Hi Mortius! I've only recently stumbled upon your channel and absolutely love the energy and passion you have for music and especially for Six The Musical! Idk if you already know about this but I haven't seen any comments about it yet so I decided to write one myself:
There's this song called "Megasix" at the very end of the show which is as far as I know only performed live and not studio recorded - and I think you would absolutely love it! They even say 'get your phones out you're gonna wanna film this' at the beginning so I believe you should be alright reacting to it here on UA-cam :D
And if you're open to suggestions, my personal favourite performance of this is in a UA-cam video called "six the musical megasix 13/10/19e ( millie, aimie & maiya's final show )" by "westendmusical" :)
Yay! So so glad you were able to go with the live version for this song, it hits so, so much harder than any animation (not that there aren't some good ones, but nothing can compare to the emotion Sam Pauly gives for this performance)
I am here to GET DOWN
Such a queen
Anne of Cleves is called the luckiest of the 6 wives. She actually outlived them all!
The story goes, that when Anne was shipped over from Germany, Henry wanted to do a test that was popular at the time. He dressed as a peasant and went to the room where Anne was. It was said that the people who are destined to be together will recognize each other even in disguise. As you can guess, Anne didn't. She didn't know a lick of english, let alone this fairytale of soulmates, so when some random man came into her room, while she was waiting for the king, she ignored him. That humiliated Henry, lol, he made a big scene of coming back in his usual king attire, which made her realize her mistake and apologize profusely. After that he started slandering her looks and her body, saying that Holbein painted her prettier than she is and deceived him, from where the story of her "not matching the picture" started.
He waited for required 6 months, then, first moment he could, annulled the marriage, gave her a castle and *a lot* of money on the condition Anne couldn't return to Cleves (and tell people of mainland europe of how she was treated) then moved onto her lady in waiting. Anne remained as his close friend and was even called his honorary sister, being only a step under the queen and princesses in the powerscaling. She lived a long life and, honestly, got the best out of her situation
Also i think i just made a fun connection
"Dance so hard that i'm causing a sensation" might be a reference to a story of how she and Katherine were dancing together for days during a new year's party, which was a big deal considering it's was a former queen and a current queen who was her lady in waiting
(Even bigger stretch, but maybe the hounds mentioned at the beginning were in reference to dogs Katherine gifted her)
@@sunnysunsins_4920 weren't one of the pairs of performers of them dating
Yes they were, the kathrine Howard from the cast recording of all you wanna do (Aimie Atkinson) and Anne of Cleves, the one who sang get down in this video (Genesis Lynea, I think that’s how you spell it)
@@Daniel-in3zi that's so cute omg!!!!
Wow! That actually makes what happened to KH THAT MUCH WORSE! she was just living her life… being amicable and kind and trying to handle her situation and HERE WE GO WITH ANOTHER SCANDAL! 😭 poor girl can’t catch a break
Haus of holbein is a feverdream of a song, lmao. On stage they queens are wearing wide ruff collars that have neon lights in them and neon glowing glasses, and the entire dance sequence is hilarious, club dancing while drunk vibes
Holbein wasn't making his paintings prettier. He was just that amazing of a painter, that he got extremely close to his models looking like they did irl, which made him famous and thought after. Henry's hissy fit over Anne's portrait is actually the only time Holbein "embellishing" his models was an issue, and most likely was, again, just Henry throwing a fit to get out of marriage to her
Didn't he throw a fit because he broke into her room disguised as a peasant and she didn't recognize him, so he felt insulted by her reaction and started slandering her after?
@@feistsorcerer2251 yeah pretty much, there was a tradition (originating from french notions of chivalry, fun fact!) about love at first sight, where the suitor would dress as a peasant when meeting the lady, and she would either recognize him or be instinctively drawn to him. anne, not knowing this tradition and being reasonably freaked out by some random guy bursting into her room ignored and pushed him away. henry didn't want to marry her after this, but was forced to go through it for appearances sake. henry got the marriage annulled 7 months later, on the grounds that he didn't consent to be married to her (not like he agreed to the marriage and brought her over to england or anything...)
in fact, according to people who WEREN'T Henry who saw both the portrait and the woman herself, it was a very good likeness indeed
The funny thing about Anne's story is that according to all accounts from the castle staff, Anne looked exactly like her picture
im not surprised, henry was feeling petty when he said "well thats obviously not you, ive been lied to!" which just makes him going to visit her after their divorce as just friends even funnier
fun little fact here: the original west end actresses of Anne of Cleves and Katherine H were actually dating when they were performing in six!!
happy pride gays ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜
WHAT!?! I didn't know that! That's so cute! Happy pride month!!🏳🌈🥳
YESSSSS QUEENS
Honestly not enough people appreciate the 'okay ladies, let's get in reformation' joke
I think the musical does an awesome job in double meaning/play on words: consort/concert, court/court, etc.
As a german its always really fun for me to watch people react to anne of cleve's Songs because a lot of the german lyrics get lost in Translation and go over peoples head XD
Yes! (Fellow German here.) These two songs are such a treat when you understand all the wordplay and how cleve(r) it is :’D
Ja war schön das der Editer die Erklärung für die englischen Zuschauer reingeschnitten hat. Yes nice that the editer explained it for the english watchers.
I'm not german by any means but I did learn it for years and it's so fun honnestly
i grew up around german speakers, and explaining the lyrics to my friends is always fun.
Yeah switching to German for "Das ist gut" to keep the cute/lute rhyme going is one of my favorite parts of Get Down, and the German in Haus of Holbein is also incredible
I prefer most of Get Down from the studio records, but there is always the memory of Anne saying "GeT dOwn yoU dIrTy RaScAl" opera style in the live action version
IIRC, Brittany Mack fron the OG Broadway cast is a trained opera singer, so that became her particular riff for Cleves.
My favorite bit of the Get Down animatic is the frame of Ann B. and Katherine H. at the party stealing the snacks and throwing them into a bag. Beheaded cousins are so fun together.
It's very important to know that Haus of Holbein IMMEDIATELY follows Heart of Stone, so you have Jane singing about how she's dying and leaving her son behind and then . . That
I decided to see SIX without hearing any songs from it beforehand. That tone shift was wild.
In the actual play I think there is a short song in between heart of stone and Holbein
@@itsmxtwist There is an instrumental whil they go get their costumes on
Fun fact about Christina of Denmark: Henry didn't turn her portrait down, he actually made some sort of proposal to her, to which she replied that she'd gladly marry him IF she had had two heads. At least that's how the story goes in Denmark. ;)
Smart woman. Mary of guise also turned down henry.
That's how the story goes in Britain too but I suppose they changed it here to simplify the story.
we all agree that cleves is an icon right?! 🤩
YES. I am obsessed with get down, I feel like a bad bitch when it's on
Henry famously called Anne the "Flanders Mare" and reportedly said "I like her not!" when he saw her and lost it on the guys who set the marriage up.
Anne of Cleaves never married after Henry. Also, he would visit her often, and they would play cards together. It amuses me that he'd have to walk past that portrait in the entrance way when he did pop by, lol
Actually, it wasn't that she didn't choose to, Anne wasn't *able* to get married after Henry due to how marriages were back in the day. Remarrying wasn't legally possible, unless she married Henry again, so having a family was out of the cards for her. From what I read, she did actually try to reconcile with Henry, but obviously he decided to marry Parr instead.
She ended up being called The King's Beloved Sister since she didn't contest the annulment.
21:50 this is an actual rhyme that kids sing in Britain when they're the highest up of their group (climb to the top of a tree? You're queen/king of the castle)
There's a bit right after the song in the stage show where the others are like "uhhh that doesn't sound like a hard life at all!" and Anne of Cleves is like "oh damn you're right... *oh well back to the palace I go!* ✌😎💸"
A perfect grove of fruits trees, Anne of Cleves definitely won in life between all the wives, she didnt die, got money and she became friends with Henry
I think my favorite part of 'Haus of Holbien' is the historical accuracy in the listed beauty treatments- make-up absolutely did contain lead, and lead poisoning does have clear, fragile skin as a symptom. Its such a scathing indictment of the historical damage that an obsession with beauty has caused to women's bodies (and the current, on-going damage in the same pursuit, as well).
Yes, urine was historically an ingredient in yellow dyes- most of which were used on cloth, but some were used on hair. It was cheaper than most of the yellow herbal dyes- the best yellow herb dye was saffron, which is the most expensive plant/flavoring herb to this day.
I'm looking forward to 'All You Wanna Do,' and if no one has warned you about putting up an adult content warning for that song yet, I'm doing so now. I've got a recommendation for you for that song- there's an amazingly well edited animated video (using Disney and non-Disney animated movies for material) for that song. I know that you've probably already seen and recorded for it, so I'm recommending the video "Non/Disney- All You Wanna Do (Rated 15+)" by 2009JoRose. It does an amazing job of highlighting the... historically disturbing events that are hidden under the peppy beat of that song.
Mortius you're totally right about her not being in it to win the contest
The conversation that directly follows this song
Cleves: So yeahhh it was really heartbreaking T_T
Aragon: Um... that doesn't sound difficult at all
Cleves: Yeah you're right... guess I probably won't win then...
Cleves: Oh well...back to the palace! *strikes a cool pose*
10:00 yes, that was a thing, not only did they use urine... They used *aged* urine
Although since the ammonia in urine isn't super strong, it tended to turn your hair more of an orange colour
If you want Diagetics, check out The Guy Who Doesn't Like Musicals by Starkid - the concept is based the world suddenly turning into a musical, and those who aren't 'part of it' are confused as to why everyone else knows the lyrics and choreography
That was the first thing that came to mind when diagetics was being explained.
Ngl I LOVE her sassy attitude. Like the rest of them are thunder dome'ing about how bad they had it and she's just like "nah, I rock, I'm the coolest and the hottest and the sexiest and the richest and I don't care about that man except to laugh at him." We stan a queen
In the live performance, for the 'slowed down' portion the actress pulls out a full opera style hold on the words
Haus of Holbien is one of my favorites in this soundtrack! It's funny, lively, catchy! The whole theater turned into a rave when this song was sung when I went to go see it live in March.
I will 100% have a library with a secret spinning bookshelf section. with huge windows and lots of plants (that absorb moisture and not the other way around to keep the books safe)
What's hilarious is King Henry didn't say Holbien drew her better than she was. He said that Holbien did in fact draw her true to life and was accurate in his portrait of her. Henry was using the 'she's ugly' excuse cause he was butthurt. He was big on romantic stories of the girl's true love dressing as a beggar and she recognizes him anyway and he tried to do that with Anne of Cleves. Who 1, didn't grow up with those stories, 2 had never met him before, and 3, her maids did not warn her he was doing this. So Princess Anne was in her room and this fat old smelly man barged into the room, dressed like a peasant, and just grabbed her and started kissing her. So, reasonably, she pulled away in disgust. Usually, people pretended they weren't disgusted by him cause they knew who he was, but this showed him how she truly saw him as he met her without introduction and she didn't know it was the King and so she didn't pretend. It was the classic toxic guy who hits on a girl and when she rejects him he goes 'well you're fat and ugly anyway' cause he's mad he got rejected. So while he put down her looks, he never said Holbien painted her incorrectly and said the portrait was accurate. Henry was just bitter that she didn't fawn over him upon their first meeting.
Corsets weren’t used in this time. They used stays which weren’t bad for you. In fact they really helped with posture. A lot of people with connectivity issues will use types of stays. (They’re not called that now.)
I mean, in general, corsets and stays weren't bad for you. The only reason they would be bad is if they were made too small for the person
Corsets aren't bad either when worn normally, tightlacing wasn't actually super common.
I was lucky enough to catch the musical while it was on stage in Canada and Haus of Holbein was WILD fkdslfjgds
One of my favorite bits that wasn't in these videos is all the other girls call her out on how none of what happened to her is really THAT bad (especially in comparison) and Anne says something along the lines of "Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. Oh well, back to my castle then."
Gigi drew Anne of Cleves with so much gremlin energy and I am here for all of it!
I really love get down, it's such a woman overpowering song! Sometimes I just listen to it for extra confidence
She maintained good relationships with both of Henry’s daughters, was said to be “fair of face”, and was known to be kind and generous to her staff. The original cool aunt.
RICH!! cool aunt! 😆😆 the one that can't be bothered to have kids so she just spoils her nieces and nephews rotten!
Fun fact: panic spelled with a k is the way you spell panic in Danish (which goes well with the former princess they showed)
And how you write it in German....because Anna von Cleve who is a Wiener Schnitzel :)
@@kurikuri6683 yes of course😊😂 I only had one year of German so I’m pretty bad at it😂
I don't know if there is any outro to this, but yeah, she tosses in the towel on the comp right after this before they start Kate Howard's intro piece, which is so deceptively funny.
anna of cleves is an icon fr
Definitely an art studio aesthetically placed in a garden, though if it had a Secret Library then I'm not complaining 😅 (I get to have It All, it's My Castle 🙃)
So, fun fact: in the show itself, when she says the line ‘as he takes my fur, as you were’ It’s a lot longer of a pause between where the gasp goes and she actually takes her jacket off. Fun all around
How am I supposed to watch this video and dance at the same time
The Thing about Anna of Cleeves was that Henry's Marriage to her was also meant to solidify some german ties. If he had just beheaded her or even _just_ divorced her, it could have caused an international scandal. So he complimented her out the Door gave her a huge cash sum and said "Pretty plese don't tell your Relatives I was mean to you, 'mkay?"
“I’m the queen of the castle, get down you dirty rascal.”
The way it was said sounds like that tune kids do to tease “Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh you can’t catch me!”
So, in the play the very next spoken lines after Get Down are one of the other wives going "...wait, that didn't suck at all, your life was fine?", to which Anne replies: "Oh well, back to the castle! :D"
So yeah, she *absolutely* knows in-universe that she isn't winning the competition, she literally just wanted to brag.
I was honestly expecting Haus of Holbein to become the new favorite for you, but it is definitely a pleasant surprise that Get Down is the actual potential new favorite; speaking out of bias since it's my favorite song from the performance
Anne of Cleves is amazing.
I always wanted the Libary Belle had in Beatuy & the Beast since a kid 😂
23:00 Ah I thought it was going to be "dramatization"
29:50 In the live performance I saw, they didn't slow down and distort her voice like that. Instead, Anna sang it like it was opera.
I'm still so very charmed by 'ladies, get in Reformation'
I'd want a gigantic garden with a swing. It must have a swing. And deers.
I'd have the perfect library hidden behind a secret door. It would have giant windows allowing a ton of natural light to flood the room. It would also have multiple floors you accessed by spiral staircase. There would be lush, comfy couches, armchairs, and other seating allowing for perfect relaxation.
Alr I have a random question. In Get Down, when they remove Anna’s costume does she stay like that for the rest of the musical or do they put it back on at some point?
She puts it back on during first verse of "All you wanna do", while focus is on Katherine
@@sunnysunsins_4920Ooooh ty!
Whaaat, so no animatic for All you wanna do? :(
That's a shame, that song has some of the coolest animatics, in my opinion.
That beeing said, Anne of Cleves has to be my favorite of the wives xD
While all the others are fighting over who had it worse, she's aparantly just here to have a good time xD
(Only my opinion) Yes, All you wanna do animatics are great, but the live version of Samantha Pauly is just on another level
Mason's little comment on the German used in the song got me good lol
"I still don't know what's going on btw" oh sweety you got brought in into the madness of this song with no context I'm so sorry lol
"But the music is good!" ~ Mason, 2024
Henry took care of Cleves in order to keep the alliances happy.
For your Patreon I recommend watching the live version of 'Get Down' with Brittany Mack. It's the American version and Mack brings so much energy to the performance
I’ve always wanted a castle for one. But I need a huge library. I have so many books and I keep buying more 😂❤
Absolute love the nine/nein lyrics XD
Castle Dream Room: an indoor/outdoor sunroom x reading room x catio. Lots of huge windows, plants and really comfy lounges with cat highways along the walls and ceiling. Accessed only by secret passages.
I love the use of the old kids rhyme/song used in this song it honestly makes me love this song so much more and gives me some nostalgia from being a kid and saying this on the playground
You gotta love the use of Greensleeves in the first song, as the myth is that Henry wrote the poem/song for Anne Boylen.
as an ex-music student, i really enjoyed your explanation of diegetic vs non-diegetic! but i still wanted to point out that this whole show is actually diegetic as well, since it's posed as a concert. The whole gimmick (which, fair if you've forgotten. as you said, its been a while!) is that they're singing to compete to be the leader of the band, they might be describing moments but its always just in singing, not recreating a scene. can't wait to see your reaction to all you wanna do, its my favorite :)
Ok but with the whole diagetic and non diagetic explanation made me really want Mortius to watch The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals (tho idk if it would fit the channel vibes) haha
The way I giggled at your mention of Hazbin because it’s my theater kid hyper fixation at the moment. I’m not over it
Mortius: hOlBEeean
Me: it’s Holbein! Hole-BAI-n! 😅
HAHA!! Love the intro Mortius, it made me laugh, thank you so much for listening to us and always going above and beyond (and props to your editors!!) SOOOO happy to see you're doing the live of All You Wanna Do (I was one of those thousand comments....) thank you so much for your reactions they are always so genuine and interesting
Yes after the Song they talk about how she is out of the race. It is so funny 🤣
RAHHH SCREAMING
It always makes my day when Mortius posts
In my castle I would choose the ornate ballroom. Crystal chandeliers, giant windows, all the decorations. And acoustically setup so the music from the stage is heard throughout without needing to be super loud. And the long tables along a wall for all the tiny, delicious foods.
Amusingly, in a recent episode of Doctor Who, the Doctor cheekily says "I thought that was non-diegetic". And what I want from my castle is secret passages leading to secret rooms...
Anne of Cleves was actually very amiable about the divorce. She was brought up to be agreeable and so when Henry said he wanted a divorce, she just went with it and didn't kick up a fuss. Over time, Henry and Anne became friends, and he gifted her a palace and allowance when the divorce finalized. She was henceforth known as a "Sister to the King"
You should react to Pattycake Productions "The Villains' Lair." not just because Layne (VoicePlay) is one of the creators but has the greatest Disney villains in it with great songs.
fun fact: wunderbar is also a pun on the wonderbra!!
"we know what are the best inventions are to hold everything up!"
the wonderbra also wasn't a thing in the 1500s of england (obvs), but it was added in to help further the 21st century aspect.
edit for additional info: each of the queens have a pop star inspo or "queenspiration"!
Aragon is inspired by: Beyonce
Boleyn is inspired by: Avril Levigne
Seymour is inspired by: Adele/Sia
Cleves is inspired by: Rihanna/Nicki Minaj
Howard is inspired by: Britney Spears/Ariana Grande
Parr is inspired by: Alicia Keys
Be prepared to listen to Kate Howard's Song, I literally cried as I was listening to her song. It was so powerful!
She did look like her portrait but when she saw Henry she called him old and he felt so butt hurt that he basically said she is uglier than her portrait made it out to be
Urine was actually one of the original ways people obtained bleach to lighten clothes and such.
I have never heard a party rave song and a house of horrors song mix so well together before, but I love the vibe
A good musical that's an example of diegetic music is cabaret. All the songs are performed at the cabaret club. They just happen to be apt to what's happening in the story.
My castle would have scent gardens, a library that has any book I want to read, a music room, and a small dining room for dinner parties of 12 or fewer.
Cozy hobby room/cave. Easiest way to describe what I want in my very hypothetical castle. I want somewhere that I can do my adhd hobbies and be my antisocial self when I don't feel like being around people or don't feel like being a person.
Found you when you started reacting to Six, and can say that I am absolutely enjoying not only you but also the editors' comments.
Castle with the perfect combination library and art studio. But even more so but it’s not a room is secret doors to all over the castle.
I'm starting to realize that I found gigi before epic. Either way her animatics are fire 🔥
the library of alexandria just dropped in my castle with books adding to it as it gets written
Hey Mason, nice of you to catch the German lingo in the song. Hope you watch the other songs, it's a lot of fun 😊
Ooh! I can't wait for All You Wanna Do. I hope you fo the intro too, it gives Anna of Cleves some sass of, "oh well, I guess it wasn't bad for me after all 😉"
And K. Howard sass on the other queens before her big number. The first time me watching a live version was with Samantha Pauly and yes, she is great
Anne got a good deal mainly because she didn't make the "mistake" that Catherine made and didn't kick up a fuss to fight against Henry divorcing her. And she wasn't around long enough for them to reasonably make a claim that she'd slept around with a bunch of the guys in the court, so they couldn't go that way. Also, she wrote to her brother the Duke of Cleves and made sure he didn't turn the divorce into an international incident, and her reward for doing all this was the king making her his honorary sister, giving her a sizable pension and several big manors (including Hever Castle, which used to belong to the Boleyns, hehehe). They even struck up something of a friendship, or at least the kind of friendship one can have with a king.
Get Down is easily my favourite song in this musical and it was super fun watching you enjoy it so much.
As far as what you said about Anna of Cleves losing the competition: Immediately following the end of Get Down, the rest of the queens point that out to her. She agrees that she probably won’t win, but she shrugs it off and goes, “Oh well - back to the palace!” 😂
Yeah, a library for me too, but one with sliding stairs and hidden doors behind the books
I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction to K Howard's intro - :D one of my favorites in the show, how she just pulls down everyone else...
*Derranged Mortious laughter* is my new favourite caption
I’m so glad you’re reacting to the live all you wanna do, it’s absolutely tragic
My go to for explaining the difference between diagetic and nondiagetic is High School Musical, because you both get nondiagetic songs where the characters who are singing are actually just thinking out loud or having a normal conversation where the musical scoring comes from nowhere, and songs where the characters are actually singing/performing with the music coming from another character on piano, a karaoke machine etc.
Oh that’s a great point! There aren’t a lot of properties that have both, so I will definitely keep that in mind for future explanations :)
Hi Mason! Great to see your comments!
Honestly, regarding the question in the outro, put me down for lots and lots of stained glass windows. I love the aesthetic of stained glass
Today i learned that in the enire Hatchedfield Saga from Starkid Productions, only the first Musical is Diagetic!😅
I love the editor comments along with Mortius is talking 😂about
It gets a bit unclear when you’re watching through animatics, but technically the entirety of this show is diegetic, since it’s framed through the narrative device of the six queens putting on a pop concert 😊
something that i find interesting about six is that the whole musical is diagetic- it starts off with the pretext that the queens have formed a band, and are performing together, which makes the musical feel like a concert in a really interesting way. the lute would be better described as non-anachronistic, in that it actually belongs to the time period anne is singing about :D
25:40 in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, all singing is diagetic, for example!
Definitely a yarn room full of fluffy yarn and a crochet hook for me i got into crochet through my mum and have since turned it into a small business
Hi Mortius! I have been loving musical Mondays so far and Six is amazing. For future Mondays there is this one animated musical show I think you would get a kick out of. It’s a two season Netflix show (with diegetic songs) called Centaurworld that is basically a western animated Isekai. It has great casting with people like Kimiko Glenn as the main character and is overall very enjoyable. It presents itself as one of those over the top goofy kids shows which acts as a mask for the twisted and dark storyline and villain later in the series, but sadly this prevents many people from making it far into the show because they think it is to kiddy. I think you would love the characters and atmosphere though so I recommend checking it out sometime. Some of my favorite songs, btw, are Rainbow Road, Frustration Tears, Breathe in a Bag, The Nowhere King and What if I forget your Face. Have a great night Mortius!
For my castle, a music room/library combo with a comfy window bench. Love your analysis!
If the castle is in present day - the perfect gaming room - something with a huge screen (think the Bat-Computer in the Batman animation from the 90s) or if it's in King Henry's time it would be the perfect library - but also time-bending because I refuse to have a library without my Jane Austin, and she definitely would post-date the time frame...
I think that Anna and Catherine Parr had it better than all the other's
I mean...duh
I love watching Mortius's raw footage on patreon, absorbing it, then watching the UA-cam edits to see what Mason/"new editor"(still don't have their name memorized yet...sorry) add to the video
Anna is such a gem in the musical. xD Only in the competition to brag and she does it in style.
