The six wives of Henry VIII are best known for their tragic ends. They have been described and told to us as the wives of a monarch with a reputation as a tyrant and lacking much compassion, whom Charles Dickens defined as "a blot of blood and grease on history." They were Catherine of Aragon, Anna Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr: two died executed shortly after giving birth; and of the other three, two had their marriage annulled by the king. All six are the protagonists of the musical. Six, which has won two Tony Awards, has been nominated for a Grammy, and has traveled around the world since its premiere in Edinburgh in 2017. It is seen by 3.5 million spectators a year, and this weekend it arrives in Barcelona. The six women—Henry VIII does not appear at any point, but is mentioned a lot—will dance and sing at the Teatre Coliseum until May 11.
