‘SIX the Musical' hits the stage Wednesday night
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — SIX the Musical is on its North American Tour, and the cast is stopping in Sioux Falls this week. Gaby Albo is playing Anne Boleyn in the retold story of Henry VIII and his wives.
'I think it's a masterpiece of how it was so smartly written to merge this very real, old story. And bring it to a very modern, contemporary, concert-like, female empowering show and celebrating our own uniqueness. I think it's all very fresh and very smartly put together,' said Gaby Albo, who plays Anne Boleyn in SIX.

As for her character, Albo says everyone has a different twist on how she's played.
'I think I have a very, like, unique, unique take on Anne Boleyn. They always let us choose our queenspirations, how we call them in rehearsals. And my queenspiration would be if Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande had a daughter. I think that would be my Boleyn. It doesn't have to be the same queenspiration as one of my understudies, for example,' said Albo.
Although the Washington Pavilion has hosted Broadway shows before, SIX is one of the newest shows to hit their stage.
'So, SIX is really a pretty brand new musical. And really, it's still in New York on Broadway. And so it was one we were really excited to get to this market, because it's so, pretty new out in the traveling world. And so, yeah, we're excited to have it here. And it's why it's here for kind of a longer run than some of the other typical Broadway shows you'll see,' said Kerri DeGraff, COO of the Washington Pavilion.
And if you're still not sold on buying tickets, take it from the director of sales, who just saw SIX on Broadway- and plans to see it twice this weekend.
'This musical is a reality TV style competition between the six queens to decide who had it the worst, like whose life was truly the hardest. And so we get to hear their stories from their perspective in song. So it's rock, it's pop, it's musical theater, and it's just a spectacle. It is incredible. One of my favorite musicals that I've ever seen,' said Tim Sax, director of sales at the Washington Pavilion, who saw the musical recently.
