Concord Theatricals has announced that a schools version of the award-winning West End musical Six is now available for amateur groups across the UK and Ireland. 

Six: Teen Edition is a modified version of the pop musical which is suitable for family audiences and teen performers. 

Six creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss said: ‘This feels like a real full-circle moment. We wrote Six for our female and non-binary friends to perform when we were all students, so to now have this teen edition for schools enabling young people to take the mic, use their voice and claim their own space is truly humbling.’

The production shares the testimonies of Henry VIII’s six wives through pop songs and ballads. The score features orchestrations by Tom Curran and vocal arrangements by Joe Beighton. 

The musical is currently running at the West End’s Vaudeville Theatre, and is also on tour across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, North America and on Broadway. www.sixthemusical.com
