#TheaterPH - A Night to Remember: Gala Night of SIX The Musical at The Theatre at Solaire
Last night was nothing short of spectacular as I attended the Gala night of SIX The Musical at The Theatre at Solaire. The excitement began early in the afternoon with a media conference where the press had the chance to get up close and personal with the talented cast: Billie Kerr, Yna Tresvalles, Liberty Stottor, Hannah Victoria, Lizzie Emery, and Eloise Lord.
Each actress brought their unique flair to the characters they portrayed, making the historical figures of Henry VIII’s wives come alive in a modern, empowering way. Billie Kerr’s portrayal of Catherine of Aragon was fierce and commanding, setting the tone for the show. Yna Tresvalles as Anne Boleyn was cheeky and playful, adding a touch of humor to the narrative. Liberty Stottor’s Jane Seymour was heartfelt and emotional, resonating deeply with the audience. Hannah Victoria’s Anne of Cleves was bold and confident, while Lizzie Emery’s Katherine Howard was both vulnerable and strong. Eloise Lord as Catherine Parr brought wisdom and grace, tying the stories of these remarkable women together.
The experience was incredibly immersive, feeling more like a concert of your favorite girl group than a traditional musical. The energy was electric, with the audience cheering and clapping along to the catchy tunes and powerful performances. The modern pop concert vibe, complete with dazzling lights and dynamic choreography, made it an unforgettable night.
SIX The Musical is relevant today because it reclaims the stories of these historical women, giving them a voice and agency that history often denied them. It highlights themes of empowerment, resilience, and sisterhood, which resonate strongly in today’s world. The takeaway for the audience is clear: it’s a celebration of women’s strength and individuality, reminding us that everyone has a story worth telling.
Don’t miss out on this incredible show, running until October 20. Whether you’re a history buff, a musical theater fan, or just looking for a fun night out, SIX The Musical is a must-see!
