A Phenomenon Worth Losing Your Head Over
What makes SIX a global phenomenon? It’s not just the glittering costumes or the chart-topping soundtrack. SIX is a reclamation of history through a modern lens, giving a voice to women who were often defined by their relationships to a man. Each queen steps into the spotlight to tell her side of the story, resulting in a lively, unapologetic narrative that’s as inspiring as it is entertaining.
