Following a sell-out run at the Empire in April 2022, the multi award-winning musical SIX, written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss is back by popular demand, returning to the Liverpool Empire in May 2024 following a sell-out run in 2022.

SIX follows the six wives of Henry VIII as they take to the mic to tell their own personal tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power.
