As previously reported in this blog, Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department alum Mallory Maedke ’14 is headed to Broadway next year with Six, the British rock musical about the six wives of medieval England’s King Henry VIII, along with her fellow Columbia College alum Courtney Mack ’15. Both are graduates of the Theatre Department’s BFA Program in Musical Theatre Performance. Maedke and Mack are “alternate queens” in the Broadway-bound production, stepping into lead roles as needed. Maedke will play Jane Seymour in the show’s Minnesota run from November 29 through December 22.

As previously reported here, Mack stepped into the role of Henry’s fifth wife, Catherine Howard, during Six’s North American premiere at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre last summer. Maedke and Mack have been with the show since its original Chicago run.
