Megasix - London The Alternate Massive to end all Alternate Massives! Liv Alexander debut! 12/06

[@jessicapatterson492]

Five alternates and then there's Jaye saying there's no way she can be replaced 😂😂 that worked out unintentionally well!

MASSIVE PROPS to both Hannah for switching roles and Liv for performing on such short notice! They're amazing!

what happened?

[@anaflavia8197]

Danielle got sick mid-show, so Hana had to switch to her other 1st cover role, which is Parr, and they brought Liv on as Seymour for the rest of the show

I've just thought, what if Hana did Heart of Stone as Seymour THEN the show stopped and she had to do I Don't Need Your Love as well... That would have been pretty epic ngl

[@kirstyf]

I’d had the same thought! That would have been crazy.

I have two questions: 1. Has Colette always worn shorts while playing Boleyn? At least in recent history? I feel like I’ve seen mega sixes with her wearing something else? 2. Are they going to have 5 alternates in London now, or is someone leaving?

[@amb2487]

1. collette only just started wearing the shorts, before she had a skirt 2. there are 4 west end alts (hana, zara, cherelle, collette) and 2 standbys (for emergency covers like this) them being bryony duncan and liv alexander, from this vid

@@haphazardtube8027 Liv was cover Aragon/Boleyn/Cleves on the Norwegian Breakaway Cruise, and Bryony was cover Boleyn/Seymour/Howard on the Norwegian Bliss 1.0 Cruise (aka first Bliss cast); Bryony became principal Howard on the ship in January 2020 after Alicia Corrales-Connor left the cast early. Both of them just finished their times on their ships, with Bryony finishing a couple weeks before and Liv's cast being shut down because of COVID. Bryony's cast lasted from Sept 2019 to March 2020, and Liv's cast lasted from Nov 2019 to March 2020.

@@haphazardtube8027 I think she was only announced fairly recently as the super swing to cover both town and tour but yeah she was on the cruise before.

[@haphazardtube8027]

So I guess I have more questions? Does Liv cover everyone? Is there a reason why they didn’t just have her fill in for Parr when it became evident that Danielle couldn’t finish the show?

[@kirstyf]

I think the plan is she’ll be able to cover everyone as emergency cover when needed. I don’t know for sure, no one does, but can only assume she’d rehearsed more as Seymour and was more ready to do that than Parr.

[@kennychytracek]

I am really surprised that they just switched Hana from Seymour to Parr. I'm guessing that Liv was better at Seymour than Parr and that's why they just had Hana switch instead of having Liv be Parr.

[@kirstyf]

Yeah I don’t think Liv had been with them long, so she probably hadn’t rehearsed Parr as much of Seymour.

did they restart the show or just continue it?

Their costumes are not very defining to which character they are as the other ones. I personally would’ve loved see them in the other costumes.

Danielle had an issue so she went off just before Don’t Lose Ur Head. She put on Instagram afterwards that she was struggling with anxiety :(

[@evanbole4196]

Why are the costumes different??? Some of the costumes look plain

[@kirstyf]

Do you mean the black one with leather shorts? She came on mid show to make her debut, and I think it was earlier than expected so her costume wasn’t ready yet!
