Producers of SIX the Musical have announced further casting for their UK tour.

Carly Mercedes Dyer (West Side Story, The View Upstairs) will star as Jane Seymour from November when the hit musical plays in Salford.

Plans have also been revealed to perform the show at Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre from 20-31 January 2021.

The touring cast also includes: Lauren Drew (Catherine of Aragon), Maddison Bulleyment (Anne Boleyn), Shekinah McFarlane (Anna of Cleves), Jodie Steele (Katherine Howard) and Athena Collins (Catherine Parr), with alternates Jennifer Caldwell, Cassandra Lee and Harriet Watson.

The producers said: "We are delighted to welcome Carly into the SIX family while at the same time thanking Lauren Byrne for her wonderful service to the show and we wish her well in the future. We are so pleased to be following our Christmas run at the Lowry with a fortnight at the Mayflower. And we also look forward to bringing SIX back to Southampton in August, hopefully without social distancing."
