Fun fact: the fourth wife, Anna, actually had a decently happy ending. Her and Henry weren't happy, but they got divorced, and they became friends. She got a castle and all while being treated like the King's sister.
She actually got a 'choice' (a choice as in she had 2 bad options and she got to pick what she found the least bad) in her marriage when the meeting went wrong with Henry and he got embarrassed. Henry at the time was enamored with fairytales and love at first sight, but Anne/ Anna (both are used) didn't know these stories yet as the new fairytales hadn't been widespread in Germany. Henry entered Anne's chambers with a few friends and with gifts and in disguise before he and Anne were to officially meet. Of course not recognising the King, Anne stayed polite as she presumed these unknown men were royals sent by the king, but she didn't act in love or go into any of the advances of the King, as she didn't know it was him. This of course caused the King to be embarrassed and he soon after started bad-mouthing his soon to be wife (the widespread 'but she isn't as pretty as the portrait'). The King did decide to go through with the marriage, but he ended never consummating the marriage (we know this from inner-circle documents). Henry’s dissatisfaction was well-known and he was already courting Katherine Howard. On 24 June, Anne left court and five days later an official inquiry into the marriage began, ultimately ruling that Anne had not been free to marry because there was no conclusive evidence of the ending of her betrothal to Francis of Lorraine. Anne’s agreement was sought on 6 July. She resisted for several days but gave in when it became clear that Henry was not rejecting the Cleves alliance, just the marriage. It was impossible to resist the will of a king and his government, and to risk the alliance. The marriage was annulled on 11 July. Henry put quite some pressure on Anne to annul the marriage and bribed her with riches and castles if she did agree to the annulment. If she did not agree the alliance would fall, she might have been killed, family fall from grace, no legal power, and so on. In other words her choice was never a choice. Though it is indeed true that the cold agreement coming from Henry's embarrassment did grow out to a friendship that was close to a bond of siblings. On either side there were still some minor resentments most likely, as both referred to each other on several occasion when talking about bad feelings or how they are viewed by society (we know this from court documents).
@@lizvdp8066 honestly, as sad as it was for poor Anna, if it was a choice between getting beheaded and getting paid the equivalent of nearly £3 million/year ($4 million USD) in today's money for life and a few very nice palaces for my silence, I'd gladly take the money.
The castle he gave her was Hever Castle, which was Anne Boleyn’s childhood home (which Henry came to possess after Anne’s father died). Which is either very neat or kind of grim, to gift your fourth wife the empty home of the second wife you had killed.
I’ve heard her referred as Anne and Anna, so which is it? Or both? It’s kinda weird cause my name is Anna lol. But yeah, I’m kinda confused on the name
Actually at my uni it happened, the girl in the drama society whom originally played the role of Anne for our Christmas musical mashup show quit and they recast myself as that role because she was thought to look "unattractive" so in the end for that number a bit of acting and the song 'Get Down' I was in full drag as Anne and it was just great fun especially as my gf played Catherine Parr and she did my makeup as I have no skills in that department.
Okay but I would have LOVED to see this with traditional boyband choreo rather than pop girl - this would have been so funny with some BSB/Nsync/98° moves
It’s a show about 6 wives being mistreated by a terrible husband… Seriously this is fun but is it too much to ask to have something without men being the protagonist(s)?
@@rizatusz8163 I mean, the actual show was all women. Nothing wrong with a group of guys wanting to be queens for six minutes. I personally think some of them absolutely killed it, though if they’d done an actual Broadway run with all guys I might’ve raised my eyebrows
Is it Ironic? By what measure? They are pretty attractive. I'd actually have liked more diversty in the cast to make it more of a direct gender bend. The creators of Six also aimed - and have widely succeeded- in increasing PoC opportunities in their expansion.
Oh my, I’m so thankful that the algorithm blessed me with this masterpiece! This was absolutely amazing. I really want them to perform all the other songs in the album now! Also, the guy playing Anne of Cleves is so cute and charming, wow.
Just doesn't work unless you make incredible changes to the songs. Plus, we really need more good plays and roles for women, not replace the ones we got with men as well :,)
@@midgesherwood2685 Yes, but that was Toby Marlow, one of the show's creators and he performed because it was an emergency. I doubt we'll ever see a msn in Six again
it’s called a voice break i think :) a voice crack being unintentional and kind of embarrassing when speaking or singing, a voice break being completely intentional :) it’s when you quickly flip between different vocal registers
Not only is this empowering this absolutely amazing the vocals are almost fantastic and there is probably no one better to play or sing these characters then these guys fantastic work definitely subscribing

Catherine of Aragon understood the damn assignment 😎
And passed every damn class!
Actually tho
And she passed with flying colours!!!
FFRR
Nah he was the Dame Assignment
The guy playing Catherine of Aragon absolutely slayed it!
Well, she's based on Beyoncé so it makes sense
they all did
Yh he was a bit to much
And so did the guy who portrayed Kate Howard ^^
He really did slayyyyyy🤪
The guy playing Aragon should get an award for this. He's so in-character
he movements are so smooth too
I also like Howard too
Aragon had prepared his whole life for this, he killed this harder then Boleyns executioner killed Boleyn
DAMNNN💀💀
At least he dident kill like Katherines execution (a disaster cause they missed the first time)
I'M YOUR 1,000TH LIKE
YOU CAN THANK ME LATER
@@mag-narwhal i know lmao, that’s why i said boleyn lol

I haven't been as excited for men doing main female roles since cell block tango!! Ahh!!
that was the first version of cell block tango I saw… I was so *f o o k i n g* sad when I found out it was a female song
there is something so sexy about males playing female roles and vice versa

Same with women doing men's roles, absolutely stunning

The guy playing Katherine Howard litterly SLAYED those high notes🤩✨
If this isn’t the most beautifully gay thing I’ve seen
Yes.
thats what i was thinking!!!
RIGHT. (Sorry for the Caps I’m just really excited right now)
literally

@@BrockMDol for real! It’s no surprise she wasn’t salty. Did you know she came and bowed to Katherine Howard after she became queen?
The castle he gave her was Hever Castle, which was Anne Boleyn’s childhood home (which Henry came to possess after Anne’s father died). Which is either very neat or kind of grim, to gift your fourth wife the empty home of the second wife you had killed.
Also IIRC she died LAST. As in she even outlived the last wife who lived about 2 years after Henry died. All in all she got the GOOD end of the stick.
When Aragon pulled out the glasses I-this was perfect.
Had to go back to look for when the guy had the chance to put the damn thing on, absolutely shameless and I love it
@@jeanetten.s.8557 Right, I was like "WHEN HE DID GET THOSE?!"
the catherine’s nailed this!!! also i most definitely hear and feel the british through the screen
Anna of Cleaves is absolutely killing it I love him
@cdmmyeah xD I'm not into people like that hun, I'm ace. Annas just my favorite, calm yourself. I'm just giving him a compliment.
@cdmmyeah don’t assume that- he had a really good performance.
@cdmmyeah why so rude?
I’ve heard her referred as Anne and Anna, so which is it? Or both? It’s kinda weird cause my name is Anna lol. But yeah, I’m kinda confused on the name
@@imbored457 it’s both, her English name is Anne of Cleves, her German name is Anna von Kleves
Aragon and Howard stepped it up a whole new level
4:08 dang it, Catherine Parr, that entrance was ✨ *dramatic* ✨
right? that cracked me up
LMAO
I would pay so much money to see these performers in drag doing the whole show. I'm talking a LOT of money
Holy shit I didn't even think of that. IMAGINE DRAG VERSIONS OF THE COSTUMES BYE ID GLADLY GO BROKE 👏💅

@@aaronbrown7217 right so where can I watch this
THIS IS INCREDIBLE 🤩🤩🤩 I know it’s called “Roles we’ll never play” but I really wanna watch this is full now.
Me too xx
Admit it. This was all Aragon's idea simply because he wanted to do the damn thing and post it.
Okay but I would have LOVED to see this with traditional boyband choreo rather than pop girl - this would have been so funny with some BSB/Nsync/98° moves
I think they're copying the choreo from the show itself cause they're trying to play it like they actually got the parts
It’s a show about 6 wives being mistreated by a terrible husband…
Seriously this is fun but is it too much to ask to have something without men being the protagonist(s)?
@@rizatusz8163 I agree, I think this is fine but it would of been distasteful to cast men for the real one
@@rizatusz8163 I agree 100 percent, this is supposed to be empowering for women makes no sense having men as the queens🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Am I the only one that noticed the irony of the prettiest typical white male pretty boy being cast as Anne of Cleves just being... perfect?
Really? I think Howard is the most 'typical' pretty
@@NageelaMom idk Anna seems more like your typical British pretty boy
Edit: but I do agree with you too!!

@@Firegen1 It's ironic because Anne of Cleves is known for being rejected for being not as pretty as her picture
Yes!
The guy playing K Howard bodied
Yessir!
The guy who played Jane Seymour has a lovely voice!!
Female cast: girl power!
Male cast: so dramatic...
Gay dramatics 😌💅🏻

whoever played k howard did amazing
They did this beautifully. Lol. Love their performance!! Good job guys!
I loved it. Just a little distracted by Jane staring directly into the camera.
everyone was
Only a problem because no one else did it. Seems out of place.
Oh my, I’m so thankful that the algorithm blessed me with this masterpiece! This was absolutely amazing. I really want them to perform all the other songs in the album now! Also, the guy playing Anne of Cleves is so cute and charming, wow.
Hannah Bayles should react to this. Please. I feel she would love it.
Yes!
Is it bad that I would pay good money to see a full production of Six with this cast..? 😳
I’ll split the cost with you!!!!
Same!!
Let’s pay to produce it
K Howard was honestly so amazing at singing. Sick vocal control
I wish we could see gender reversed musicals , ESPECIALLY this one
Have you seen the Cell Block Tango one from Chicago? Its AMAZING
hamilton would be amazing! Heathers! all that sass, yes please!
Just doesn't work unless you make incredible changes to the songs. Plus, we really need more good plays and roles for women, not replace the ones we got with men as well :,)
I've seen six had a male Parr....

Howard absolutely killed it. My favorite in the stage show and in this
WHOA! This has been up 2 months before I found it? Amazing... brilliant.. absolutely 100% NAILED IT!
The man who played Anne of Cleves did it sooo welll! Man I’m amazed!
How did it take two months for me to find this? I love the name of the channel! It speaks to me on so many levels
2:03 😳
Um...
YES! That voice crack was amazing! I love it when singers can do that and it sounds good!
it’s called a voice break i think :) a voice crack being unintentional and kind of embarrassing when speaking or singing, a voice break being completely intentional :) it’s when you quickly flip between different vocal registers
Loved it! The title “Roles we’ll never get to play” reminds me of myself wanting to play a male role in another musical I adore 😅
me and the boys on the saturday night:
Love it, especially Jane Seymour!! This reminds me of that all-male Hercules medley video
Not only is this empowering this absolutely amazing the vocals are almost fantastic and there is probably no one better to play or sing these characters then these guys fantastic work definitely subscribing
Honestly I would definetly watch it If there would be a gender swaped Version as a Special show! You guys did so well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
2:15 the way parr looked at howard i-
4:56 gave me chills. It was so good
I don’t think the guy with the white pants could have gotten tighter pants if he tried
I've always dreamed of six making a teenage male cast of six for like two months, me auditioning, getting chosen, and playing all six queens lol
Catherine of Aragon!!! Wow!
Love this. The guy doing K Howard was great!
When Catherine of Aragon walked out with the glasses I screamed
Kane of Aragon, Aidan Boleyn, James Seymour, Adam of Cleaves, Kane Howard, Cane Parr.
howard’s singer hit unreasonably hard for me, no clue why but he’s rocking this, they all are
personal faves are seymour and parr. They were both amazing and I love how Parr is just like, "I survived bitches" aura and i love it ?!
Ohmygosh I can see the costumes on them already😍
Randomly encountered this in my timelines THIS IS AMAZING!! I NEVER KNOW I NEEDED THIS!!
Christ on a cracker, I had chills for that entire performance! Those harmonies, the notes, everything was just sublimely performed. Well done gents!
K. Howard did it great :)
Most fabulous thing I have seen
why is this so good! male version is just as good as the og, your voices are godlike, keep doing things like this! supporting you guys.
Good lord, this was soo very good! Thank you so much for this!
Never say never. This show would be absolutely INCREDIBLE as a drag show
Son increíbles chicos. Super talentosos. Gracias por compartir esa belleza con el mundo 😍
I want to watch the whole musical with them omg
This is so good!!! And especially the Survived in the beginning was iconic!
they all killed it! Now I wanna see the full musical from them ✨✨
why is no one talking about how awesome the guy playing K Howard was!!
i’d pay good money to see a full version of this. you guys killed it!!
Oh my god they killed this!
This is the best thing to come up in my recommended all day
YALL KILLED IT OMG HOW WAS THAT LITERALLY SO GOOD 😫🖐
I like the guy who playing K. Howard! Hos voice is fantastic
everyone talkin about aragon but i wanna shine down on howard, especially for the beginning part cause omg that growl?? TOP👏TIER👏
My heart is so full and happy.
I love the confidence
i have the vibes that the person that played jane seymour, watched the musical 42 times and has been waiting his whole life.
I haven’t watched six yet but now I need this in full drag… in the meantime, brb I’m going to listen to the cast album
The dude on Anne Bolynne is absolutely killing it.
Omg i NEEEED to see the whole musical with them!! 🤩🤩🤩

PS Aragon could have done this by himself omho 👀
They are all PHENOMENAL! I love it!
I'm legit jealous. This men are closer to being queens than I ever will be.
Pretty sure they already ARE queens 👸!
Jane’s voice is so good (and so are the rest of them!!)
They absolutely killed this! Now they just need the costumes! ❤️
This could be just a lobby in any university theatre department 😅
This was outstanding...well done, gents! ❤️ Can't wait to see more!
Obsessed 🥰🥰
This is extremely well done and AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic! I want the rest of the album now. I half expected the remix version with ‘Six’ coming in at the end.
They absolutely slayed this omg!
I'm in love guys
How utterly fabulous.
Wow, that is sooo amazing! 😃 I'm impressed!!
Damn Jane Seymore did not have to go that hard
