A production of SIX: Teen Edition is coming to Helena, staging the global pop-musical sensation that reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as contemporary pop icons competing for the microphone. The show — adapted from the original West End and Broadway hit — keeps all of the songs from the full version while tailoring the production for a younger ensemble cast.
SIX has become one of the more recognizable titles in contemporary musical theater, built around the conceit that Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, and the other five queens get to tell their own stories in their own voices, set to an original pop and R&B score. The Teen Edition brings that material to student and youth performers, a format that has made it a popular choice for school and community theater programs across the country.
Performance details, including venue and dates, are available through the presenting organization. For Helena audiences who haven't caught the show during its national touring run, this production offers a local look at one of the more talked-about musicals of the past several years.
