About SIX: TEEN EDITION
SIX: TEEN EDITION is a full-length adaptation of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’ international phenomenon SIX, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences.
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the mic to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st-century girl power! This new original musical is the global sensation that everyone is losing their head over.
The New York Times says SIX is “pure entertainment!” and the Evening Standard hails SIX as “the most uplifting new British musical I have ever had the privilege to watch.”
At its heart, SIX is about celebrating the talent and individuality of the women and non-binary people onstage. The Queens should therefore be played by cis women, trans women, trans people and people who exist beyond the gender binary in any capacity, who feel on a personal level that this is their story to tell. Cast can be expanded to include backup singers and dancers of all gender identities.
SIX: TEEN EDITION includes all songs from the original version, with reimagined lines and lyrics to minimize suggestive language and alternate line changes to reframe UK references for a US audience. SIX: TEEN EDITION includes an optional SATB chorus, opening the door for expandable casting for backup singers and dancers of all gender identities. The historical context of SIX: TEEN EDITION also provides the opportunity for an educational component, aligning your production with your school’s curricula in history and literature.

Palos Verdes Peninsula High School Drama Department & The International Thespian Society
Peninsula Drama is committed to providing a comprehensive and varied program while raising the Drama Department's profile on the PVPHS campus and in our community. Any student can find their home here, whether they are involved in just our classes, getting on stage in productions, performing with our improv team or finding their voice working backstage on tech crew.
Between productions, the Drama Club and Thespian Honors Society, our students have the opportunity to continue to grow and succeed. Coupled with Mr Cohen's experience performing with Comedy Sportz Los Angeles, and his experience working as a theater technician, designer and his background in film production students are afforded opportunities to get a wide-range of experience and get involved with Peninsula Drama in a variety of ways. All of this helps our students develop not only as performers and technicians, but also developing peripheral skills that open up many opportunities for college, scholarships and the professional world.
Join Peninsula Drama next year by registering for classes, joining our Comedy Sportz HSL team, working on one of our productions or join us as we travel to Edinburgh Scotland to perform at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The International Thespian Society is the honors organization for high school theatre students, under the umbrella of the Educational Theatre Association.
