SIX the Musical To Be Performed In Japanese This Autumn
The Japanese cast of the hit musical SIX will perform in London from 4-9 November at the Vaudeville Theatre.
SIX will be performed in Japanese - with English captions - marking the first time the production will be performed in the West End in a different language.
The Japanese cast will feature Sonim as Aragon, Maho Minamoto and Meimi Tamura alternating as Boleyn, Eliana and Marie Sugaya alternating as Cleves, Harumi as Seymour, Airi Suzuki and Erika Toyohara alternating as Howard, and Sora Kazuki and Ruki Saito alternating as Parr.
All of them will be making their debuts in the West End with Aoi Tanaka as musical director.
Producer Kenny Wax said in a statement: "It’s incredible to see how SIX has resonated with audiences around the world, and we are thrilled to welcome our wonderful Japanese cast members to London so they can reprise the roles they played so brilliantly in Japan. "We, and the incredible current London cast, can’t wait for audiences to experience the Queens in a whole new way."
SIX the Musical was created by Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow. The show reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as a pop girl group ready to share the stories of their colourful lives and - sometimes - infamous deaths. SIX has been showcased in London since 2019 and has received nominations for five Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical.
