Six: Teen Edition to be staged at Portadown Town Hall in energetic remix of Tudor history
Craigavon-based Moyraverty Arts and Drama Society (MADS) is to stage the popular musical Six: Teen Edition in Portadown Town Hall.
The teen edition of ‘Six’ is an adaptation of Tony Marlow and Lucy Moss’ international phenomenon modified for performance by young actors.
MADS is delighted to stage the show from Friday, January 30 to Sunday, February 1.
It follows the fortunes of Henry VIII’s six wives who form a pop girl group competing to see who had the worst time with him by telling their stories in modern songs, but ultimately reclaim their narratives as empowered 21st century women, celebrating 'girl power' through a fun and energetic remix of Tudor history.
The audience can expect catchy tunes and themes of heartbreak, resilience and solidarity in a truly vibrant show.
Producer Kieran Corr said the production features “some of the most outstanding” local youth talent.
"Following almost 50 girls auditioning to be in the show we narrowed it down to 12 teenage girls,” he said.
"Portadown twins Kyla and Nicole Fox will perform as Catherine of Aragon and Katherine Parr, Poppy Magill also from Portadown will perform as Catherine Howard and Clare Keeley who performed in the lead role in RTE's Toy show and was a finalist in Ireland's Junior Eurovision final 2022 and 2023 will perform as Jane Seymour on the Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon show.”
The show opens on Friday, January 30 at 7.30pm, followed by Saturday, February 31 at 3pm and 7.30pm and closes on Sunday, February 1 at 3pm.
Tickets (£10) are available through MADS Craigavon Facebook page or by scanning the QR code from posters at Portadown Town Hall.
