What's on at Winter Gardens Blackpool this January

2nd-4th January           Six!

The crowning glory of Broadway, the West End and beyond, the international smash hit musical SIX makes its royal return to Blackpool following its three previous sold-out runs!

From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII 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.

Think you know the rhyme, think again…

Divorced. Beheaded. LIVE!
