<br/> How accurate is SIX The Musical?<p><span style="color:#000000">What's surprising about <em>SIX</em> is that while it does take many creative liberties (e.g. the six wives of Henry VIII never formed a girl band), you can still learn a lot of history from the show. For example, the song "All You Wanna Do" details how heart-breaking Katherine Howard's life was and how several men took advantage of her and abused her. Meanwhile, in the cleverly titled "Don't Lose Your Head," we learn that Anne and Henry wrote love letters back and forth and that Anne seduced him and convinced him to break England away from the Catholic Church. Anne was late sent to the guillotine in real life...</span></p>
