[@ShyyGaladriel]

Allow me to ruin her “happy ending”. She did marry Thomas Semour after Henry died. But Thomas Semour not only tried to get with Princess Elizabeth (Parr’s ward), but historians are pretty sure he tried physically as well. And Elizabeth was 14 at the time. He attempted to get complete control over his then-dying nephew, King Edward, and was found guilty of treason and executed. So yeah… turns out he was a toad as well.

​@BrandonVout I mean, Henry married a 15 year old girl (Anne) and a 17 Year old Girl (Kathryn H., the latter he was 49 at the time). And he killed nearly half his wives just for something stupid. Thomas is a dick but Henry is the worst of the worst scum. Some of the wives (weirdly enough, Jane being a big temptress/Cheater trying to take Henry from Anne) weren't the best either. But yeah, Thomas was a horrible dude too, but Henry still one ups him

[@logan9021]

@@bradleybarnett1469wait Anne was 15? Everything I’ve found says that she was between 19-26 when they met (born around 1501-1507) and around 31 when they actually got married on January 25 1533

[@sunnysunsins]

Catherine Parr survived Henry, sure. But she didn't last that long after. She married Thomas Seymour (Jane's brother), and had a daughter from him, after which she died from past-partum complications. What happened to the child is unknown. She wasn't entirely happy in her 4th marriage though. Elizabeth actually was staying with her at the time and to be fair, Cath was a good stepmother to her. Thomas though... let's just say, he preyed on Elizabeth, yikes. She was sent away after Catherine found out, to protect her. Catherine was the first english woman to publish a book by her own name and she was devout protestant, which nearly turned the rhyme into "-divorced, beheaded, beheaded". She debated religion with Henry and angered the men of the court by talking back to them and arguing her points with them. They were planning to arrest her, but she found out about it early and played to Henry's ego, saying she was only a silly girl trying to distract him from things bothering him and to learn from him, and ofc he bought it 🙄 What happened to Catherine's body is what's the most awful. Short version: her corpse got mutilated by some less than savory people multiple times over a few years after it was discovered. Nowadays she has a proper tomb, replica of images of the first one that was lost

[@anastasija6866]

I was just about to comment the same thing, Thomas really became uncle bad touch, but at least a lot of people also thought it was bad at the time

[@AirQuotes2962]

According to my history class, what Thomas did could have been a rumor spread from Edward/Mary to get Elizabeth out of the house and imprison her due to her claim on the throne. Not saying it didn't happen, I wouldn't be surprised, but I was under the impression that it was more of an open mystery.

[@emilylewis5373]

@@anastasija6866 Yah. Elizabeth was still pretty young, like 14. And while she was technically of age, the whole thing gave everybody the ick. Now, if you use speculation, it wasn't just a sexual attraction to her, but it had to do with him trying to groom her for power. Her brother Edward was king. And the Seymour's had pretty much unchecked power during his reign. But he was nine, so the Seymour's really wanted Edward to kick Mary out of succession and list Elizabeth as his heir instead. Tomas had also proposed to Elizabeth. And if Elizabeth was inclined to a Seymour, then they kept the power of the crown. Now his downfall was his fighting with his brother, who had more power over his nephew them him. Which led to him trying to kidnap his nephew, which led to an integration of Elizabeth because of his relationship with her, which is why we know of any of his creepy relationship with her because of the integration records.

I am so hoping Mortius reacts to “MegaSIX” afterwards. It’s the true finale song from the musical and, in some shows, they allow the audience to film them, so there’s a lot of them out there on KZbin. It would be the perfect ending to this SIX journey

[@FeatheredWingz]

"Thomas" is Thomas Seymour, Jane's brother, btw. The good news is, she was able to finally marry him after Henry kicked the bucket. The bad news is, she seemed more in love than he did...The teenage Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth the 1st; Anne Boleyn's daughter with Henry) lived with them for a bit. And Thomas was uncomfortably handsy with Elizabeth...It got to the point where Cathy Parr thought it was best to send Elizabeth to reside somewhere else. Since the teenage King Edward VI was already his nephew thru Jane, it's probable that a large part of the reason that he married Catherine Parr after Henry's death, had more to do with Cathy being the King Henry's lawful widow & King Edward's stepmother, than love. He wanted to further gain influence in court and over-take his older brother (who had essentially been made King Edward's regent, until he came of age) in political importance. He made no secret of the fact that he wanted to be ever closer & favourable to the child king, in order to exert his influence over him....and the actions he took to do so, cost him HIS head. And, like your editor pointed out, Cathy soon followed him to the grave, dying from post-natal complications, much like Jane. Anyway, I'm glad the musical chose to end her story on a high note (literally)!

[@morhido]

27:26 i'm so happy you said this!! A rather cynical take i've seen on this part of the song is that even now, parr isn't allowed to have a song to herself and will always be tied to the other queens. But i've always interpeted it as her finally allowing the other queens to join her of her own volition rather than being all lumped together by historians.

[@QuikVidGuy]

There's a dialogue scene that takes place right before all the other queens join in. I still think the 2018 tour is the best version of the show, but I don't know if anyone's animated that scene from that production. It starts after Parr sings "disppear," with Anne saying "Wait, I don't get it."

[@arlothe_ariel]

it's my favourite part! when anne says "ohh i get it (a very impressive explanation) yeah, i read!", it's so sassy and brilliant, i wish he'd react to that part

[@PuccaLover15]

After learning who these amazing women are, I agree with Parr. It’s not fair they’re only known as Henry’s “six wives”. They have incredible stories, put up with and went through so much, and accomplished great things, yet they don’t go into detail about them in any history classes. Just “Oh yeah, there was King Henry VIII and he had six wives. Next historical person.” I, for one, didn’t even know their names or the little “divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived” until I heard Ex-Wives. I can’t wait for you to hear Six! You are going to LOVE it!!!!

[@rosedawn21]

There's a lot of books out there and TV shows adapted from some books that show more of their perspective. I've been obsessed with Tudor England ever since I was a teenager and I've read so many books about each of them. In my opinion, they are more famous than he is and he is only famous because he treated them so badly. In reality, he accomplished almost nothing and his daughter Queen Elizabeth I far outshone him. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr are my favorites of all the queens

[@musicnmovies92]

One of the best parts is that Mega Six isn't included on the album, and you are actually encouraged to pull out your phone and record it. (With one of the queens usually stealing a phone from the front row and taking it on stage to film, re covid at least). So you can find tons of Mega Six live videos because of this and it is super fun to watch! It was genious marketing!

20:56 love you talking about the placement of these notes. To me it always felt like a “pulling feeling” like someone who doesn’t want to move and is being dragged forward. The words and melody are almost being pulled along instead of bouncing forward with the song.

[@tamarbaas]

If you're taking recs for what musical to do after this one, I *highly* recommend Starry, a beautiful musical about Van Gogh that I haven't seen a lot of people cover. Or alternatively; In The Heights, since I know you are a big Hamilton enjoyer.

[@jacobmorejead8122]

Between the end of the solo and the start of when the other queens join in there is a really important conversation. Essentially it sums up the point of the musical. I would love if you could find and react to an animatic of it.

[@jane_d0e-qi4wd]

27:49 "Im so happy right now. Im not listening" that is so me, i understand you man

[@destinygist4442]

This is my favorite animatic of this song

[@eacole72]

You can hear CP's inspiration in the rhythm and the vocal runs. Alicia Keys, with Emilie Sande. She was probably the most learned of the queens, and she encouraged her minor stepchildren (Elizabeth & Edward) to study. Without her influence, Elizabeth would likely not have been equipped to inspire a Golden Age in their country. Henry seemed to respect Catherine Parr in a way that he didn't respect most of the others. Catherine of Aragon was a skilled tactician, and Anne Boleyn understood foreign policy. Had he been willing to listen to these three as advisors, he would have had a brilliant court even beyond what he had.

[@agwarddd]

The last part always creates an interesting thing to me. Henry typically had wives who were strong women, intelligent and learned, who had a fire in them. Yet all of them, but Catherine Parr, were ultimately cast aside as soon as he was displeased with them. I always take it as an indication that this was the kind of woman Henry was actually attracted to do (though attraction would’ve generally played little role in Tudor royal marriage), but that he was completely ill equipped to being with strong and powerful women, as he had too fragile of an ego and felt slighted in every situation of them not completely agreeing with him and his whims. Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn were women too strong for Henry to handle. Jane Seymour, while supposedly the meekest of the six, also pushed Henry to restore Mary to succession below her own children (which did not succeed at the time, but led to reconciliation, and restoring Mary and Elizabeth would be completed by Catherine Parr) indicating that she did have some strength to her and that she was active in the court politics. Anne of Cleves didn’t have a great grasp on English and seemed to hold him in little regard, leading to their divorce, but she was wise and well educated, and given his history, was quick to agree to an annulment, so they ultimately formed a positive relationship after the divorce. Catherine Howard was also fairly well educated and until the events that led to her execution, Henry seemed to hold her in high regard. And finally, Parr was an extremely intelligent and rather forward thinking woman for her time, who knew how to handle Henry’s changing moods and even managed to circumvent potentially becoming his third divorce and leading there to be SEVEN wives of Henry VIII.

[@ameliareaves5081]

Also i love the line "cause in history, im fixed as one of six" because it can be history, like what happened in the past or his-story as in Henry's life.

[@randompers0n702]

Gigi's I Don't Need Your Love animatic makes me so nostalgic because it was my first Gigi animatic I ever saw!!! I still remember when they posted the Warrior of Mind demo animatic and I was like: "Omg, Gigi likes EPIC too! I'm sure that his will just be a one off thing though..."

[@emmikay7387]

Fun fact, that's actually not very fun when you think about it- Catherine Parr's mother was a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon when she was queen, and when she had a daughter asked the queen to be her god mother. Catherine of Aragon was Catherine Parr's god mother, and she was named after her

[@hannahhester8376]

This song amways makes me cry, because I'm just imagining the real queens somehow being able to time travel and see this show, they'd absolutely love it.

[@rosedawn21]

Catherine Parr and Anne Boleyn are my favorites of the queens. They were educated and smart and each tried to effect change even in the face of society thinking women shouldn't be involved in politics or anything "manly". They also both tried to stand up to Henry even though it ultimately led to Anne's demise and even Catherine almost got charged with treason. Catherine also actually convinced Henry to restore Elizabeth and Mary as princesses and tried to have all the children together in one palace.

[@MelissaDiemer-q8l]

Catherine parr was the only other queen besides Catherine of aragon to rule England in Henry's absence.

[@Politesbrokenglasses]

Late to the party but the some of the queen fight's roast were changed especially on Catherine parr's monologue, when she says "alright fine, i'll tell you a story" instead of cleves (red), it was Howard (pink) saying "Are you sure Catherine? We don't mind you taking this one out, you must've been so exhausted from all those backing vocals."

[@andreahunt9328]

This is reflected in her character in the musical, but Catherine Parr was kind of the only adult in the room in the final years of Henry's life. She encouraged him to reconcile with and bring his daughters back to court, and put them back into the line of succession after his son, Edward. While he was away waging war in France, he left Catherine behind as his regent, with instruction that she would serve as a regent for Edward if Henry died. As @sunnysunsins_4920 describes, Catherine was very adept at handling Henry without him realizing he was being handled.

[@mrmatrixmusicman8787]

20:10 I don’t know how much music theory knowledge you have, but it’s great you’re picking up on things like that, the only thing is that this section is most likely in a slower “2” feel, you were counting a quick 4.

Great reaction as always! even if you don't make a video for it, you should check out the dialogues in between the main song and the remix (when the other queens come in). It contains essential lines and context that explains the true message of the musical. 😃

[@ValentinaB2001]

6:06 That part becomes funnier if you take into account that Jane Seymour is presented in the show as someone calm and the one who would react the least like that but there you have her, discovering that their relationship was more toxic than the word poison and getting angry because the other one is crying because he didn't let her see her daughter (They both have reasons to feel bad about it but it's kind of funny)

[@justsomeonewhopopsupeveryw1444]

I’d highly recommend looking at Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. It’s another musical set in England but in the city of Sheffield (up in the north). It’s about a 16yr old boy who wants to be a drag queen. There’s a lot of the show on KZbin with the original West End cast, both the songs and dialogue together. Just a warning with the dialogue is that it’s in a Sheffield accent which is confusing to hear if you aren’t used to the accent and/or have trouble processing audio. Also trigger warning for homophobia, some racism and bullying if you do decide to check it out. Well worth a watch I’m my opinion.

Yeah, Catherine Parr was widowed multiple times, but to be fair, they were all a lot older than her when she was arranged to be married to them. Unfortunately for her, Thomas Seymour was pretty much like the guys in Katherine Howard's song. He was definitely not different. While he was married to Catherine Parr, he molested Elizabeth who was a young teen at the time. Sometimes with Catherine's help, since she was foolishly in love with him and tricked herself into believing he was just teasing Elizabeth. She even held onto Elizabeth while Thomas took a sword and cut her dress off of her. Yeeeah, your standard "It was just a prank, bro!" BS. And after Catherine was dead, he started a scheme to try to marry Elizabeth since she had been put back into the line of succession. Oh, and he tried to kidnap young King Edward (Henry and Jane's son who succeeded him) and killed the boy's dog when it wouldn't stop barking during the kidnapping attempt. Thankfully, he was executed. He was NOT a good guy.

This song really summs up the dicotomy of their history. On the one hand, you _want_ to find out more about them, who they actually were, independednt from Henry's Bullshit. But on the other hand it is absolutely undeniable that probably none of these woman would be rememeberd today, if they hadn't been married to Henry. That is not fair but it is the truth.

If you still haven't decided what musical to do after this (I know you record these a long time in advance) I'd HIGHLY recommend Hadestown. I know it was on the list, and it is honestly amazing.

Parr breaking up the fight and being like come on guys, this isn’t right! That’s so me! Could not agree more with her questioning why they’re bringing up and comparing all this trauma and suffering that they’ve all been through with each other! Growing up blind I’ve always had people tell me that they feel guilty for complaining or being upset at anything when they see my situation. For one, I am a very joyful and positive person, not made bitter by my situation, and two, everyone’s pain, struggles and traumas are completely valid, and I don’t want to diminish anyone’s traumas on my account. I know there are plenty of people out there who have it much worse than me, and many of them are completely able-bodied and neurotypical.

If it makes you feel any better, after Henry's death, Catharine did marry Thomas! Unfortunately, Thomas had his own set of issues and abused Princess Elizabeth, Parr's step daughter and the only biological child between Henry and Anne Bolyn. Elizabeth was abused by many of the men in her life, which is largely considered why she never married or had children of her own.

I´M CRYING MY EYES OUT!!!!! 💔💔💔💔💔💔 Thank you

[@wolfieedits539]

HEY HAPPY FACT TIME After Henry passed away Catherine Parr got remarried again but this time to you guessed it Thomas the love of her life

[@TheMbangel]

I love how she says "HIS-story" instead of clearly "history". It shows that history is written by the victors - in this case, the patriarchy. Which can be seen by how history remembers Mary, Queen of Scots as Bloody Mary because of the beheadings she took part in... Yet, Henry VIII doesn't have a cool moniker for beheading his wives, just that he had 6 of them. Which is not even that many if you look at some of the traditional African chieftains and royalty.

I love the name of the new duo channel but I do have a question. Are you not nervous it will be hard for viewers to find you by name since the song from epic is the same name? Not trying to come off in any negative way, I’ve been told my text tone is bad but I genuinely just want to know your thoughts on it.

[@phoenix_Talaria]

Comes up immediately when type in the full name🤷

[@saiyasha848]

It is by now relatevely accepted that henry must have had some sort of genetic disease that meant his 'fishes' din't swim right, which would explain the extreme number of miscarriages in his wifes. He clearly wasn't entirely infertile as he had three children who lived to adulthood that are most definitly confirmed, but those were probably the lucky outliers instead of the norm. So the miscarriages were his plugs not fitting correctly in the hole.

I'd love to see you talk about Ride The Cyclone if you've never given its soundtrack a listen before

[@t_ferrari.o]

Ahhhh you're so close to the end of six, loved your reactions! But if you are looking for new musicals I think you might enjoy Hadestown (it is a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice story, if you don't know it yet) or Anastasia. Another interesting, but a bit more on the funny side musical is Beetlejuice. There's also Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, which is an underrated gem. If you are looking for something a bit different, there's also a musical based on Death Note, which I really enjoyed.

It is sad that without Henry, we probably would t know about too many of these women and their accomplishments. Even with their personal flaws- the girls were heavy hitters in their age! Several of them outwitted the game and encouraged a better quality of life for other women. In saying that- how EMBARRASSING is Henry's legacy? An anger prone, fit throwing king who fancied himself akin to the heroes of grand love ballads (a hopeless romantic, if you care to be charitable) if he could ONLY find the right woman to be his...except whenever he had a wife, no matter how dutiful, he grew bored with them and was a regular practitioner of infidelity. Funny how that makes him quite the hypocrite, seeing as he executed Anne and Katherine on charges of infidelity. The nobles of his day and age were so in the know, even in different countries, that they grew cautious. We know him today as the king least able to keep it in his pants. Gluttony, his great flaw in all aspects of his life. Gout riddled at the end of his life, around 400 pounds to where it was difficult to get him to fit inside of his coffin. Folklore turning into history that his body exploded and/or leaked fluids through the failed soldering. People were paid handsomely to pray for him. The Queen's come off with much better legacies than good old Henry.
