocals and the diversity of voices they cast. I LOVED the people of color representation, and I've heard some of the best solos I've heard in my entire life on that stage.
What I thought could improve was the reckoning at the end. It's true that the six wives reclaimed their glory by spinning the take to say Henry VIII was in fact remembered because of how distinct and powerful their stories were, but I would have almost liked the show to connect these powerful and somewhat traumatic stories to the day to day. How can a woman living in a society now who maybe hasn't faced such a traumatic story connect to the message?
There were some deep opportunities to connect their experiences to a deeper meaning that I felt was lost.
Overall though I would still see the show. The glitz, soul, glamor, and love just poured through and all the actresses were absolutely amazing!!!
Would HIGHLY recommend it!
