Six, the stellar Broadway musical hit about the six wives of Henry VIII, is unleashing its girl power at The Bushnell December 31-January 5, just a year after it played Hartford the first time. . Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss took the stories of a sextet of queens married to a monarch, and turned their tales of woe into a high-octane, super-charged musical that is part Broadway musical, part Beyonce-themed rock extravaganza, spiced with a little Rhianna, Avril Laveigne, and Adele thrown in,and all fun. The Tony Award winning score puts Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr center stage. For details: www.bushnell.org./
