Students mesmerise with SIX: TEEN EDITION

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.

This famous rhyme echoed through the halls of Bridgewater School as students took on the challenge of staging SIX: TEEN EDITION, a pop-infused retelling of the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives. Driven by the enthusiasm of the Year 10 students who requested the production, the school’s Music Department initially questioned whether they could fit such an ambitious project into a year already packed with GCSE revision. Yet, with determination and dedication, SIX: TEEN EDITION came to life on the Bridgewater stage.

Originally envisaged as a concert performance, the production soon evolved into a fully staged show, as the students’ energy and passion were undeniable. Following auditions, the enthusiasm was so high that our Director of Music, Mrs Embrey, made the decision to cast a second set of lead performers, allowing some of our younger students to take centre stage as well.

The show follows the six wives of Henry VIII – Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr – as they reclaim their stories in a powerful remix of historical events. Through mesmerising performances, they brought Tudor history to life with attitude and flair, showcasing not only their vocal talents but also the strength of their acting and dance skills.

In addition to learning songs and choreography, students dedicated months to researching and developing their characters, gaining a deeper appreciation for the real figures behind the iconic rhyme. SIX: TEEN EDITION challenged them to perform as a cohesive ensemble while each student discovered and embraced their “inner queen”.

Congratulations to all the students and staff who contributed to this memorable production.
