‘There’s a lot going on!’ History-making director of musical Six celebrates Tony award nominations

Lucy Moss, who at 26 became the youngest female director of a Broadway musical, is now writing a new show and a film with co-creator Toby Marlow

It was written by two university students, had its first run in a converted hotel conference centre at the Edinburgh fringe and then took the West End by storm. Now, the hit musical Six - in which Henry VIII's wives give a histo-remix" pop concert with songs such as Don't Lose Ur Head - has become the talk of Broadway.

On Monday, the show created by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss during their final term at Cambridge University received eight nominations for this year's Tony awards, including best original score, best direction of a musical and best musical.
