๐Ÿ‘‘ โ€œIs SIX appropriate for kids?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘€

Weโ€™ve been getting this question a lot from people who know the Broadway version, and the answer is:

โœจ Absolutely! โœจ

This production is SIX: Teen Edition, a specially licensed version created for young performers and family audiences. It keeps all the humor, heart, history, and high-energy concert vibes that audiences love while adapting the content for teen performers and family-friendly viewing.

So if youโ€™ve been curious but hesitant, consider this your invitation. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring the history buffs, and bring your fellow theatre lovers. This is a show for everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŽค

STOP SCROLLING ๐Ÿ›‘

Do you love Tudor history?
Royal drama?
Watching documentaries about Anne Boleyn while whispering โ€œmanโ€ฆ Henry VIII kinda suckedโ€ the entire time?
Then this show is VERY much for you.

Weโ€™ve had a ton of people ask us:
โ€œWhat even IS Six?โ€
SIX: Teen Edition takes the six wives of Henry VIII and turns them into a full-blown pop concert where each queen finally gets to tell HER side of the story instead of just being remembered as โ€œthe wives.โ€

Yes itโ€™s funny, dramatic, energetic, and packed with incredible musicโ€ฆ
โ€ฆbut itโ€™s ALSO rooted in real Tudor history, real women, real heartbreak, real political manipulation, and one king making everyoneโ€™s life exponentially worse.

โ€œDivorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.โ€
You know the rhyme.
Now come meet the women behind it.
Featuring TWO powerhouse teen casts:
