While many may be familiar with The Lowry’s theatre space, the venue also boasts numerous gallery spaces that host a range of temporary exhibitions alongside a permanent exhibition of LS Lowry’s work. The latest temporary exhibition curated by The Lowry combines history, musical theatre, and the modern world to ask, ‘What type of Queen are you?’ Produced with the support of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the co-creators of the hit musical SIX, Queens: The Exhibition primarily celebrates the show.
Global phenomenon SIX has arguably some of the most iconic costumes of modern musical theatre. The rhinestone clad, Tudor influenced, outfits effortlessly combine the pop princess element with actual royalty for each of the Queens, and are without a doubt one of our favourite elements of the musical. The Lowry have today announced that between 20 July and 3 November 2024, a new exhibition entitled Queens will be run in the Galleries of the Salford venue.
