Didi Romero, who currently plays Katherine Howard, will play her final performance on February 9. Other current Broadway Queens Adrianna Hicks, Storm Lever, Aubrey Matalon, Olivia Donalson and Gabriela Carrillo will play their final performance on February 17.
Alternates Aryn Bohannon, Jessie Davidson, Sierra Fermin, Jana Larell Glover and Jenny Mollet will remain with the Broadway company.
In SIX, the six wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a celebration of 21st-century girl power. The musical is written by Tony Award winners Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss and is co-directed by Moss and Jamie Armitage.
The Boleyn tour of SIX is currently playing cities throughout the U.S. The musical is also currently playing at the Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End, on tour in the U.K., on tour throughout Europe and Australia, and Japan. A production will open in Shanghai in May.
