For centuries, the wives of England’s King Henry VIII have been remembered largely for the ways their marriages came to an end.

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.

Now comes a pair of young British theater-makers, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, with a revisionist take on those sorry stories: “Six,” a pop musical in which each woman gets, at least for a few minutes, to reframe her fame.

The show, long on wordplay (“Live in consort!”) and short on running time (80 minutes), is coming to Broadway next year. “Six” will begin performances Feb. 13 and open March 12 at the Brooks Atkinson Theater, produced by Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes , George Stiles and Kevin McCollum.

“This is obviously the craziest thing that’s ever happened to us,” Ms. Moss, who is 25, said in an interview. She had never even seen a Broadway show until she visited New York earlier this year; Mr. Marlow, who is 24, had seen a few productions, starting with Cirque du Soleil’s “Paramour,” and came up with the idea for “Six” while daydreaming during a poetry class at Cambridge University.
