So this was highly requested so I thought I would go ahead and make this video! What did you think of the Chicago cast? 💗

[@adisynnefransen1066]

Bryony Rose I love them! I’m hoping to see them either in Chicago or New York City when covid is over and broadway has opened back up

[@labaguette2083]

The chicago cast is my fav! Also can you react to Sam Pauly (Chicago Howard) All you wanna do? It's so good!

[@itsartsyaristudios4819hadballs]

[@rainybopz]

I think they deserve more love!

[@samuelking9343]

Review the Australian 2.0 cast. Suggested vid: Sydney closing night.

[@rileyw152]

talking about the accents, mallory maedke (swing for boylen, seymour, and howard), she did an instagram story for questions and someone asked why they dont do accents and basically toby and lucy said they really just want this cast to be the /chicago/ cast. and mallory also said they just genuinely suck at accents

[@lumdug22]

I feel like people don't realize that these are two different productions with two different casts. It's very sad because this cast is magnificent and people don't realize how hard it is to fake a British accent. Especially constantly. While singing. For over an hour.

[@wickeddisney55]

while also doing a pure cardio workout (every cast agrees that the dancing is pure cardio all the way through) so yeah having them try to do a different accent would have been the worst idea ever

[@straykanade]

hi! chicagoan who's seen both productions twice here: 1. the reason boleyn cuts in is bc of accenting. abby(seymour) has a much different, unblendable accent faced against andrea(boleyn)'s accent 2. yes, britt(cleaves) sings "i'm the queen of the castle" up the octave! 3. the shakes(chicago shakespeare, where six is playing) has a gap between stage and audience. fire hazards and US regulations, so it's about two art rows. they can reach, but it's a gap alright 4. have you heard people from jersey trying to do a british accents? sorry but there's no way in god-forsaken hell that abby(seymour) could possibly do a british accent. plus, it adds a spin. i love both casts. any other comparison q's you can ask me, i'll try my best to answer.

[@devotedcetacean6568]

Low key offended i am from jersey and i do a pretty good british accent. 😂😭😂

[@straykanade]

@@devotedcetacean6568 eek that's fair, as someone who lived in jersey until two years ago but still has the accent i cannot but

[@JenniferMejia-ir3fp]

same

[@Rebecca-ez1ki]

Are the musicians really named the same?

[@straykanade]

@@Rebecca-ez1ki the names they use are the names of actual ladies in waiting to the king :)

[@krazykittymatt]

One thing I do appreciate about the Chicago cast is that they say the full word "Six" at the end. Lol The Westend I always hear "Sick" "Sii".

[@BroadwayBroads]

I wanted them to have British accents too until I saw it and thought Toby and Lucy made the right choice NOT to!

[@jesm5698]

To clarify, there’s a part in between the stage and the audience. You could fit another row there but it would be very cramped! I hope this helps

[@BryonyRoseyt]

Sugary Aldc ahhh that makes sense then!!

[@matildageek8269]

Britt (Cleves) is my spirit animal in these megamixes!!! Her and Andrea (Boleyn) are brilliant and also tinyyyyy

[@straykanade]

DUDE britt is actually the craziest on stage

[@adisynnefransen1066]

Britt, Andrea, and Sam are my favorite

[@rainybopz]

Ikr! When britt was in a knee brace she was at her fullest

[@anc301]

There is actually a megasix in which Adriana (Aragon) gives the mic to a guy in the audience for them to sing, it was amazing.

[@addysketches_]

Concerning the bass... I play guitar so Im not sure if its a different term for bass... but what the bass was doing was adding fills. She played the same notes as the west end but added a few more notes. It sounds a bit weird but its nice and different :)

[@BryonyRoseyt]

Adam Fait thanks for explaining! That explains why it sounded a bit different 😊

[@nosyrballeb]

yeah she was doing slap bass! it’s basically what most players do in funk and disco- it’s basically fills with a slap tone to it

[@themelodystar4286]

Yes, we love Samantha Pauly! (Howard) but I'm sad she's gone now. She is going to be in the upcoming London production of Evita though.

[@emjay1354]

She came back for all the other stops and Broadway though.

[@not_gabi6508]

Well she’s gonna come back for Broadway (when Broadway reopens lmao)

[@barbicel]

2:15 Girl the way your face changed 😂

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

I've been to the Chicago show, there's a fair gap between the stage and front row, but when Anna of Cleves gets someone in the front row to dance during Get Down they've got a lot of room.

[@theatreprincess41101]

They do grab a phone/camera in the front after Megasix after their bows! But yes theirs about 2 feet from the stage to front row.

[@leahattwood9081]

I wish the Chicago cast had their own costumes tho :/ That's what I really loved about six is that all the actresses have their own unique costumes and I wished they continued that into the Chicago performances

[@uhohthepoorguysheadisspinn7978]

I know this is a year late but I’m here anyway lol IMO, I think it’s only fair they get the same costumes as west end or other casts. Since the touring, bliss, Australian, and more have gotten the same costumes I think it would only be fair haha Also, the alternates for this cast do have their own costumes as normal so yeah!

[@alicebones12]

This reply is so late, just now watching this video, but I saw the Chicago version earlier this month, in August, and it was really beautiful. I was right up near the stage and it was so astounding. All of the queens are so stellar with eye contact and little waves and smiles, over all very personable. During Get Down, Cleves actually encouraged a little boy to get up and dance with her in between the seats and the stage, it was very funny! The lack of an accent didn't bother me, I feel like, if they had tried to replicate a British accent, it would have taken away from their natural talents. All of them have such beautiful voices, and quirky personalities with their normal voices. If you do ever get the chance to see the American cast, it is so worth it, they are amazing!

[@user-bc5sm1rv5z]

Imma miss Millie when she leaves 😭😭😭😭

@@savagerose3077 yeah We need sassy Millie doing don't lose ur head

[@cara-ks7bu]

I know I’m gonna cry my eyes out 😭😭😭

[@QuikVidGuy]

The syncopated slap-bass solo that Stacy does is meant to be more ~bluesy~ since Chicago is known as one of the historical hubs for classic blues music. Some of the fill notes that another commenter mentioned are "blue notes" - off-key accents meant to add color to the melody

[@tessaokeefe9866]

I love how Andrea (Boleyn) and Britt(Cleves) are both 4”11 and Abby is like 5’7 so Andrea and Britt look even shorter then they are!

[@samstein3244]

Just to address the accenting thing it's because Matilda specifically takes place in Britain and this is a pop concert with no set location. If the accents were accurate cleaves would be german and multiple of them would be spanish.

[@that_orange_hat]

the only things i don’t like that i’ve seen from Chicago Six (i haven’t seen it live) are Jane Seymour’s voice (at least in the time they sang Six on the news) that they don’t overlap between Seymour+Boleyn during Megasix, and the weird bass solo

[@unclewiley1986]

A Person Seymour and Boleyn’s accents clash so they didn’t overlap during that part.

[@meg4322]

True, she didn't sound that good then, but I've heard her Heart of Stone live and it's *i n c r e d i b l e*

[@MandiSings94]

I agree with that particular performance mentioned, but Abby (Seymour) has a lovely voice

[@jordanz2288]

I saw this cast in Chicago and it’s fantastic.

[@taylorcpomeroy]

This is why we love Sam Paulo and her little shindig of the Harlem shake. Parr sometimes does the thing. I personally loved the Chicago cast I saw them 2x with both the Howard’s. they’re all so sweet and could talk for hours especially cleaves (Brittany Mack). Mallory meadke (an alternate) said someone asked if they should do British accents and they said no.

[@adrianreyes9652]

I find it weird that Seymour and Boleyn don’t overlap, something must of happened over the course of the show’s previews because in their first megasix they overlap, so they must of changed it. Here’s a link to their first preview if anyone wants to see it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYbNpHlmg8iYnpY

[@juno_likes_stars3085]

I think it has something to do with Abby's accent not fitting well with Andrea's. Abby has a slight Midwestern accent and Andrea has a slight Canadian accent and they sound a bit weird singing over each other.

[@emjay1354]

Musical Theater Nerd their voices also don't blend too well

[@gemmajackson1575]

4:39 britt is actually a soprano! :)

[@gwendolynrice4271]

Sam Pauly is my icon! Her AYWD is amazing!!

[@rileyb831]

In the broadway cast, instead of “ get your phones out your gonna wanna film this “ it’s “ everyone clap your hands “ because in NY you cant legally record broadway shows. But their are a few videos of broadway mega six just not front row, maybe you could react to the broadway cast mega six?

[@idontexist3196]

They're the same people though

[@undercoverk3vin]

teehee this is my megasix vid

[@undercoverk3vin]

Also you said my name right the first time! Queen!

[@matildageek8269]

Legit same reaction to the bass solo every single time! I just don’t think it matches at all! The stage has a big gap between stage and first row (first Chicago is equal to third arts row) so they can’t really do that for Parr at the end.

[@mikeym.2789]

If you have a chance, I 100% recommend checking out the mega-six from Edmonton! It’s the same cast from their pre-broadway (mini) tour OR their broadway launch party! I think you’ll see a lot of what you missed from west end has settled back in. These ladies are gunna kill in it NY.

[@bearbernstein3333]

I've seen a few musicals on broadway and the reason there is a gap is because of the pit and how most musicals have a band in the pit.

[@BroadwayBroads]

We went and Parr does go right up to my camera. You are spot on with all your comments except this one part. Feel free to check out our front row (sams last performance) you’re adorable!!!!

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

i’m seeing it tomorrow in chicago!!!! i’ll send vids!!!

[@elizama624]

This video was amazing. I also saw that you are so close to 1,000 and I wanted to help out ;)❤️ I really like this video, keep up the good work :) Edit: congrats on 1k 😁😁😁

[@BryonyRoseyt]

Thank youuuuu!

[@parist5778]

I like how she sort of insults them but then is like I hAve noThinG wRonG wiTh iT- no hate thought don’t @ me. See what I did there.

[@banesbrittana8198]

Coming back to this video to suggest Bryony reacts to some Cruise cast Megasixes

[@mimicoffey1393]

OMG You did my request yessssssssssss!!!

[@LOL-lp7ix]

I love both just the Chicago cast more lol

[@gemmajackson1575]

imo i think it's pretty cool how lucy and toby have the six casts just do their normal accent because a big part of the show is letting the actresses put their own spin on their queen :)

[@carlosmansolrac0774]

I know this video is a few months old but you should do a reaction to a Bliss megasix! It’s a cool thing to compare with both Chicago and West End

[@johathan4543]

You really need to react to the mall of america performance ( get down is my fav)

[@elliethompson3635]

Do a bid on what u think about people living six

[@historyfreak6591]

I've only ever seen the Chicago/Broadway cast because they were the cast that came through my city last year but I would love to go to London and see the British production of the show

[@historyfreak6591]

HI Bryony! I see that this video was posted a year ago. The Chicago cast did go to all sorts of places, even into Canada! I was so excited to see them when they came to Edmonton, Canada! I would definitely go again

[@jesm5698]

YESSSS

[@ethancurrie3067]

Do the haus of holbien Chicago cast

[@tarrinchambers6259]

Im seeing it in chicago on July 13th. If you want someone to document the process i would be down.

[@BryonyRoseyt]

That would be amazing! 💗

[@moon-ig8tq]

I'm seeing it July 14th lol

[@finno9306]

omg, you should make a video straight up reacting to a bootleg hahah!

[@ok-ht5md]

CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG !! but I think the Chicago cast isn't allowed to do the accents even though they really wanted to

[@sashabrown7793]

Can I please ask where you got your hoodie? I want one like it but I’m pretty sure they don’t sell it as official merchandise

[@BryonyRoseyt]

Sasha Brown I’ve put the link to where you can buy the hoodie in the caption of this video 💗

[@sashabrown7793]

Bryony Rose oh thank you ✨ I’ve bought quite a lot from redbubble never noticed the six hoodie. Thanks ❤️😁

[@amyw7976]

2:15 I can’t 😂😭😭😭

[@banesbrittana8198]

I kind of want you to react to all the compilations of Megasix on Ye Olde Space Buns Channel after this video (for example, here’s a compilation of Sam Pauly *the old Chicago Howard* being iconic in Megasix kzbin.info/www/bejne/eofbi6RjgJebis0 )

[@MisterMagikarp]

You should have said, "these are my opinions so... too bad i don't agree cause I'm the queen of the castle, get down you dirty rascals." LOL.

[@jakesassoon4270]

U shoudl do a tour reaction megasix

[@santosh2080]

Chicago Cleves matches the energy of Shaka lmaooo

[@timbennett4016]

As an american I know that british accents are hard to do

[@babeebobo8343]

Sometimes Seymour and Boleyn will overlap there's a MegaSix where they do

[@king_twink7196]

America has many of their own accents so to fake a new one for quite some time is a bit difficult also luv u sis

[@ibliz494]

Andrea and Millie are the best Boleyns to me.

[@tananario]

And all that would happen is a bunch of people bitching about Americans doing British accents. Take a seat, sis. The “real” accents of these women would be impossible for you to understand.

[@melanahomer3841]

Sam is actually my Best friend.

[@laurenjcoates]

I actually really think the Chicago cast are stronger vocalists

[@phoebeparker8080]

First

[@tsoloco9547]

pleaaassseee react to the megasix byNatyD14, its 100 times better

[@JJ-nt6px]

U watched the wrong mega six! This was a bad one the other ones are the ones with all ur expectations
