They’re the queens of SIX: The Musical‘s Broadway castle (aka the Lena Horne Theatre)!
Two of the original U.K. stars of SIX are joining the Broadway Queendom. Natalie Paris and Aimie Atkinson, the Olivier Award-nominated original Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard, will make their Broadway debuts when they join the cast of the Tony-winning musical beginning August 17.
Paris and Atkinson will succeed Jasmine Forsberg and Abigail Barlow, respectively, who both depart August 16. Paris and Atkinson will join the previously announced Chloe Tucker Caine (Owning Manhattan) as Anne Boleyn and Stephanie Jae Park (Hamilton) as Catherine Parr, who also begin their runs August 17. Khaila Wilcoxon and Olivia Donalson will continue in their respective roles as Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves. Paris will play a limited run through December 13, and Atkinson will play her final performance at the matinee October 31, with the rest of the company playing into 2027.
