It’s not just Hadestown, another musical pro-shot is on its way. The SIX: The Musical live stage film is screening in movie theatres beginning August 14, starring the original West End cast. In celebration, those OG queens have been surprising fans all across New York City. See photos in the gallery below of their adventures.

First, Jarnéia Richard-Noel, Laura Dawn Pyatt, Natalie May Paris, Alexia McIntosh, Aimie Atkinson, and Maiya Quansah-Breed surprised fans at an NYC screening of the film.

SIX the Musical Live! will arrive in cinemas around the country August 14. Focus Features will handle domestic distribution for the studio.

The film was previously released in U.K. cinemas via Universal Pictures April 6, 2025, and in Australia, grossing over $8.5 million combined.

London’s original Queens returned to reprise their roles for the cinematic release, including Jarnéia Richard-Noel as Catherine of Aragon, Millie O’Connell as Anne Boleyn, Natalie Paris as Jane Seymour, Alexia McIntosh as Anna of Cleves, Aimie Atkinson as Katherine Howard, and Maiya Quansah-Breed as Catherine Parr.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss‘ international hit musical—about the six wives of Henry VIII—was directed for the stage by Moss and Jamie Armitage, directed for film by Liz Clare, and produced by Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes, George Stiles, and Dione Orrom.

UPCG Executive Vice President Helen Parker said in an earlier statement, “As pioneers of the theatrical event cinema model, Universal Pictures Content Group enjoyed the privilege of working with outstanding leading producers from the world of musical theatre on their globally successful highly acclaimed live shows, from Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Stephen Schwartz, and many more. We can’t wait to bring U.K. cinema goers across the country a chance to sing their hearts out to the exceptional SIX the Musical Live! this April.”

Creators Marlow and Moss added, “We had so much fun making this film with the most incredible team of filmmakers and creatives, and it was so special to be reunited with the exceptionally talented and iconic original West End queens. We’re so grateful that we had opportunity to film the show, and that we get to share SIX with a wider audience in this new and exciting way. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!!!”

SIX debuted in 2017 at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Winner of over 35 international awards, including two 2022 Tony Awards, the musical can be seen on Broadway at the Lena Horne Theatre and in London at the Vaudeville.
