This has been on my theatre watch list for a little while, but ive not been to see it yet. Ive heard a couple of songs which i have enjoyed & i do love a good histroy lesson, so when the girls said anyone want to come to Six, i leapt at the chance.

We went to the Dome in town (unfortunatly the screen with the bad seats, but was where Harry Styles was) & they let us into the screen late. It said the start time was 8pm. We were all let in at 8:10 & it wasnt like that screen had minecraft before it, no that screen had shown six all day. so god knows why. Its a long drawn out room but i would say it was at least 60% sold out. Lots of families but lots of people liek us going were not going to london lets go see this.

Trailers, smurfs, Stich, Elio that was all we saw by the time we had a chance to sit down.

& then the film started… Im glad ive seen this now but i wont be rushing up to london to see it.

I love that each queen was of a different pop diva icon, there was music for everyone if you didnt necessarily like the song before the last one. Each outfit was its own style to show how they are all the same but different too. It was like the spice girls on cocaine. There was one point where we went through a high power Ballard which was very much like Adele, & then the next song was European camp techno you expect at early 00s Eurovision. That was insane but epic.

I get that its a play but even for a plays standard it felt like it was rushed, that we had to quickly get through each queen to tell you about the next one. I was expectign a little more time on each of them that we got. I mean im glad we got the reprise at the end but even that felt very quick & done & dusted.

If you dont know about henrys 6 wives, its a very clever at catchy way to have a history lesson for sure. Fun & high energy & you are likely to remember a couple of them & be like ooooh yes of course.

I didnt like that when the final queen got to speak she want nah & the film kind of swapped to a different way of ending like it had ended a tv show & then when they started singing again it didnt like leap back in. Who ever in production through that should be the way to do that got it very wrong. Felt so out of place. Just brining up the house lights would have been fine.

They all did sing so well & the band behind them were amazing.

It was also very weird to have the like extra bit with these kind of productions happen before the film or show instead of afterwards. Also because it started so quickly lots of people were talking through it. & then it didnt have anything after the production either.

I am glad i have seen this, but im also glad i didnt spend a fortune to go up to london & watch this. ITs decent but now ive seen it, unless its down here for like £30 i aint goign to bother.
