Toby Marlow

Toby Marlow is one of those rare creators who makes you rethink what a musical can be. Taking the six wives of Henry VIII and reimagining them as a glittering pop concert, built with Lucy Moss, was a stroke of genius that turned Six into a global phenomenon. The 2022 Tony Award for Best Original Score only confirmed what audiences already felt. What impresses me most is their range: composer, lyricist, playwright, and performer all at once. A Cambridge education clearly sharpened their wit, but the real gift is translating history into something irresistibly modern. I find their work electric and genuinely inspiring.
