"Different in every country' Airi Suzuki as Catherine Howard. Photograph: Umeda Arts When co-producers Kenny Wax and Andy Barnes saw the latter, along with co-creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, they felt it had an irrepressible energy that deserved to be experienced in London. We thought it'd be wonderful for the queendom to do something different, says Wax. Six likes to be different; we often do crazy things."
"Sugaya plays Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of King Henry VIII whose marriage ended in annulment (at least she escaped with her head intact) while Suzuki is Catherine Howard, the wife who replaced Anne of Cleves in Henry's affections but was beheaded less than two years after their marriage, aged only 18 or 19.

Japanese performers Marie Sugaya and Airi Suzuki first encountered Six in London and later joined an all-Japanese cast staging the show in Japan. The production ran in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya as a sold-out tour and was translated into Japanese for local audiences. Co-producers Kenny Wax and Andy Barnes, together with creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, supported bringing the Japanese-language cast to the Vaudeville Theatre for a week-long West End run. Sugaya plays Anne of Cleves and Suzuki plays Catherine Howard. The musical originated at the Edinburgh fringe in 2017 and became a global phenomenon.
