ABOUT
Six wives. Six stories. Six dazzling looks fit for royalty—but not the kind you’d find in a history book.
Six reimagines the wives of Henry VIII as pop divas competing for the spotlight—and sympathy—in a high-energy concert that turns Tudor history into a glittering celebration of female empowerment. Tony® Award-winning costume designer Gabriella Slade fuses Tudor silhouettes with modern fabrics, colors, and textures to create what she calls “a fusion style with Tudor details using contemporary finishes.”
Each queen’s costume tells her story through color, texture, and attitude. Slade studied portraits of the real wives—Catherine, Anne, Jane, Anne, Katherine, and Catherine—to capture their essence, then added a bold, modern twist. The result: six looks that blend royal opulence with rock-star edge.
Catherine of Aragon, Henry’s first wife, stands out in gold. Her dress features holographic foils in yellow and orange with a black lattice overlay, echoing stained-glass windows. Gold studs and a spiked headdress symbolize her strength and her “divorced” status.
Anne Boleyn, the flirtatious second wife, wears green — a nod to the legend that Henry wrote “Greensleeves” for her. Her short skirt and red lipstick reflect her playful spirit, while her choker subtly references her tragic fate.
Jane Seymour, the third wife, is portrayed as modest and sincere. Her white bodice, reminiscent of a wedding gown, is accented with black Tudor-style stripes. Jane gave Henry the son he longed for but died soon after childbirth.
Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard bring their own flair—Anne in bold red and black, Katherine in youthful pinks and silvers.
Catherine Parr, Henry’s final wife and survivor, appears in a royal blue jumpsuit with dramatic sleeves shaped like Henry’s own. The look, says Slade, represents her “wisdom and sagacious personality.”
Together, these queens command the stage with attitude, humor, and heart.
“They visually explode onstage,” says Slade. “It’s a regal look for the latest royalty to rule the stage.”
