The award-winning global smash hit SIX has teamed up with The Soho Hotel to unveil a regal new SIX the Musical Afternoon Tea experience, inspired by the six Queens and the musical that continues to reign over the West End.

Until the end of the year, Refuel at The Soho Hotel will serve a limited-edition Afternoon Tea menu daily, 12pm – 4:45pm. Created in collaboration with the hit West End show celebrating the six wives of Henry VIII, the hotel’s pastry chefs have devised a royal selection fit for a Queen.

The crowning glory of the Afternoon Tea is a line-up of six pastries, each inspired by one of the Queens: Aragon’s Crown of Honour; Boleyn’s Strawberry Biscuit; Seymour’s Heart of Stone Blueberry Choux; Black Forest Cake of Cleves; Howard’s All You Want is Rice Pudding; and Parr’s Tudor Rose and Lemon Curd Macaron.

Bookings for the SIX the Musical Afternoon Tea are available from £45 per person. To view the menu and book, click here.

Alessandro Paoloni, Head Pastry Chef at The Soho Hotel, said, “This Afternoon Tea is our homage to the fabulous Queens of SIX! Watching the Musical, gave me the chance to really understand their stories. I have tried to distil the essence of each Queen into a pastry and I hope that guests enjoy our tribute.”

A spokesperson for SIX said, “Following Afternoon Tea, it’s time for the main event! Still one of the West End’s most popular shows, SIX remixes five hundred years of heartbreak into an electrifying 80-minute pop concert, where the Queens take centre stage and reclaim their crowns.”

The Queens currently reigning over the West End are: Jaz Robinson (SIX – Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto) as ‘Catherine of Aragon’, Thao Therese Nguyen (SIX – West End) as ‘Anne Boleyn’, Hana Stewart (SIX – West End and Broadway) as ‘Jane Seymour’, Dionne Ward-Anderson (SIX – West End) as ‘Anna of Cleves’, Caitlyn De Kuyper (SIX – Norwegian Cruise Line) as ‘Katherine Howard’, and Amelia Kinu Muus (Kiss Me Kate – Barbican) as ‘Catherine Parr’. They are joined by Alternates Leonor Correia (professional debut) as ‘Jane Seymour/Katherine Howard’, Odelia Dizel-Cubuca (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – West End) as ‘Anne Boleyn/Catherine Parr’, and Honey Joseph (Hamilton – UK Tour) as ‘Catherine of Aragon/Anna of Cleves’, alongside Super Swings Laura Baxter (professional and West End debut), Meg Dixon-Brasil (SIX – West End) and Shakira Simpson (SIX – UK Tour).

From 4 to 9 November 2025, SIX will welcome cast members from its smash-hit Japan production to the West End for a special one-week run. Across eight performances, the show will be performed entirely in Japanese (with English subtitles provided) for the first time in the UK.

The band features Ladies in Waiting Beth Jerem as Musical Director/Keys, Alice Angliss on Drums, Emma Jemima on Guitar, Kelly Morris on Bass, and Sinéad Rodger as Assistant Musical Director.

SIX is written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, with direction by Lucy Moss and Jamie Armitage. Choreography is by Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, with set design by Emma Bailey, costume design by Gabriella Slade, lighting design by Tim Deiling, sound design by Paul Gatehouse, musical orchestration by Tom Curran, and musical supervision by Joe Beighton, and casting by Pearson Casting.

SIX is produced by Kenny Wax, Wendy & Andy Barnes and George Stiles.

Winner of over 35 international awards, including two 2022 Tony Awards, three WhatsOnStage awards, and nominated for five Oliviers, SIX can also be seen live on stage worldwide: as well as London’s West End, SIX continues to tour the UK (with new 2025 dates just announced), and throughout Europe. An Australian tour launched in August 2024, whilst international dates in Manila and in Singapore have recently been completed.

SIX is currently playing at Broadway’s Lena Horne Theatre, the tour continues to play cities throughout the US. Earlier this year, the show both achieved 1.5million followers globally – across YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok and Facebook in the UK, US, Australia, Korea and beyond – and hit another milestone achievement, with SIX the Musical (UK Studio Cast Recording) and the Grammy Award®-nominated SIX: LIVE ON OPENING NIGHT (the first Original Broadway Cast Recording ever recorded live on opening night) songs having been streamed in excess of one billion times.

Tickets to all international productions of SIX are available via sixthemusical.com
