About the show: Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived. From Tudor Queens to pop icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to remix 500 years of historical heartbreak into a euphoric celebration of 21st-century girl power. Winner of two 2022 Tony Awards, this original musical is a global sensation that people are losing their heads over!

What they're saying: SIX won 23 awards during the 2021-2022 Broadway season, including the Tony Award for Best Original Score and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. The New York Times says SIX "totally rules!" And The Washington Post hails SIX as "exactly the kind of energizing, inspirational illumination this town aches for!"
What makes the performance autism-friendly? To create an autism-friendly performance, the show is being performed in a welcoming, supportive environment for individuals on the autism spectrum, with sensory and communication disorders, or learning disabilities. Slight adjustments to lighting and sound will be made. In the downstairs theatre lobby, there will be a break area staffed by specialists in the field in case anyone needs to leave the theatre during the show. A downloadable Event Narrative with pictures of the theatre and the production will be available on this page, designed to personalize the experience for individuals wishing to prepare for the show. Additional resources for this performance such as a Character Guide and Guide to Attending the Show will also be available.
We can make no assurances that this performance will be suitable for everyone with autism. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for their children's viewing and engagement with the performance.
