Fun fact: All of Henry's wives are descended from Edward I. Katherine of Aragon was actually the great granddaughter of King Henry IV's sister, who were both from the house of lancaster, which ruled before the Tudors and the Yorks. So in theory, Katherine actually had a much stronger claim to the English throne than her husband.
@@joshuawiddowson3975 well, not quite. I’m pretty sure one of Henry’s daughters (Mary) ruled for a little while, then later, Elizabeth I, also his daughter, got put in charge. His son also ruled, but I think he died pretty soon after he was crowned. Not sure about that part though.
@@mmmirei She ruled because there was no male to take the throne, and was better keep someone of the bloodline ruling instead of other noble, but in this case, Henry (a male) was alive so Katherine doesn't haved any right for the throne
@@mmmirei Henry's son Edward died after 6 years of being king. He was a very sickly boy. Because there was no male heirs to the throne, Mary was crowned as Queen. Mary was a Catholic and that led to the execution of many protestants leading to her nickname Bloody Mary. Mary wanted her sister to rule after her because Elizabeth promised to keep England Catholic. Elizabeth however did not do this and ended up giving England one of its greatest rulers.
3:12 is my favourite part with all the queens introducing themselves. Two little things I really like: -The vocals panning from left to right as they go in chronological order. -The slight change to the instrumentals for each queen - Aragon's bit adds a lute, Boleyn's has the high short notes (I can't tell the instrument), Seymour's the long piano notes, Cleves' the accordion, Howard's the additional beat, and Parr's the electric keyboard. The second aspect is especially great because of how they fit in with each queen. Seymour's bit actually includes a part from _Heart of Stone,_ but the others fit their personalities in the show like Aragon's dignity/royalty, Boleyn's childishness, and Howard's flirtatiousness, or in Cleves' case her origins. Parr's is kinda split in two, with the first half being more subdued and the second half more assertive - just like _I Don't Need Your Love._
The instrument for Boleyn is pizzicato violin strings I believe :) I also really love how the instruments represent them, it kinda shows how their not just “six wives” they’re their own person
My sister has once jokingly say “You’re gonna summon them one day you know” after hearing me listen to this song nearly every day… and I.. kinda want that to happen, I’m not sure why

@Bethany’s World Of Videos! he got his own church he dont need a musical, the sad fact is if he were alive today he'd definitely be the type to demand a musical be made about him. royalty really was narcissistic back then. like the Duke of Ellington as portrayed in one of the Sharpe movies.
I just came from the live show and listening to the studio recordings. They got vocals, they got the same lyrics but damn these recordings have 10% of the energy the singers give when they're performing live! It's like listening to a lullaby, whereas the live show is a full on rock concert! See it live if you can, it's so worth it!!
I’ve listened to this whole album multiple times over, with headphones and without, but I just realized that when one singular queen is speaking you can pinpoint where she’s coming from. Like Aragon is all the way on the left, Seymour and Cleaves are right in the middle and Parr is all the way on the right. A really cool detail that I just realized.
Me: Have you heard SIX? Its the wives of Henry VIII as a girl pop group Friend: sounds like a joke Me: *laughs in theatre kid* Anne Boleyn singing Don't Lose Your Head is EXTRA (my friend likes Get Down best)
my friend: yeah sure also friend: sings "your a nice guy" "you said that i tricked ya" "no one wants a waist over nine inches" "tall large henry vii" those clips from tiktok then i chased her till she ran home in fear
@@rainybopz OMG YES. MY FRIEND SAYS SHE DOESNT KNOW WHAT DONT LOSE YOUR HEAD IS BUT SHE KNOWS “I’ll think about it maybe, xo baby!” LIKE, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE-
I never knew much about the six wives of Henry VIII (Apart with Anne Boleyn being beheaded) until I was introduced to SIX. I remember the first time I listened to this soundtrack on a car ride. And I instantly fell in love with Ex-Wives.
I have been listening to this for months now, and I just realised today that the Jane Seymour's line: "you suddenly see more" is referencing The little shop of Horror's song Suddenly Seymour - which is the ultimate evidence that Toby Marlow und Lucy Moss were the typical theatre kids who know all the musicals and I wish I could be their friend....
This show is truly amazing. Saying this as a person who knows musical theater and Broadway musicals. Saw it for my birthday. It’s amazing and funny and only 1 act. I’ve also watched the British cast perform and I thing it one of the very few better American remixes. The Filipina who played Anne Boylin is hilarious and sooooo good.
Fun fact: the theatre Camp I just finished has this open share thing. Essentially, the musical ensemble elective (4-6 grade) did this song for their show (but with some lyric changes) One of the lyric changes I remember: OG: My sleeves are green but my lipsticks red Change: my shirt is green but my wig is red
Fun fact: All of Henry's wives are descended from Edward I. Katherine of Aragon was actually the great granddaughter of King Henry IV's sister, who were both from the house of lancaster, which ruled before the Tudors and the Yorks. So in theory, Katherine actually had a much stronger claim to the English throne than her husband.

Mary was a Catholic and that led to the execution of many protestants leading to her nickname Bloody Mary.

I love how Katherine Howard has the same energy in this song as Hercules Mulligan in Aaron Burr, sir and the story of tonight reprise
I can’t unhear the resemblance

We know you know our names
And our fame
and our faces
Know all about the glories
And the disgraces
I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word in a stupid rhyme
So I picked up a pen and a microphone
(History's about to get overthrown)
Divorced
Beheaded
Died
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
But just...
for you...
tonight...
We're divorced,
beheaded
(LIVE!)
Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow, as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
Raising up the roof, till we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth that we'll be re-vea-ling
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
but now we're...
ex-wives
All you ever hear and read about
Is our ex and the way it ended
But a pair doesn't beat
a royal flush
You're gonna find out how we got unfriended
Tonight we gonna do ourselves justice
'Cause we're taking you to court
Every Tudor Rose... has its thorns
And you're gonna hear 'em live
in consort
Divorced
Beheaded
Died
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
But just...
for you...
tonight...
We're divorced,
beheaded
(Live!)
Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow, as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
Dancing to the beat, till the break of day. Once
We're done, we'll start again like it's the Renaissance
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
but now we're...
ex-wives
(Divorced)
My name is Catherine Of Aragon
Was married 24 years, I'm a paragon
Of royalty,
my loyalty is to the Vatican
So if you try to dump me
You won't try that again
(Beheaded)
I'm that Boleyn girl
And I'm up next, see
I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I'm that sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well my sleeves may be green
But my lipstick's red!
(Died)
Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved
(Rude)
When my son was newly born
I died
but I'm not what I seem
Or am I?
Stick around and you'll Suddenly see more...
(Divorced)
Ich bin Anna of Cleves
(Ja)
When he saw my portrait he was like...
(Jaa)
But I didn't look as good as I did in my pic
Funny how we all discuss... that
But never Henry's little...
Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine Who lost her head
(Beheaded)
For my promiscuity outside of wed
Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
K Howard is here And the fun's begun
(Survived)
Five down, I'm the final wife
I saw him to the end of his life
I'm the survivor,
Catherine Parr
I bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said I bet you wanna know how we got this far
Do you wanna know how we got this far?
Then welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow, as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
Get your hands up, get this party buzzing
You want a queen Bee, well there's half a dozen
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
But now we're...
ex-wives!

hff yewy _Last time I was that early Anne and Katherine both still _*_had_*_ their heads._
@@misanamutual bro your old
And Anne Boleyn’s
......
You cannot tell me that Anne of Cleves is a literal girlboss in the musical, she literally slays her whole part
I'm so lucky to have the same birthday as her she's amazing
Genesis Lynnae is amazing, though.
I love just how contemptuously they go through the rhyme, but as soon as it’s done, all the energy floods back. Expertly performed.
You are spitting factos!
everyone: singing to this
me: making dance moves
SAME! Life of a dancer lol
I was a dancer and did a dance to this song and others from the soundtrack I loved it
lol so relatable
this is so relatable!!! (wtf❤)
I absolutely love the way Howard sings “Tonight we’re gonna do ourselves justice, cuz we’re taking you to courrrttttt~” ✨
Jesus loves you ! ♡
Henry Vlll: oh they made a musical about m-
Oh it’s about my damn wives Never mind....
Yus
Boo fucking hoo, Henry
@Bethany’s World Of Videos! he got his own church he dont need a musical, the sad fact is if he were alive today he'd definitely be the type to demand a musical be made about him. royalty really was narcissistic back then. like the Duke of Ellington as portrayed in one of the Sharpe movies.
Shush up Henry ur irrelevant
Lol
Okay am i the only one who keeps listening to this more that the songs?
JANE SEYMOUR IS THAT YOU
@@onyxjaee Yes it is!!! I've come back from death and am now in UA-cam 😱😳❤🤗 Do you like my Song?
OH JANE HI
people from your time were m e a n and would probably kill me but hi
Hey, Jane!
oooh here comes the drama- 👀👀👀
“Funny how we all discuss that but never Henry's little-“
“PRICK UP YOUR EARS!!!, I'm the Catherine who lost her head”
Literally my Favorite part

I am iconic

@@Ellawhoisahmanno ur not
it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise that the lil riff is from Greensleeves
What riff
@@louponcho the guitar one thats like a modernized Greensleeves, it just kinda runs through the whole song
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED IT
Ha, same
@@whydoikinsoowon you're my favourite hehe
Ok but is no one going to talk about how cool anna of cleves sounds?? It sounds so sleek and i can't describe it in words
Ikr
She sounds soooo much like Garnet from Steven Universe in my opinion
Everyone’s talking about their favorite line here, but Catherine of Aragons riff going into her part scratches my brain in the best possible way
Ikr I loved her riff
( Catherine of Aragon is my ancestor )
I just came from the live show and listening to the studio recordings. They got vocals, they got the same lyrics but damn these recordings have 10% of the energy the singers give when they're performing live! It's like listening to a lullaby, whereas the live show is a full on rock concert! See it live if you can, it's so worth it!!
Already did, can confirm.
I’ve listened to this whole album multiple times over, with headphones and without, but I just realized that when one singular queen is speaking you can pinpoint where she’s coming from. Like Aragon is all the way on the left, Seymour and Cleaves are right in the middle and Parr is all the way on the right. A really cool detail that I just realized.
My theatre teacher got me hooked shout out Ms. F
My two favs musicals right now as a ten year old are six and heather’s the musical I am now listening to both soundtracks

Combining my two favorite musicals? Awesome!
I never thought I would hear a song about history before and literally be OBSESSED with it but I guess that just happened
Dear SIX, please tell the cast I love their musical and they did such a good job! :)
They did so good
This reminds me of the song “Cell block tango” and I love that so much.
Me: Have you heard SIX? Its the wives of Henry VIII as a girl pop group
Friend: sounds like a joke
Me: *laughs in theatre kid* Anne Boleyn singing Don't Lose Your Head is EXTRA
(my friend likes Get Down best)
We all know haus of holbein is the best one. (please don't start a war with me I'm tired)

I never knew by listening to music you learn more about history then you can at school
Original BROADWAY cast or west end? I think it’s west end
Edit: oh wait it the Edinburgh pre-performance cast. Ok
West end
well it’s the original cast which is the west end cast also it’s exactly the same as the album version
*• Purple Panda Playz •* it’s the pre-west end cast, as only Aimie and Natalie went with Six to the west end 💫
Studio cast and og tour
So neither
neither
I just love how I made up a full choreography with this song and all you wanna do and I keep those 2 songs on repeat
me too
same
it’s also really fun if you do dance because you can do tricks
Congratulations girls, you made history fun to learn 😊💖💜
I never knew much about the six wives of Henry VIII (Apart with Anne Boleyn being beheaded) until I was introduced to SIX. I remember the first time I listened to this soundtrack on a car ride. And I instantly fell in love with Ex-Wives.
5:17
I love this part so much. There’s something so choking and dramatic to it.
Henry VIII in hell: WTH! They made a musical! But yes, Jane Seymour was my favourite
Omp
true 🤣🤣
Cakey Cake rude!
*rude.*
@@DreamWLia He did actually say Jane Seymour was his true love because she gave birth to a valuable heir: Edward
Literally, my favorite song ever I listen to this six times in one day it’s really good
it’s so damn good, one of my favorite musical soundtracks. I haven’t watched Six but I got recommended it by a friend and listened to the soundtrack
they’re also awfully lucky that Henry chose patterns for his wives lmfao
I haven't seen it either :/ but I'm in love with the soundtrack
I've got an A from exam of Henry VIII wives. JUST BECAUSE OF THIS MUSICAL. THANKS TO THE CRATORS!!!
You didn’t get any As for spelling, then? 😂
@@EditorOfSL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hadn’t heard of this till it came to my local theater recently and It was AWESOME I’ve been obsessed with the songs and the lights/effects were INSANE
I love that they sounded annoyed or tired the second time they said "Divorced, beheaded, died, etc"
Jesus loves you! ♡
@@remsour I hope he doesn't
My good friend introduced me to this play. AND I'VE LOVED IT EVER SCINCE!
Sorry correction it's a musical not a play
I luv Anne of cleves' verses. So sassy!! 😍😍😍😘😘😘
ja.
Jaa~
Yall are queens. With or without a crown
Thx I really appreciate you
I have been listening to this for months now, and I just realised today that the Jane Seymour's line: "you suddenly see more" is referencing The little shop of Horror's song Suddenly Seymour - which is the ultimate evidence that Toby Marlow und Lucy Moss were the typical theatre kids who know all the musicals and I wish I could be their friend....
Just saw this on Saturday and I’ve never been more obsessed with a musical since wicked
Doing this song in dance, very complex but love it!
When you invent a time machine... the only logical response is to capture historical celebrities and make a musical.
sad, it seems like we can only time travel to the future.
My parents thinking I’m asleep at 01:00 AM
But in reality I’m listening to SIX
Same I don't fall asleep until almost four am
i just listen to it 24/7... i never sleep :)
@@wisequail7600 lol
@@wisequail7600 Good one.
same!!!
You had me going for a second there I clicked thinking it was gonna be the OBCR
Watching this live is absolutely jaw dropping especially this song literally chills
Best. Musical. Ever.
I was there yesterday in munich and i LOVED YOU you were amazing!!!! Definetly can recommend it to EVRYONE in this world to check yall out
Saw it back in December, and I absolutely loved it.
I’m obsessed with this song!!! I’ve listened to it like 30 times in the last six hours
Why is this a bop?
Because it’s a musical soundtrack
This is probably gonna be my favorite musical forever.
K HOWARD IS HERE AND THE FUNS BEGUN 😉
Katherine Howard!!!! Big fan!! also I'm sorry about all your abuse
😔
Hey queen hru, bruh you was done so dirty your entire life
This show is truly amazing. Saying this as a person who knows musical theater and Broadway musicals. Saw it for my birthday. It’s amazing and funny and only 1 act. I’ve also watched the British cast perform and I thing it one of the very few better American remixes. The Filipina who played Anne Boylin is hilarious and sooooo good.
i've been listening to this non-stop for the past 8 hours
probably even longer
This is my favourite musical I 100% recommend it 👍
This song makes me feel so powerful and confidant
we were learning about the tudors and i searched up this song the exact one i watched in school lol.
these women are incredible! just been to the inverness show and they being so much energy and passion! i loved it thanks lady’s!
what they said: Ex wives
the captions: XYZ
Same
I remember listening to this when quarantine first started. Ahhh memories.
Fun fact: the theatre Camp I just finished has this open share thing. Essentially, the musical ensemble elective (4-6 grade) did this song for their show (but with some lyric changes)
One of the lyric changes I remember:
OG: My sleeves are green but my lipsticks red
Change: my shirt is green but my wig is red
