Casting news
ON TUESDAY, January 21, 2020, Sophie Isaacs will join the cast of the hit musical SIX. She will play Katherine Howard, replacing Vicki Manser who is leaving to become the alternate Carole King in the UK tour of Beautiful – The Carole King Musical.
Isaacs starred as Heather McNamara in the West End musical Heathers, played Annette in the sold-out critically acclaimed European premiere of Cruel Intentions: The Musical at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, and is currently starring as Goldilocks in Goldilocks and the Three Bears at the London Palladium.
Her other major musical theatre roles include Janet in The Rocky Horror Show, Frenchy in Grease, Sandra Beaumont in Made In Dagenham, Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray and Margot in Legally Blonde.
SIX currently stars Jarneia Richard-Noel (as Catherine of Aragon), Courtney Bowman (Anne Boleyn), Natalie Paris (Jane Seymour), Alexia McIntosh (Anna of Cleves), Vicki Manser (Katherine Howard) and Danielle Steers (Catherine Parr), with Zara MacIntosh (Alternate Catherine of Aragon and Katherine Howard), Cherelle Jay (Alternate Anne Boleyn and Anna of Cleves), Hana Stewart (Alternate Jane Seymour and Catherine Parr) and Collette Guitart (Dance Captain/Understudy).
From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII take to the mic in SIX to tell their tales, remixing 500 years of historical heartbreak into a 75-minute celebration of 21st century girl power.
SIX is currently booking at the Arts Theatre until July 5, 2020.
