-Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
From Tudor Queens to pop queens,
the six wives of Henry VIII have remixed 500 years
of historical heartbreak into a celebration
of 21st-century female empowerment.
Performing "Get Down," please welcome
Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert, Andrea Macasaet, Abby Mueller,
Brittney Mack, Samantha Pauly, and Joy Woods --
the Queens from the eight-time Tony-nominated
"Six: The Musical."
