Sorry, not sorry about what I said...

"Six" runs through June 7 at Dr. Phillips Center. (WKMG)

Right now, you can check out the “Divorced, Beheaded, LIVE” tour here in Central Florida!

Hey, I’m News 6 producer Brooke Savage, the writer behind this Setting The Stage newsletter.

Let’s check out what performances are taking the stage. ⤵


👑 Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived

The North American Tour of "Six." (Joan Marcus)

The six wives of King Henry VIII are reclaiming their stories and taking the microphone. “SIX” transforms the historical figures into a pop girl group, and it is an experience! I had the chance to see the show with my mom, and we had a blast. I can see why the musical is so popular.

I also had the chance to chat with Emma Elizabeth Smith, who plays Catherine of Aragon, and Nella Cole, who plays Anne Boleyn.

See the full interview and ticket info.
