Nominated for five Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, the sell-out international smash hit Six is the phenomenon everyone is losing their head over.

From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII finally take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red...

It’s time they told their story. Think you know the rhyme, think again…. It’s now Divorced. Beheaded. LIVE!

Age guidance for the show is ten years and over. The show runs for an hour and 20 minutes with no interval. Tickets are available from the CFT.

Gandini Juggling make a return to Chichester with Spring, an adventurous, jubilant and kaleidoscopic exploration of colour.

The show is at Chichester Festival Theatre on January 10 at 8pm, lasting one hour, without an interval. Age guidance is eight and up.

Formed in 1992 by jugglers Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Gandini Juggling continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary circus, reinventing and reinvigorating juggling for the 21st century.
