Fil-Am Yna Tresvalles in 'Six' cast of Philippine run

MANILA, Philippines — The full cast of the upcoming Philippine run of award-winning production "SIX the Musical" has finally been confirmed.

The production is a modern-pop inspired musical reimagining of the story of Britain's King Henry VIII's six wives — Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr — now given the platform to reclaim their own narratives.

Conceived by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the show portrays the wives as fierce and influential pop stars in their own right, taking inspiration from contemporary pop artists like Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne, Adele, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Britney Spears, and more.

The titular queens are as follows: 

Joining the six actresses as alternates are Izzy Formby-Jackson, Lorren Santo-Quinn, Erin Summerhayes, and Milly Willows.

Tresvalles recently graduated from Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where she played Charity Hope Valentine in "Sweet Charity."

She also performed at different editions of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including Princess Fiona in "Shrek The Musical" and Arachne in "God Catcher." "Six" will be Tresvalles' professional debut.

Kerr, Lord, Santo-Quinn, and Formby-Jackson have been involved in past "Six" productions, while the rest like Tresvalles are joining the Queendom for the first time.

"We know fans have been eagerly waiting for this moment, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome the new 'SIX' queens to Manila," said Carlos Candal, chief of GMG Productions which is bringing the show to the country. "Filipinos will be thrilled to see them take the stage with unmatched energy, talent, and passion to tell this extraordinary story."

GMG Productions is the same company behind the recent Philippine productions of "Hamilton" and "Miss Saigon."
