Six The Musical (Reaction!) - Global Performance of "Ex-Wives" and "Six" : Behind the Curve Reacts

Hello everyone, hopefully we're having a great day! So I was scrolling through youtube the other day and this video caught my eye. I'm not sure how many different Six casts there are, but apparently they all got together for a quarantine musical extravaganza. I absolutely loved this show, and I can't wait to watch this! And remember, if you're enjoying the content be sure to like, comment, and subscribe :)

Every cast has 6 official queens plus 2 swings who can cover for any of the 6 if they can't perform, to clarify for some of the excess lol

[@trevonte3723]

Some cast have more than 2 swings tho for example the west end cast currently has 4 swings/alternates

[@lukas309984417]

each cast has 3 swings! (excluding the cruise ships they have way more). each swing covers 2 primary queens so theres 3 women who are swings!

[@miathomas6476]

It’s mainly 2 swings/ alternates and 1 main understudy who wears the black costume (collette, grace, Mallory, Karis etc)

[@kristenhenningfeld6016]

Normally 3 or 4 understudies

[@emmettdorian]

I haven't finished the video yet so idk if you looked up all of the casts but if you or anyone else didn't know here's a quick rundown of all of them: Cambridge - the og og cast from when six was just a student production Album - the queens from the actual cast album, I'm pretty sure they only did a handful of performances West end - the queens from the og uk tour who went to the west end when six did, and the current west end actresses who replaced the queens who left to do other projects Uk tour - the current (2nd) uk tour cast Broadway - originally the chicago and US tour cast before transferring to broadway Bliss & Breakaway - the two casts performing on the norwegian cruise line bliss and breakaway cruise ships Australia - the current original australia cast OH and the man in the video is toby marlow, one of the writers of six who was also and emergency cover for catherine parr for one performance!! Just in case you or anyone else didn't know

[@ashildrtheswift3028]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6rFf6N8pc9ke5o In this video he talks about when he played Catherine Parr

[@cherylwilson8743]

I just commented asking who he was, I should have read your comment first ha. Thanks for saying who he is. Loved him in this.

[@emmettdorian]

@@cherylwilson8743 no problem!! I definitely recommend checking out the videos people took of the megasix from his parr performance or the audio boot of him performing I don't need your love. He's really good but it's also so weird hearing a much deeper voice compared to the rest of the cast. And also that fact that so many of the actresses were out that for the specific performance he was in they had to call in him, one of the writers, and genesis lynea, the album version of anna of cleves, to perform last minute in addition to the alternates makes the whole thing feel very chaotic and rushed. Which to be fair it was.

[@rachaelsworld1116]

Thanks this really helps.

[@purplerhinointhesky3095]

"We're one of a kind..." I tear up every time that line starts, don't know why it just get me 🥲 Six has become me and my Ma's driving soundtrack, we Get Down to it whenever we have a long drive haha. Seriously thank you so much for reacting to this show! I had been putting off watching it for a while, and your reaction was the first I finally watched of it and I can't stop listening ever since 😁

[@exist_without_saving]

The lockdown Six videos are amazing. The West End cast also did an at-home performance of Haus of Holbein and it's HILARIOUS, it's just all of them radiating chaotic energy while they party in their living rooms. This has probably already been said but the Bliss and Breakaway casts were the casts for Six on the Norwegian Bliss and Breakaway cruise ships, and the Cambridge cast is the literal original cast of six - when the production was just a Cambridge-based show with school funding. The one guy doing all the spoken parts ("rude," etc) was Toby Marlow, one of the show's writers. (Once the entire west end cast got so sick they ran out of alternates so they had to cut some choreography and call Toby in as Parr, it was GOLDEN.) Hope to see more Six content soon!

[@TeroTheShortOne]

Thank you for mentioning the West End Haus of Holbein, I just watched it and I'm pretty sure I pulled something because I was laughing so much. :D

[@miathomas6476]

Bliss and breakaway are the cruises that Six are on. And it was Grace Mouat (original west end cast) and Danielle steers (current west end cast) idea

[@jamessavery1854]

10 casts! West End 1, West End 2, UK Tour, Broadway, Australia, Bliss 1, Bliss 2, Breakaway, Cambridge, Album!

[@MaiarBellydance]

Wooo Australia! They only got through their Sydney season before COVID hit, but I saw them at the Opera House last January and they were amazing! Also... Chloe, who played Aragon the Aus cast just scored the role of Eliza Hamilton in the upcoming Australian production.

[@naomit95]

I can feel myself smiling while I watch this!! I'm so glad you reactd to this because I didn't know this video even existed lol. watching your reaction vid made me decide I HAAAD to watch the full musical so thank you for doing these reacts

[@miagrace962]

I love the Australian cast!! As an Aussie, my opportunity to see SIX was last year at the Sydney Opera House. I was front row and it was in a really intimate theatre so I was super close. It was AMAZING

[@deldevours]

Yes! I've seen vids of the Broadway and West End versions, and they are both amazing, but there's just something about the Aussie cast that I love. I saw them this past weekend in Adelaide and they are phenomenal,

[@tabby5228]

In response to your question about combining cast for a number, I know there were a few quarantine numbers done on KZbin. Off the top of my head I can mention you can’t stop the beat from hairspray and a dance performance of the jellicle ball from cats. Both done by multiple cast members both present and past. Both very well done in my opinion. But yeah, this performance from SIX helped me fall more in love with this show. Chills every time.

[@kinglifemaster8651]

Me at the end of the song: hey guys I'm petty sure there SIX

[@memori168]

I watched this video and OOOOOMG I'M CRYING I'm so happy for no reason I have chills and huuuuuuh thanks for letting me see this!

[@lukas309984417]

You are so wholesome! If you ever want to hear some other cast's (other then the album) i know theres some audios of the Australian cast and tour and broadway out there I could send them

[@blisscr160]

Love the thumbnail!! :)

[@meeting_meghan]

That was so cool. I've never seen Six, but I enjoyed that. I know Toronto has an awesome theatre district and not only has their own shows, but gets many touring company's from Broadway and London. Also, I believe the show Rent did something like this with the song Will I, but it was to help Arts Workers when the pandemic closed down Broadway. Also Peter Hollens and Home Free did something similar in October with the U2 song I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. All the best!

[@ReginaCordium722]

Have you heard the shanty version made a couple of months ago? It's from JP Talent & Events here on youtube. A handful of UK queens are in it!

[@Lalaisinhaa]

if you liked this idea you need to check out the hairspray cast doing a similar video with the song you can't stop the beat, i think you gonna like it

[@Elizabeth-go4kv]

So glad you did this!! Go Anna Uzele!! One of my friends is good friends with her.

[@AndrewDikens]

I absolutely loved this so much!

[@yourlocalsophia]

Represent!! Australian cast for the win!

[@funtimechara6534]

This song makes me cry

[@rafaellarodrigues8136]

I'd be soooo happy if you react to all of the songs in six

[@amandas.6500]

How am I not familiar with this musical? Did you say you reacted to it on Patreon? I've never noticed it there, but I have trouble finding things there. I'm Intrigued! I think I want to see the whole thing.

[@cherylwilson8743]

Who was the " rude " guy? he was so funny. Loved this so much. I'd never watch anything like this so thanks for reacting so I did get to see it.

[@ItJustMe12]

Toby Marlow the composer and co writer of six

[@cherylwilson8743]

@@ItJustMe12 Thank you

[@lalalalalalwlla]

@@cherylwilson8743 He portrayed Katherine Parr in few shows because there was no one to do that role at moment due to sickness (i think it was a flu or something like that)

[@maurguri]

@@lalalalalalwlla im pretty sure toby is non binary and uses they/them pronouns :)

[@miathomas6476]

The co-writer of six (Toby Marlow) and fun fact Tobys sister Annabel was part of the Cambridge cast

[@SamVargo]

PLEASE share your Spotify Wrapped 😂😂

[@abbyj4108]

If the Australian cast was your favourite is it time to do the Australian cast bootleg on patreon...?

[@kristenhenningfeld6016]

I saw the traveling broadway version of six but they weren’t on here

[@SpringStarFangirl]

I'm pretty sure that's because the tour kicked off well after this was recorded.

[@Elizabeth-go4kv]

There's too much to look at....oh just wait

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I will stand by this. British and Aussie accents just do not work for this song. The ends of the words just arent sharp enough for the tone. At least in my opinion. Im probably aloje because im not a music person. Feels wild to say though
