The Wives of Henry VIII by Antonia Fraser

Six “didn’t come out of a love of the Tudor period particularly,” says Marlow, 26. L to R: Abby Mueller (Jane Seymour), Samantha Pauly (Katherine Howard), Adrianna Hicks (Catherine of Aragon), Andrea Macasaet (Anne Boleyn), BrittneyMack (Anna of Cleves) and Anna Uzele (Catherine Parr) (A cast soundtrack released in September 2018 similarly became an unqualified success.) Now, after an extended delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the musical is finally making its Broadway debut. The product of the pair’s collaboration- Six, a modern reimagining of the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives-premiered on London’s West End in 2019 to much acclaim.

Then an undergraduate student tasked with writing an original show for the upcoming Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Marlow brought his idea to classmate Lucy Moss, who agreed to help bring his vision of a Tudor-themed pop musical to life. Participating in a discussion on William Blake, he found his mind wandering and began scribbling a series of unrelated notes: “Henry VIII’s wives → like a girl group … Need Lucy!!” You may also wish to check out the other History books currently available in the Windmill Bookshop.Inspiration struck Toby Marlow during a comparative poetry class at Cambridge University in fall 2016.
