_ _ _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ think that was the sassiest history lesson I have ever had.
Now, we all think we know the story of Henry VIII,
but it's never been told in such a modern and exciting way.
How do audiences react when they come to see the musical?
It's all about empowering women.
_ _ The audiences absolutely adore it.
It's full of fun and it's so energetic.
You're about to hit the road on a nationwide tour,
and I hear many school trips have been arranged to come and see you. That's exciting.
Yeah, we are so excited, and we feel so lucky
that we can take this show out to people
who might not be able to get to London to see it
and really share the message of six and show [G] them
that support on one another [N] is so important,
especially to those young people.
History that's exciting and entertaining.
Ladies and gentlemen, the cast of Six. _ _ _ _
