At the Museum of Broadway in NYC, cocktails and cheerful costumes combined for an exuberant gallery opening of the Museum’s new immersive exhibit for Broadway’s SIX: The Musical.

The Museum of Broadway in New York City celebrated the opening of its gallery dedicated to beloved stage show SIX: The Musical. The Museum is an interactive and experiential gallery that takes visitors of all ages on an exciting journey from the birth of Broadway to present day. The gallery rotates between featured shows, introducing a sneak peek behind the curtain into the making of and execution of each performing arts showcase. Currently featured musical SIX tells the glitter-encrusted story of King Henry VIII’s famously numerous wives, who band together musically to deliver a fun retelling of their own personalities and stories as the monarch’s partner.

Historically, King Henry VIII is known for serially separating his lover’s heads from their necks in a rather abrupt end to each relationship. In SIX, rather, the six wives decadently dress in technicolor holographic mini dresses and artfully sculpted crowns fit for a stage performer rather than a queen. Each lady in turn excitedly shares her tale through song and dance numbers – many of the upbeat, rocker-esque musical acts from the show are quite well-known amongst avid theatre fans, and the show has a broad international fan base.

Bringing SIX: The Musical to NYC in gallery form delightfully follows the show’s running performances in the United States tour this year. At the gallery opening, guests were in a bubbly mood – customized SIX-themed cocktails were served along with wine options, and attendees were welcome to peruse the gallery’s debut evening after a step through the red carpet. The queens themselves were also present and a popular attraction for guests to take photographs with as they brought the museum presentation to life. The group of performers arrived at the gallery in their signature costumes, which was a special touch adding to the excitement of the evening.
