NEW - SIX - Talkin' Broadway's Review
Posted by: T.B._Admin. 10:05 pm EDT 10/03/21

Howard Miller takes a look at Six:

#MeToo. #MeToo. #MeToo. #MeToo. #MeToo. #MeToo. Or to go by its official title, Six, the super-pumped pop musical with a pre-pumped fan base that opened tonight in an explosion of female empowerment at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Resistance is futile. Not to mention misogynistic.

It's a "global sensation." Haha! (Isn't everything on Broadway nowadays a "global sensation?" Or going to be if the flacks say so?)

SIX! has actually had many productions across the globe--Scotland, West End, North American tour, Norwegian Cruise Lines, UK Tour, Australia, New Zealand, and now Bway.

It's definitely, global. I can't speak to whether it's a sensation.

Critic's Pick.
------------------
The wit of the conception and the execution — the songs are a slick blend of pop grooves, tight lyrics and old-fashioned musical theater craft — goes a long way toward keeping the show from sagging. (The almost indecently short 80-minute run time also helps.) The texture is kept sparkly by salvos of puns (“live in consort”) and thematically dense by the threading of themes. Musical themes, too: Though the score samples hip-hop, electronica, house music and soul, one recurrent melody, introduced on harpsichord during the preshow, is “Greensleeves,” supposedly written by Henry as a love token to Anne Boleyn. Her color, obvs, is green.
