Two of the original West End Queens will make their Broadway debuts as they join the cast of Six on Broadway.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s Tony Award-winning musical is a reimagining of the six wives of Henry VIII, directed by Moss and Jamie Armitage. The piece presents their stories through a modern lens, blending history and pop music.

The show continues its reign at the Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End, as well as playing in New York and internationally in Spain, China, Germany and Luxembourg, while also touring the UK and the US.

Nominated for Olivier Awards for originating the roles of Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard, Natalie Paris and Aimie Atkinson will reprise their roles at the Lena Horne Theatre.

The two were part of the original London cast and feature on the studio cast record. Last year, they took part in the record-breaking cinematic release, which reunited all of the original Queens. They also perform together in pop group SVN and have played concerts around the world.

Paris and Atkinson, who is currently starring in the West End premiere of Beetlejuicewill begin their Broadway stint on 17 August. Atkinson will play her final performance in Six at the matinee of 31 October, while Paris departs on 13 December.

They join Khaila Wilcoxon and Olivia Donalson, who continue in their respective roles as Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves. Further cast for the period is to be confirmed.

Six on Broadway is produced by Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes, George Stiles, and Kevin McCollum, co-directed by Moss and Jamie Armitage and features choreography by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille. The design team includes Emma Bailey (scenic design), Gabriella Slade (costume design), Tim Deiling (liighting design), and Paul Gatehouse (sound design). The score features orchestrations by Tom Curran with music supervision by Joe Beighton and US music supervision by Roberta Duchak. Casting is by The TRC Company / Peter Van Dam, CSA Theater Matters is general manager, Sam Levy is associate producer and Lucas McMahon is US executive producer.
