(Radio Iowa) – A high-energy musical that retells and re-imagines the story of the half-dozen wives of England’s King Henry the Eighth makes its Iowa debut tomorrow (Tuesday) night. The Broadway touring production of “Six” features actress and singer Amina Faye playing the role of Jane Seymour, the third of the king’s six wives. Faye says Seymour was the only wife Henry ever really loved as she gave him the son he needed to carry on his legacy.

While the story is set 500 years ago, it’s what Faye calls a “reclaiming” of the historical heartbreak in a modern story of contemporary song and dance — and 21st century girl power. The hit musical features an all-woman cast and all-woman band, which Faye calls “refreshing.” “Six” runs at the Des Moines Civic Center through February 19th.
