Theatre Reviews, Author: Alan Bresloff
Chicago is a theater community that is adored all over the world. Pre-Broadway shows get their lives here, staged readings produce plays that will grow to become major players in the future and when it comes to theatrical venues, there is no finer facility than the Chicago Shakespeare Theater at Navy Pier. European companies love to come here and they know that our audiences are thrilled to have them. That being said, with the new addition of “The Yard”, that flexible venue next to the main stage, they are presenting the North American Premiere ( eat your hearts out Boston and New York) of “Six”, a pop-concert musical depicting the stories of the six ex-wives of King Henry VII. Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, this 80 minute show/concert is full of fun and history mixed together to appeal to audiences of all ages. As I told Jane, you do not have to be a historian to “get it” which she saw as the six fantastic women they have doing this show brought their stories to life.
The songs are so part of the story that I am not sure they could ever stand on their own. They are “Ex-wives” and “Six” done by all six of our Queens and as I mentioned, each has their own solo telling us “their rest of their story”. This is one to truly find an opportunity to see.
