Adrianna Hicks says her role as Catherine of Aragon in 'Six' comes with “great responsibility.” A friend once said her Black daughter exclaimed 'Mommy, she has hair just like me!' while watching Hicks perform – a comment that made it all worthwhile.

Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss when they were Cambridge University students,"Six" tells the story behind that catchy historical phrase learned by British school children:"Six" restores the women to their rightful place in history, with lives far more profound than the rhyme implies. The show casts the queens as a girl group, competing in a reality show to determine which had the worst fate and therefore deserves to be the group's lead singer.

Jane Seymour is said to be the Queen who most loved Henry — a love that the king returned. She died in childbirth and is buried next to Henry. Abby Mueller sings her gut-wrenching"Heart of Stone." Henry's last wife Catherine Parr survives him and goes on to love again. She sings the ennobling"I Don't Need Your Love," which unites all the queens in the realization that they are victors, not victims or competitors — and at least on the stage over a hundred years later. After Anna Uzele left the show, Joy Woods now plays Parr.

Some of the actors giggled knowingly when Pauly shared that, like a lot of people, she'd had time for therapy during the COVID closing. And like her queen Katherine Howard, Pauly began to process her own traumas.
