Eight (Sing-Along Edition!) by Hannah Clift

8pm Tuesday

EIGHT is turning two years old! Yes, we have been touring this show since 2024 and to mark the special occasion we are holding a SING-ALONG! Come see the show you know and love but this time you can get extra involved.

After the show and a short interval, there will also be a charity raffle in support of Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), the suicide prevention charity. Come follow the show on Instagram to see what prizes are up for grabs @_eight_h_

Henry VIII has returned to the land of the living to discover he is exclusively remembered as that bloke with six wives. He’s even heard there’s a musical being performed in London, on ships and in York (the new one) in which six women spend an hour and a half, eight times a week, slagging him off!

So there was only one thing for it. Henry is clearing his name in a musical drag extravaganza. If you’re lucky, he may even give you some advice on love and romance.

Get ready for singing, dancing and maybe even some podcasting. Featuring parodies of songs by Meatloaf, Celine Dion and Ed Sheeran, this bonkers show explores the lesser known side of the famous Tudor king and asks us, “Is Henry truly the villain he is painted out to be?”

(Probably, yes, but at least we will have fun while we find it out!)
