Six - Megasix - VICKI MANSER’S FINAL WEST END SHOW - 15/12/19eve

VICKI’S FINAL SHOW! For anyone who’s wondering wtf happened at the end, there was a brief powercut so we all continued singing the encore x
Catherine of Aragon - Collette Guitart
Anne Boleyn - Courtney Bowman
Jane Seymour - Hana Stewart
Anna of Cleves - Cherelle Jay
Katherine Howard - Vicki Manser
Catherine Parr - Danielle Steers
plus Jaye’J and Zara made an appearance at the end!

[@alucas5280]

For everyone who keeps asking; Six announced today that the new Howard is Sophie Isaacs (Heathers) & she’ll be starting on Jan 21st! In the meantime, it’s likely Zara and Collette will be performing in her stead 👑

[@alucas5280]

Baby Yoda With A Gun The girls onstage are mainly new; for this performance, Collette was performing as Aragon, while Hana was Seymour and Cherelle was Cleves. The current principal cast is: Jarneia Richard-Noel (Aragon), Courtney Bowman (Boleyn), Natalie Paris (Seymour), Alexia McIntosh (Cleves), Sophie Isaacs (Howard) and Danielle Steers (Parr), while Collette Guitart, Hana Stewart, Zara MacIntosh and Cherelle Jay are all alternates ☺️

For everyone saying the band is fake. They aren’t. The instruments are hooked up to speakers and they will cut out too when the power goes!

[@NewMoonStarlight]

@@ethancelebration That's because a good portion of the music isn't live. Anything other than the main piano line, guitar, bass, and drum kit is prerecorded sound that plays from the soundboard (like the trumpets in No Way and Six, like probably 70% of Haus of Holbein, the beats for AYWD and DLUH which can only be made with synthesizers). That gives them the ability to play around with pacing during spoken parts that have live instrumental backing (start of No Way, IDNYL, Heart of Stone) while also having the capacity to have more complex instrumental textures than a 4-woman band is capable of during the main numbers.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

@@NewMoonStarlight And you can even hear the band mess up sometimes in Megasix. Sometimes Joan is on the wrong key, Bessie messed up her solo in the first Megasix Sing-Along. These aren't bad, it just shows that band, well, is actually a band.

[@adriangroenewald3825]

Exactly! Joan is on a key board which is of course going to cut out, Maggie and Bessie have electric guitars and Maria isn’t just going to carry on

How come at the very end after the power cut the music starts playing again from the band but the band don’t play?! If you look at the drummer the drums start playing but she doesn’t play. Does that mean they don’t play their instruments except for their little solo bits?

[@alucas5280]

Leo Godfrey They do play their instruments throughout the whole show, but I believe the playout music is a backing track!

[@leog2336]

A Lucas the play out isn’t supposed to a backing track as Seymour says hit it and all the times I’ve been to see six I checked they all start playing when they’re supposed to. Maybe all of this time it’s been a lie 😂

[@alucas5280]

Leo Godfrey I have no clue 😅 the band definitely do play their instruments throughout the show but maybe the backing track is there as a precaution?

[@harley.j.indigo]

Leo Godfrey a lot of shows will have a backup track in case things like this happen. Some crews will play it on mute through the show so that it can come in when needed. every show and tech crew is different, though:)

They’re not fake. The playout music is just a backing track, I believe, which they have in more than one point of the show, but the band play their instruments a hell of a lot. The start of the megasix shows you that.

[@blue_bedlam]

BBBigEdits they almost certainly tried to switch over to a track when the power cut, because some of the lights stayed on and they would’ve wanted as much continuity as possible. With stuff like that, you never know exactly what’s affected, and I’m sure their stage manager started cueing all sorts of stuff to see what would work and what wouldn’t
