Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey through herstory - It has been a PLEASURE! See you next week for Hadestown! (Already up on Patreon)

PORFAVOR REACIONA ALA INTRO A SIX(Just so you know there is an intro before the six song, before the final song) Basically where the happy 6 realize even if in the end they didn't have a happy ending...they have each other in this show and there are still 5 minutes left so they make a happy ending Please

[@feistsorcerer2251]

It sounds like people have been giving you a hard time. Please try not to take it to heart. Personally I love that you do similar content to Mortius a lot because you both have such different takes on it and it means I get to enjoy two whole reactions to it! It's also just, cool to see a direct reflection of you two's friendship by you sharing content with each other. If people don't want to watch a second reaction to six they're free not to, but I know there are a lot of people like me who will look for every single reaction they can to media they enjoy. And it's rare to have two such high quality reactions to the stuff I'm into so for me at least I love your stuff reflecting each other. Also one of the things i love about your duo content is the way each of you analyse things, so when you both react to the same thing it means in able to enjoy that aspect even outside of open arms reactions! Thanks as always for what you do and the joy you bring.

[@Scatterbrained_Watching]

I don’t understand why people complain about you “coping Mortius”. As if you’re the only two people who have ever reacted to these musicals 😭😭 It’s just very silly

[@SimsAllAround]

I assume solely for the fact they use the exact same playlist and nothing more

[@SpiderRiderKya]

People are always like this. KZbinr 1 does a thing, a generic thing (plays a game, reacts to a thing etc). KZbinr 2 plays the same game/reacts to the same thing etc. and everyone gets up in arms about them copying, as if KZbinr 1 has a monopoly on the game/video/whatever. It's even sillier her cause he's mentioned, several times, Mortius helping him with this lol, so it's not like he doesn't know or that they aren't friends or something.

[@DRVGQN]

Like they're literally friends WHY CAN'T THEY SHARE AN INTEREST AND REACT TO THE SAME THINGS??? I WANT BOTH THEIR TAKES ON SIX. I WANT MORE SIX CONTENT.

[@eboduodu2824]

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

[@kory_misun]

I just think 'Ooh, great minds think alike! I'll be glad to know their different takes!' And hey, we get to listen to the musical more, so why be grumpy at all?

[@Pupcat_Is_Amare]

If I recall correctly: Gigi said she unlisted her SIX animatics because they’re older. I may be misremembering this part, but I vaguely remember her mentioning her mentioning that it’s not to her standards anymore. Though because people like them, they’re unlisted and in a playlist instead of private. She talked about it on her Tumblr a while ago but I can’t find the post, but these animatics were some of her first ever, so it makes sense imo

[@kory_misun]

Even her earlier work is full of absolute gold. I'm so grateful we can still see Gigi's SIX masterpieces.

[@gigi2820]

Yup, you got it all correct :))

[@AUCreatoer]

I'm happy it's just unlisted lol, gigi's six the musical is my first video that I watched from them :D

[@hutothetao]

Not to her standards but they are still so good 🙏

[@Silensy]

My absolute favorite character detail in this is K Howard's line being "I learned everything". All through the musical we get glimpses of her having little bits of knowledge but only speaking of herself as the hot one. It hints to the Idea that she was actually very smart and could have really gone places if she hadn't been tampered with and derailed all through her life. It probably isn't historically accurate but I really like the idea that without all the men interfering K-Howard would have been able to embrace her intelligence and passions.

[@elizabethgatchell4546]

I read it as she had a real passion for music so she taught herself every instrument. She loved music so much but it was tainted for her through her experience. But I also really like your read and both can be true.

[@wolfitrix]

As Catherine Parr once said: "I DON'T NEED YOUR LOVE...all i need is SIX..." I live by this line

[@Alphabetical_mayB]

I'm yet to see a reaction even mention the history/his-story lyric and its my favorite lyric in the whole show, but the title gives me hope. Excited for tommorow!

[@twist_ending7545]

I assume you mean her-story?

[@danieldavid3766]

Gigi has said in a community post that she unlisted the Six animatics because she doesn’t really like them that much anymore, but she kept them in a playlist because of how much everyone else loved them.

[@Noitibus]

She should remake them if that's the case, and we'd have a lot of new amazing qnimatics to watch :3

[@ar23431]

I really loved the song six because it's basically ex-wifes in reverse basically ex-wifes gives importance to what henry historically connected with all of them Six For me it makes me feel that it is their way of saying 2 things, they are important for who they are,not for henry, and secondly that after so much pain... in the end They have each other and that's enogth for them. At least that's how I felt when I heard the song for the first time.

[@nzingawilson1666]

One thing that i dont know if most people notice is that after having a family herny isn't with any of the other. After we see how big their family is saw. The next girl said she was rejected. The second Catherine never meet him because she rejected her childhood trauma so they never met. And Finally they all came together because our final one hear about them. Their connection between them was their love for music not their ex. He was only with one of them. Everyone else wither was reject or never met.

[@SimsAllAround]

Yep, Jane was okay with having that family with him

[@ZuriElysium27]

For other musicals, Starkid is fun, specifically The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals! Starkid posts the full proshot to youtube so you can even react to the actual performance instead of animatics. Someone else recommended the Mechanisms and I'm going to boost that, the mechs are the best and deserve more attention ETA: A good taste fo their style would be the sinlges Alice or Frankenstein. They are like 10 minute songs that are scifi retellings of Alice in Wonderland and Frankenstein respectively. They give a good taste of what a Mechs album is like in one song.

[@cinder_x3]

VOUCHHH

[@braydonegan1240]

I love your reactions. Some musicals I highly recommend are: “Waitress” “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” “The Last 5 Years” “Fun Home” “Wicked” To name a few. I hope you enjoy them if/when you get to them!😀

What a joke saying you are copying Mortius, you two clearly talk a lot about your content, which ones you are watching together and give each other recommendations but your reactions are your own. For example, I was introduce to you via Mortius because HE WAS ACTIVELY PROMOTING YOU! And I am very thankful bc you are a sweetie pie and I have learned a lot about music, instrumental mostly bc I never notice it the way you do! So keep doing a great job, unfortunately people on the internet keep forgetting that if they dont like a video they can just keep scrolling and not be a b**** about it (hoping this is a safe ´please to curse xD)

[@danieldaza2141]

"this youtuber did what his friend already did a while ago, but like without them???? sacrilegious"

[@jesuisdeanna]

Please keep copying Mortius! I've been watching your reaction and then going to his chanel to watch his right after. I'm enjoying seeing the differences in what you each notice and comment on. ❤

[@potentialdestination959]

You should react to Beetlejuice the musical, and/or Ride the Cyclone!

[@awmperry]

Agreed. Beetlejuice is such a great show, and with such a broad range of styles to give him plenty to talk about.

[@Lavenrius]

I would kill for a Ride The Cyclone series it’s so good 😭🙏

[@Inc4Keiaa]

I think they were not harmonizing on that one lyric since in Ex-wives they were one category as they were all ex-wives of Henry VIII. But in six it started to become: We used to be ex-wives But now we're one of a kind no category! It shows that they were different and have their one paths. Just like when they weren't harmonizing they were showing that they are more than just ex-wives of Henry VIII. Thats what I think so please correct me in the replies!

[@ceciwynne4154]

Congratulations on finishing you first musical! Can’t wait to see Hadestown starting next week!

[@tanapulver]

I like that you and Mortius are doing similar content, but you’re giving different perspectives. You each focus on different things and that’s cool. Please continue ❤

[@saiyasha848]

SIX always leaves me bittersweet. It is such a wonderful fantasy and everytime I just wish these women were given a second chance.

[@fyroseredfury]

17:09 ayo Casper kinda freakay

[@lysanthya9975]

I love Six SO much!! It’s so tragic, how their stories actually ended and I cannot listen to this musical without crying (heart of stone my beloved) but I just love them kinda being able to write their own ending here

[@adelina201]

i just wanted to recommend the band The Mechanisms to you! I think their way of telling a story through an album, kind of like a musical, is incredible and definitely something up your alley. Their albums take a preexisting setting and put a spin on it, and if you do listen then I recommend two songs at a time since its usually in the pattern of music then narration. My favorite album of theirs is The Bifrost Incident, which is basically a norse myth murder mystery. Once Upon A Time In Space is fairy tales in space, as you could guess hahah. Ulysses DIes At Dawn is a steampunk retelling of some greek myths. And High Noon Over Camelot is a western mixed with arthurian legend. Their first albums are a bit more amateur sound wise, but still so beautiful and unique

[@ZuriElysium27]

YESSSS, Bifrost Incident is one of my all time favorite albums

[@arangege388]

OMG HELLO FELLOW MECHANISMS FANNN!!!!

[@KendraShadow]

omg The Mechanisms mentioned! YES!!

[@dudeilovebats]

MECHANISMS MENTION YEAHHHHH

[@Nadia-id4bu]

YES YES YES PLEASE

[@HalElsen]

Looking forward to your Hadestown series! Also you're not "copying" Mortius, you two have very different angles and perspectives even when reacting to and analyzing the same content. I genuinely love watching both of you and am excited for more! As for musical recommendations, I recently got into Ride The Cyclone. It's not very long, but the characters are diverse and it has some really interesting music to explore.

[@amys7539]

I've seen this show live and it is amazing, and during Mega Six they encourage the audience to get up and dance, plus you can record on phones (think it's shows the viral appeal of the musical). You should also check out the Six flashmob they did at the Tower of London several years ago - seeing so many people singing and dancing at a venue where the Queens were (even if it wasn't in a good way!) 💖

[@bluepancake1269]

Saw someone recommending starkids musicals and i fully endorse them!! The hatchefield series (The Guy Who Didn't Like Musical, Black Friday, and Nerdy Prudes Must Die) is AMAZING and they all have free official pro shoots in their youtube channel!!

[@katesullivan4707]

Just randomly, for the second act of Hadestown Gigi had a beautiful animatic for the song Flowers that actually fills in a lot of what the stage musical can't. I have it saved and return to it a lot.

[@mangacraz00]

Fun little detail if you check out the live version of six. So not the ‘official Broadway recording’. In six the queens will count down the minutes as they repeat ‘for five more minutes’. So they’ll say ‘four more’ ‘three more’ etc. etc. it’s a cute little detail to emphasize that it’s the finale (minus MegaSix of course)

[@SpringStarFangirl]

The official Broadway recording has the countdown, since it's a recording of their opening night. What the animatics use is the West End recording.

[@Zlixlriffs]

Context for the mimikyu is that mimikyu used to Gigi's mascot

[@nicco7518]

Oooh, I almost thought it was a lil nod to Anne and the picture thing. Like: expected Pikachu, got Mimikyu/Mimikyu putting on a different appearance than their actual one

[@Inky_Studios_Film]

Hey, thanks for introducing me to Six. There's a couple of shows here in the Netherlands with the British cast next month, and I convinced my friend to go with me

[@n4l9bx]

Wait what, how did I miss this, I'm SO behind on musical news, goooooogle help

[@IHeartRazzleDazzle]

Whenever I find someone reacting to something I love I immediately try and find other reactions to it! I love that you guys are “copying each other”! And each reaction is unique because every person is unique! Keep going and keep reacting, I love your reactions! 💜

[@malenejensen02]

"Six is the first musical I'll ever finish" Omg lol! Really?! Damn! 😂

[@KelilaBennet]

While you and Mortius might cover the same musicals, what I love about yours is that you really get down into the music and call out the instrumentals you find so cool. I've listened to six so many times and I've never noticed some of the things that you pointed out and it gives me new appreciation for each of the songs. You give really great insight and I really enjoy the double watch where where you try to view the piece as a whole before you get into the breakdowns. Keep doing what you're doing. 💜

[@eboduodu2824]

The fact that you got emotional at Jane Seymour’s part and Mortius got emotional at Katherine Howard’s part 🙏🏾❤️

[@dafnemejia3946]

Oh, don't listen to the complains of you "coping Mortius", they're either assholes, or young kids (like I understand why SOME kids would do that, not generalizing here) you have your own way of reacting to stuff, and it's not like Mortius is the only soul in earth to have ever reacted to these musicals. I love that you're reacting to some of the same stuff he has, cause that means more people getting to know this awesome musicals that I love

[@fernandasemideus497]

I love that casper likes Heart of stone so much bc it's such an underrated song and I love it

[@lollipopsandlandmines5898]

I would totally buy some CF merch with "Gary"

[@yumiazura]

i commented this with mortious as well but i wanted to let you know as well, in the live versions they slowly start counting down during the song at „ for X more minutes“ until at the end you have the final countdown and when i saw the show live it was even better because of that imo

[@SindianStar]

I am SO happy you caught the counting! It's my favourite part!

[@jpachu16]

It took you way too long to realize that the lyric count haha. But also this is also literal in the stage show cause it’s the last 5 minutes of the show

[@LauraVivian]

watching yours and Mortius reactions to SIX made me want to continue my MEGASIX animatic that i procrastinated for months. I just thought no one would watching, but these videos made me remember why i love animatics so much, and i'll do it even if no one watches it, i'll still like them.

[@kai_the_angel]

Well I love getting two perspectives on these musicals by the people in the open arms crew

[@tamarbaas]

I would highly recommend 'Starry' a musical about Vincent van Gogh! It's really emotional and I've only ever seen like, one other youtuber react to it. It's so well made and I think you'd really enjoy it.

[@malenejensen02]

Please never stop saying Gary (Garry?), I laugh so hard everytime! 😂

[@kallandar13]

Little Shop of Horrors is a fun one. Also you might like Into the Woods (but not the modern film version, please 😬). You also might enjoy Sweeney Todd, if you haven’t seen that before (but, again, not the more recent film version). The recent film Cyrano is very very good, too. I run to the slightly obscure, so I would understand if you don’t go for them, but I love: The Scarlet Pimpernel, and 1776. Notre Dame de Paris is also good, but is in French, so maybe not for the channel? Side note: we appreciate you, Adam!

[@XanderHarris1023]

After watching him watch Hamilton I don't if he should watch 1776 by himself.

[@mgailp]

Into the Woods would be great if you watch the filmed stage version with Bernadette Peters!!!!

[@Jcartist_10]

My Favorite part Were *ONE* of a kind no category *TWO* many years caught in his story (history) Where free ( *THREE* ) to take our crown and glory! For ( *FOUR* ) *FIVE* more minutes! We’re *SIX* !

The editing between the 19 and 20 minute mark is immaculate. It made my day.

My hyperfixations are glad that you and Mortius react to some of the same things cause then I can keep watching stuff about the things that are owning my mind

[@ryleetaliem]

Listen, I really really like going from Mortius' channel to yours to watch both your reactions. I started watching you both together with Epic. So, doing it one after another gives me almost the same vibe! React to whatever you want of course! But I'm still gonna request some of the ones that Mortius does! 😂!

[@sarrasponda1]

I really hope you get a chance to see it live! It's so worth it. And you and Mortius each bring your own unique takes and focus on different things, so having the same playlist actually makes it more interesting to see the contrast imo. Keep doing what you're doing! (And if you're looking for future musical suggestions, Beetlejuice is so much fun!)

[@klosux]

i recommend watching the legally blonde musicall hehehe mortius said its one of his favorites as well its so good

[@kory_misun]

Thanks so much to you and Mortius for introducing me to one of the most fun, sad and sparkling musicals I've ever heard!

[@malenejensen02]

People are complaining about copying? Welcome to youtube folks, that's how it works and besides you should want that!? I sertainly do! When one person is reating to something then I'm in the mood to watch everyone else watch the same thing!

[@rosedawn21]

I'm sad to hear people have been giving you hate! I actually jumped from Mortius' reactions straight into yours! I've enjoyed yours just as much because you're NOT copying him, you've had your own individual, unique reactions! ❤ I'm so glad you help each other out and the people who dislike that, well they can go somewhere else! 😈

It's been great seeing your reaction to one of my favorite musicals, so thank you for that. Unfortunately after i found out that they are doing a SIX performance in Plzeň in your last video, I found out it was indeed in Czech... Im kind of curious about it now, but scared at the same time... Hopefully the original will come to the Czech Republic someday❤

[@6BlackYoshi9]

If you like the counting in that song you probably should listen to Mathilda as well ^^

It'll never stop blowing my mind how quickly you can find close to the right note if not THE right note after only two listens. Seriously, your ear for music is astounding!

[@NeedANewName]

You should really listen to: Ex-Wives' Queens in Lockdown | SIX The Musical version. It just makes me emotional every time seeing all the casts singing this together. It makes me emotional every time seeing how big this musical has become because i saw it first at the Edinburgh fringe festival and it became from unknown to something so big. Als the writers of six made a new musical which will be released later this year called " ehy am i so single?" But they are releasing music now and i must say that i am really enjoying "8 dates" its such a mood and vibe. Would recommend!

[@NR-kp1fq]

Highly recommend “Over the Moon”, it’s a beautiful animated musical about the moon goddess Chang’e. Great songs, lovely story. It’s on Netflix.

[@marktuel7533]

whoever is being mean to my fav can literally fight me! ily your doing awesome bestie

[@Gremlin_Boi_]

To say SIX has some amazing Bangers would be an understatement.

[@Gremlin_Boi_]

Hey Casper, idk if you'd be interested but if you'd like some heart breaking bangers, Steven Universe has BANGERS. I know you aren't that kind of reaction channel but even just having the context with the show for the song is so much more impactful than just listening to the songs. There's a lot of songs though. Imho Garnet [a character] has some of the BEST songs, in the whole show.

Casper, I'm just wondering, but would you consider doing a reaction to the Heart of Stone-Alternates version? It's kind of like a mash-up of all the different actresses who've played Seymour (at least, I'm pretty sure that's what it is, I might be wrong) but it's on the Six: Live on Opening Night Broadway cast album. Maybe you could even do reaction to the full album and compare the Broadway album and the West End album!

You're only "copying" in the way that all reaction channels copy each other. What makes it unique is YOU. YOUR take. YOUR analysis. Sure, you react to the same things, but you notice and elaborate on different things. Both channels have value. Ignore people who don't seem to get that.
