"Six, the energetic and infectious musical that cleverly reimagines the stories of King Henry VIII's six wives through a pop concert format, has proven to be a big hit..Due to its popularity with young performers, and even though the show is still running on Broadway, in London, on tour, and in several other cities around the world, it seems fitting that Marlow and Moss have quickly come up with a slightly edited version that's available to be produced exclusively by youth theatre companies and schools. Featuring all of the songs from the original West End and Broadway productions, with only a few small edits or changes to the lyrics to make them more PG-13 friendly, it's a great showcase for talented teenagers to sing their faces off while still focusing on the independent views of the characters and the need for women to support each other instead of tearing each other down. Limelight Performing Arts is presenting what I believe is the first production of Six: Teen Edition in the Phoenix area, and it's excellent."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
