Sixboston @Americanrep #SIXboston @AmericanRep 2019/20 Season A.R.T. Artistic Director’s Welcome Welcome to SIX! No longer on the outskirts of history, these Queens are taking over the world. Creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss began writing SIX while undergraduates at Cambridge University in the UK. These young writers had the idea to give new voice to the women who—among their own numerous accomplishments— were married to England’s King Henry VIII. Using the format of a modern singing competition, Marlow and Moss asked what these women’s voices might sound like today, and what they might tell us in their own words. SIX explores these questions in a fusion of past and present. In today’s female pop icons, the creators found harmony with their historical subjects, and the result is a celebration of sisterhood that resonates through the centuries. SIX debuted at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and after a lauded run on London’s West End, the global fan base for the show’s soundtrack has continued to grow, with millions of listeners online. Now SIX makes its debut in Cambridge, Massachusetts, following a run at Chicago Shakespeare Theater earlier this summer. This production launches the A.R.T.’s 2019/20 Season, which features a roster of shows that place history in conversation with the present. We begin with this contemporary take on Tudor England, and by the season’s end, we will reexamine the founding of our country and the Declaration of Independence, through a new staging of the musical 1776.

  • Southern Comfort
    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.
