As a brit, we were only told the ryme "Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived" and nothing else about the wife's king henry 8th had and then told about the part where he established the church of england. this musical put me on track to learn the achual lifes of these women. i highly recormend watching the whole thing!
The live performance for "All You Wanna Do" is so much heartbreaking. You can SEE and hear how much she breaks down at the end as she realizes that every significant man in her life has only ever used her body and nothing else. She's nothing but a body to them and it's hurts so much.
If you want your heart broken, watch the live recording of All You Wanna Do. It's a camera recording, yes, but the choreography and extra character in the singing makes it worth it (the stage performances are more focused on character whereas the studio performances are more focused on singing the proper notes)
Sam Pauly's live verion is one of those things that I am glad I heard. But never need to hear again as the end is just to raw and to real. I don't need to cry like that again
Other fun fact, at some point her legacy - in the US at least - got entangled with Resurrection Mary from Illinois, so that's part of why people over here assume she's some kind of ghost-teenager. I imagine the Isles reputation is more... true to life. Given all the... persecutory immolation
The most context you should get is that SIX revolves around the six wives of King Henry VIII. The rest of the context you should 100% get from the actual musical ^^ also, if you can, try to remember the color/hairstyle coding between the animatics. Edit: confused Henry VIII with one of my OCs, Nexa XIII, no there were not 13 King Henry's 💀
My dad said six is barely a musical more like a concert. If you've ever seen the musical live, you know that they barely act out the actual thing that happened. They sing it! I don't mind though lol. I love I don't need your love with a passion. All you wanna do is great too!
It's a story told through a series of songs so it's still a musical, just not a traditional musical. Each of the queens styles are based on real life pop stars, so that may be why he gets more of a concert vibe from it.
I’m pretty sure the concept is that it’s a musical that is depicting a concert. Idk if that makes sense but I definitely watched something with the cast saying it’s like if you’re watching a talent show live kind of thing.
Okay it seems like you didn't look up what Six was meant to be about conceptually but basically there was an English king named Henry VIII who had six wives who met six different fates, usually recalled with the rhyme 'divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived'. Six is these six woman competing over who basically had it worst with Henry. Feel free to look it up there are no spoilers rly since it doesn't esp have a linear plot
Imagine if the six wives of Henry viii, came back to live and are now holding a singing contest to determine who was the best of the wives in a way that also tell us, the viewers, what happened and their perspective.
The songs in Six are criminally catchy! The musical is basically about the six wives of Henry XII, whom is mostly known and reduced to the rhyme "Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.", which details the fates of each of his six wives in order. The live performance by Samantha Pauly for "All You Wanna Do" is absolutely heartbreaking. All the songs, in general, gets much more heartbreaking with the context that they paint the actual lives of the wives of King Henry XII.
scoot in his theater kid era also another good musical is legally blonde, its based on the movie and there's even an official recording mtv did so its the pretty accessible. the guy who didn't like musicals Is another good one, its by team star kid who has all of their musicals on their youtube channel. lastly, heathers (also based on the movie) is a good musical but there's only bootleg recordings of it and the story can get hard to follow because there's a lot of dialogue in-between tracks so you miss out on some story with the soundtrack.
Scoot Six is basically about Henry the 8th (ruler of englands) SIX wives and this isnt rlly a spoiler because like hamilton your sorta supposed to have a vague idea of the history but he had 6 wives, the song "ex-wives" is the first song and kinda gives a little intro but ill also do an explanation down below, the purpose of the musical was to give a voice and a story to these wives who had unfortunate fates due to Henry as in school us brits tended to focus more on henry with the wives only being a passing thought, hence why the final song "Six" gives a comedic spin on what the wives could have been doing if their lives weren't ended by Henry, its a good play but it might be somewhat confusing if you havent heard the history the 1st was divorced (hence why the song is "no way" to being divorced for many reasons like it being seen as a promise before God) 2nd was beheaded due to political motivations from others in court, her song is called "dont lose your head" which is my fav song, its also more upbeat the 3rd wife was seen as Henry's favourite because she's the only one who gave him a son but she died during childbirth followed by her son years later her song is "Heart of stone" and its a sadder more slow song, the 4th wife was the "get down" song and she was divorced upon first meeting henry because she didnt look like the portraits that she sent henry with henry being recorded saying she looked like a horse in person, the 5th wife "all you wanna do" was beheaded due to her adultery and she was speculated to had only been a teen while henry was 30yrs older the 6th wife, actually survived but only because henry died before her lol and her song is "i dont need your love"
I HiGHLY recommend watching the performance of “All you Wanna Do” by Samantha P Either on stream or not It is a phone recording but is SO worth it if you like the song.
I love this musical. Was surprised don't lose ur head wasn't one of the best because it's my favorite. I don't know if you've seen it but since you're listening to musicals i'd suggest the greatest show or ride the cyclone (Preferably RTC.) I love ride the cyclone and not many people react to It even though the songs are kind of fun. Just a suggestion :)
You should react to 'Epic: The Musical'. It's not an on stage musical, just a musical project by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, but it's totally worth it. It follows Odysseus adventures to try to go back home after the Trojan War, depicted in 'The Odyssey' by Homer (greek mythology, in other words). There are animatics to help you picture things better. The musical is divided by sagas: The Troy saga, The Cyclops saga, The Ocean saga, The Circe saga, The Underworld saga and the most recent one, The Thunder saga, the start of act 2 (make sure you listen to the songs in order). They all follow the same story (Odysseus journey to go back home, as I said), and every saga has from 4 to 5 songs. It's really interesting and I'll like you to give it a chance. Love your content btw, I love Six: The Musical and since you are reacting to musicals I expected you to react to Six. Should give 'Heathers: The Musical' a chance too now that you are on your musical theatre era ❤.
tl:dr six is a musical thats formatted like a concert! its about henry the viii's 6 wives in modern times forming a band! the whole musical is about finding who will be the lead! and if you wanna listen to a song that kinda explains it all, listen to ex-wives! it gives pretty much all the info you'd need before getting into everything, as it is the first song in the musical!
I'm just clutching my phone rn because he wanted to know what was up with the "pfp/portrait" and then during an instrumental sectional they show it in simple drawings and direct explanations
I love that you are reacting to musicals!!!! They are so good and going to one live is an experience. Six and Hamilton are amazing. I gotta say I really like Hairspray and watched it live in San Antonio..best night of my life❤ thank you for the reactions!!!!!!
The songs are kinda the whole musical as its performed like a concert so i think you should just watch it, it’s really short too. All the context is in the first song I dont think its been filmed properly but theres plenty of slime tutorials somewhere (bootlegs)
It's about king henry VIII and his six wives!! Basically it's meant to be them telling their stories through these songs. That's rlly all I can say without spoilers. Unfortunately, there's no full professional film of the show (as of now at least), so if you want to watch it it's gotta be through bootleg or in person
The characters are color coded. Green is Anne Boleyn, the women Henry the 8th left Catherine of Aragon the woman in this song. There's no real plot, just all 6 wives comparing their stories
OK so. Quick summary about SIX is, as others have said, it's the 6 (ex) wives of Henry VIII. And they're competing to see had to deal with the worst shit from him. The rhyme to remember the order is 'divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded survived'. The first song you reacted to "Get Down" is about Anna of Cleves (the second 'divorced' in that rhyme). The 'you said that I tricked you, that I didn't look like my profile picture' is cause Henry claimed that she well, was uglier than her painting. The second song "No Way" is for his first wife Catherine of Aragon(and the first 'divorced' in the rhyme). It's about Henry wanting to divorce her for Anne Boleyn (his second wife), which naturally she does not want. VERY IMPORTANT CONTEXT is that, at this time, divorce was literally not a thing. He straight up founded the Church of England to be able to divorce her. The third song "All You Wanna Do" is about Catherine Howard (the second "died" in the rhyme). The song is uh. About her life. And basically being used and abused by every man in her life. For the record when she died she was around 17-19. For some perspective (: Also while the song said that Henry Mannox(the first man, the music teacher) was in his 20's, we don;t know his actual age and some think he may have even been in his 30's. And no. creeping on a 13 year old was sleazy even back then.
It's the Six wives of Henry the 8th of England - Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. The first song, Get Down, is his 4th wife, Anne of Cleves, he divorced her because he offered marriage after seeing a painting of her (she was from Germany) but she apparently didn't live up to her image in person - it could have been other things, who knows. Either ways, she got a hefty divorce agreement, got her own palace, and still got to hang around at court. Pretty good deal. No Way is about his First Wife, Catherine of Aragorn. They were married for like 20 years, but couldn't give him a male heir, and he kept sleeping around anyway, so eventually he literally broke England from the Catholic Church when the Pope wouldn't allow him a divorce, started a whole new religion in England, just so he could drop her and marry his second wife, Anne Boleyn (Her song is Don't Lose Ur Head). The third song is his 5th wife, Kathryn Howard. She was really young, like 17/18, and he was like 50 by the time they got married. She had been allegedly abused by men from a pretty early age, as cited in the song. And she was beheaded due to infidelity at the age of 19, the trial also bringing up her apparently lying about about her virginity before marrying Henry. Who knows, she wasn't exactly allowed to plead her case very well and Henry was a hot head.
You gotta do All You Wanna Do live performance by Sam Pauly, it's the American version and it's my favorite performance. She brings something extra and special to the emotions of it. Her story is tragic. Her outfit is amazing. the dancing is great 🤩 Trust me imo the video and version you listened to doesn't do the song justice.
It’s fun to recognize that each Queen has a pop princess inspirations. Catherine A - Beyonce, JLo, Jennifer H Anne B- Avril, Miley, Lily Allen Jane S- Adele, Sia, Celine Anne C- Nikki M, Rhianna Katherine H- Brittney, Ariana Catherine P- Alicia and Emeli S Catherine Parr is my personal fav. But the show made me cry both times I saw it.
If you had to pick a wife that "won" being married to H8, the winner would have 100% been Anne of Cleves (first song) H8 said she didn't look like her portrait and was "ugly" but he needed an alliance with her brother, so he reluctantly married her. They were married for 6 months but the marriage was unconsummated (they didn't bone) and she happily agreed to an annulment. H8 gave her tons of cash, land, and castles for not making ending the marriage difficult and called her his "beloved sister". She basically lived a life of extreme freedom and privilege for the rest of her days. She never married and seemingly had no interest in marrying again or getting back together with H8 even after his marriages to his other wives failed.
Catherine of Aragon (second song) was H8 first wife. She was engaged to H8's older brother and they were briefly married (unconsummated) before the brother died. H8 was enthralled with Catherine who was a few years older than him and he jumped at the chance to marry her. They actually did have a son early in their marriage but the baby died when he was a few weeks old. After that it was miscarriage after miscarriage and stillbirth after stillbirth, Mary was their only living child. After 20 years of marriage H8 was extremely worried about not having a male heir and another woman had caught his eye. He asked Catherine for an annulment saying that since she was married to his brother their marriage wasn't legal. Since an annulment would make Mary illegitimate Catherine firmly refused. H8 then went to the pope to ask for the marriage to be annulled. The pope had family connections to Catherine and firmly refused. H8 was extremely upset because as the king he was not accustomed to being told no, in a fit of rage he created the Church of England and broke away from the Catholic church. He divorced Catherine and sent he back to her family in Spain. Until her death she maintained that she was H8's legal wife and that he did not have any legal or moral rights to usurp her.
Catherine Howard (third song) literally had the most depressing life of all of H8's wives. She was actually H8's second wife's cousin and was ignored, neglected, and taken advantage of her entire childhood. She became a lady in waiting to Anne of Cleaves (H8's 4th wife) and was generally seen as adorable and flirty by everyone, mostly because she was literally a teenager. After H8 annulled his marriage to Anne he married Cat Howard. She was *young* around 16/17 to H8's almost 50 and was in no way prepared to be queen. The marriage only lasted 2 years before she was accused of possibly cheating on H8 with Thomas Culpeper. She confessed to having been with Francis Dereham before H8, and claimed it was nonconsensual. She was arrested and Parliament made a law saying it was "treason, and punishable by death, for a queen consort to fail to disclose her sexual history to the king within 20 days of their marriage, or to incite someone to commit adultery with her." She was not given a trial and was beheaded at the age of 18/19, both Dereham and Culpeper were also executed. There was a story that Queen Elizabeth 1, H8's daughter, at age 9/10 saw Cat Howard dragged away kicking and screaming and was so traumatized she vowed never to marry.
Six is great all u wanna do is about Katherine Howard, the 5th wife of Henry the VII king of England. her whole life she was trying to find lover but they would all use her. Henry found out about her and Thomas and beheaded at the age of 17 (we think) she was so young she didn’t deserve it!
you need to react to the preformances because the recoding is made so sound like a normal pop song bc thats the concept but the live performances are sooo much better because they tell the story of each queen. highly recommend
If you plan on listening more and want to know more on exactly what's going on and what it's about, I recommend looking at the Ex-Wives song in the musical ! It's very good and gives you more context to the story.
Look up the wives of Henry the 8th. King of England who basically married 6 women and killed 2 of them. "Divorced, beheaded, died. divorced, beheaded, survived" goes the rhyme. The whole musical focuses on the stories of the different wives. It's actually quite good, and if you like the music I highly recommend seeing the actual stage play. I watched it on TH-cam after some digging where I found a recording that was decent.
since youre reacting to musicals, maybe you could react to some starkid musicals one of these days. They make mostly comedy musicals and have a pretty large fanbase + have made a lot of parodies, i think youd enjoy it
In British schools we learned a rhyme to remember the 6 wives and I think every Brit knows it! “Divorced, Beheaded, and Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. I’m King Henry VIII I’ve had 6 sorry wives, some may say I’ve ruined their lives”
The context is henry the 8th six wives are competing/arguing on who had it worse with him through song (remember the colors of each wife as it’ll help you keep track on who is who) Of course the actual musical has more plot and story to it besides the songs itself. I recommend you watch the full thing as it is free on TH-cam
Love to see more musical reactions 😊 I recommend Hadestown! It’s based on greek mythology and has a strong jazz influence to its music. You’ll love it.
please do more six and PLEASEEEEE revisit "all you wanna do's" live recording. Yes its not super high quality but theatre people are suuuper used to bootleg uploads and Its so worth it. You can see all the real emotion and incredible performance from the Broadway version and I Highly recommend it to really hear the song in a more powerful way. The soundtrack recording while good and still heartbreaking doesn't come close to seeing the live version. also recommend don't "lose your head" which is sung by the second wife and "ex wives" which is the introductory song that plays in the beginning.
If you’re gonna listen to an album version you gotta listen to the live album. This album was made before the OG tour/West end cast came to be and the entire vibe changed
I need to know who the hell said All You Wanna Do is her 'singing about her crushes' why would you LIE omfg?? Especially to someone who might not even watch it to know the true context, absolutely insane behavior
I gotta keep in mind that he doesn’t know that poor girl was used and sexually abused by men in her life just to be blamed for it to the point of being beheaded. While still a teenager. Although girls being blamed for being raped (and the consequences a girl faced for it) were much more extreme than it is today in the western world.
Since ur enjoying the musicals a lot I would love to see u react to Heathers, specially candy store seventeen and meant to be yours because they all have very different vibes to what you’ve seen so far
I definitely suggest finding live verisons of the songs especially All you wanna do!! But yeah I’d say watching the songs in order. This musical is abt Henry the 8th who was the king of England and these musicals tells the story of his six wives from the perspective
Yeah, Anna of Cleves (which the English of the time changed to Anne because Anna was "too foreign" for them) was a German sister of a Duke that was given to Henry VIII after his wife Jane Seymour died due to a post-partem infection after their son was born. Henry saw the painting of her by Hans Holbein and was smitten, but then he didn't like how she reacted to him when he barged into her rooms wearing a costume before she'd actually met him (which wasn't helped by the fact that she neither understood or spoke English, so she was horrified and confused), so he told everyone that he was against marrying her because she was uglier than her portrait portrayed. He had to go through the marriage to keep her brother the Duke happy. What was good luck for her was that she and Henry came to an arrangement. She agreed to an annulment and smoothed things over with her brother in a letter, while Henry gave her a massive settlement and entitled her to the title "the King's Beloved Sister". Anna then proceeded to spend the rest of her life doing pretty much whatever she liked, living it up in the castles Henry gave her in gratitude for her being so cool about losing the marriage, including Richmond Palace and Hever Castle, the latter being the former home of the Boleyn family that was made extinct after the fall of Anne Boleyn and her brother George. She never had to marry, and never did. Sadly, though, she died in her early 40s from what most suspect was cancer.
Nah, Katherine Howard's story is quite sad. It wasn't just a crush. She was groomed and molested by these older men, including Henry VIII. Being naive, she believed almost all were real, but by the end of the song, you can hear her realizing they all used her for her body.
You should react to Andrea Macasaet version of Dont loose your head and you should also react to all you wanna do again but Samantha Pauly's version from Six also the musical is about henrys 6 wifes
@@The_Luhv_The_Fire_Demon FRR sam makes me sob omg especially watching the actual musical and what the choreo from the other queens mean during her song 😭
Basically, Six is about King Henry the 8th's six wives. The first song in the musical gives a good introduction into what you're getting into. (I put a playlist with animatics for every song in order in the Discord suggestions) Depending which animatic you watch for All You Wanna Do, it kinda changes how you interpret the song. I personally like Gigi's animatics, bc I feel like it highlights how she's being taken advantage of. And at the end of the song the flashes are to show her being executed for being caught with Thomas (who is presumed to have r*ped her.) A really tragic story, shes my favorite of this musical 💔
After Anne of Cleaves and Henry’s Divorce they remained good friends. 1:31 Estelle. I high key Got Trust issues from “All you wanna do” Btw That is So messed up. I get about the Times Back then But Still. 4:08 Anne of Cleaves was the one who actually Survived Cause Parr died In child birth and Her child died at like 1 years old and She died at 55, I think.
As a brit, we were only told the ryme "Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived" and nothing else about the wife's king henry 8th had and then told about the part where he established the church of england. this musical put me on track to learn the achual lifes of these women. i highly recormend watching the whole thing!
As an American, the only thing I knew about the 7 of them before hearing about SIX was the rhyme itself and the Anne Boelyn/Church of England drama.
I used some of my knowledge from six for my gcse history test. Particularly the haus of holbein
@@MtVesuvius I mean....she's the only one who "Suffered from actual years of trauma and humiliation" -- according to her. lmao

Haven't got the results yet, it's in August, but fingers crossed 🤞
The live performance for "All You Wanna Do" is so much heartbreaking. You can SEE and hear how much she breaks down at the end as she realizes that every significant man in her life has only ever used her body and nothing else. She's nothing but a body to them and it's hurts so much.

Sam Pauly?@@Innnnnk
@@marigolden_mariposa yeah her! Bro the recording of her singing that song genuinely gives me chills each time I listen to it
Even worse when you realize she died at like 19 or something. She essentially was abused her entire life
FRRRR, the live performance has SO MUCH EMOTION
If you want your heart broken, watch the live recording of All You Wanna Do. It's a camera recording, yes, but the choreography and extra character in the singing makes it worth it (the stage performances are more focused on character whereas the studio performances are more focused on singing the proper notes)
I was about to comment this, there's just so much more emotion and it hurts to hear but that makes the performance 10x better!
Fr especially sam pauly's one

Yes! Especially Samantha Pauly’s
Sam Pauly's live verion is one of those things that I am glad I heard. But never need to hear again as the end is just to raw and to real. I don't need to cry like that again
I find it so funny when people listen to musicals out of order like imagine if he'd picked haus of holbein to start with it would be so confusing 😭
imgine lol that'd be so funny
even in the order Haus is a lovely mess 😂
Fun little fact: the one who sings “No Way” gave birth to the actual Bloody Mary
"Daughters are so easy to forget"
Other fun fact, at some point her legacy - in the US at least - got entangled with Resurrection Mary from Illinois, so that's part of why people over here assume she's some kind of ghost-teenager. I imagine the Isles reputation is more... true to life. Given all the... persecutory immolation
Bloody Mary got chicken pox and you can't hold her?
The most context you should get is that SIX revolves around the six wives of King Henry VIII. The rest of the context you should 100% get from the actual musical ^^ also, if you can, try to remember the color/hairstyle coding between the animatics.

@_lLexa_l yup! he can watch the Tony Awards video since it's higher quality (it's a mix of ex-wives and six I think)
Scoot this is real British history.
ABOUT THIS GUY CALLED HENRY 8TH WHO HAD 6 WIVES IN TUDOR PERIOD.
You honestly should have reacted to the 1st song of the soundtrack. It literally explains who each wife is and what the musical is about.
My dad said six is barely a musical more like a concert. If you've ever seen the musical live, you know that they barely act out the actual thing that happened. They sing it! I don't mind though lol. I love I don't need your love with a passion. All you wanna do is great too!

Such a good explanation
I call it Spice Girls does Tudor history 😉
Oh the best
I always heard it was who had it the _worst_
I only found this out recently but the last song, Katherine Howard was only 18 when she was beheaded. so she was still a child with all the men
If you watch the live performance a MUST WATCH is Samantha Pauly’s version the acting the singing is just so raw and filled with loads of emotions❤

the 1st was divorced (hence why the song is "no way" to being divorced for many reasons like it being seen as a promise before God)
2nd was beheaded due to political motivations from others in court, her song is called "dont lose your head" which is my fav song, its also more upbeat
the 3rd wife was seen as Henry's favourite because she's the only one who gave him a son but she died during childbirth followed by her son years later her song is "Heart of stone" and its a sadder more slow song,
the 4th wife was the "get down" song and she was divorced upon first meeting henry because she didnt look like the portraits that she sent henry with henry being recorded saying she looked like a horse in person,
the 5th wife "all you wanna do" was beheaded due to her adultery and she was speculated to had only been a teen while henry was 30yrs older
the 6th wife, actually survived but only because henry died before her lol and her song is "i dont need your love"

I love that you are reacting to musicals!!!! They are so good and going to one live is an experience. Six and Hamilton are amazing. I gotta say I really like Hairspray and watched it live in San Antonio..best night of my life❤ thank you for the reactions!!!!!!
Six makes me incredibly sad 😭🙏
The songs are kinda the whole musical as its performed like a concert so i think you should just watch it, it’s really short too. All the context is in the first song
I dont think its been filmed properly but theres plenty of slime tutorials somewhere (bootlegs)
You should definitely listen to, "Dont lose your head" and "Ex-wifes" (they're also from 'Six'
It's about king henry VIII and his six wives!! Basically it's meant to be them telling their stories through these songs. That's rlly all I can say without spoilers. Unfortunately, there's no full professional film of the show (as of now at least), so if you want to watch it it's gotta be through bootleg or in person
If you wanna get more context on the history of the girls I recommend listening to “ex wives” it’s the first song from the musical
HELL YEAH SCOOT! We love this!! Six is a great musical 😍 I also really like 'Heathers' and 'Epic', they have some really good animatics
The characters are color coded. Green is Anne Boleyn, the women Henry the 8th left Catherine of Aragon the woman in this song. There's no real plot, just all 6 wives comparing their stories
YEEEEEESS this is my favorite musical!!! Please do more songs!
OK so. Quick summary about SIX is, as others have said, it's the 6 (ex) wives of Henry VIII. And they're competing to see had to deal with the worst shit from him. The rhyme to remember the order is 'divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded survived'.
The first song you reacted to "Get Down" is about Anna of Cleves (the second 'divorced' in that rhyme). The 'you said that I tricked you, that I didn't look like my profile picture' is cause Henry claimed that she well, was uglier than her painting.
The second song "No Way" is for his first wife Catherine of Aragon(and the first 'divorced' in the rhyme). It's about Henry wanting to divorce her for Anne Boleyn (his second wife), which naturally she does not want. VERY IMPORTANT CONTEXT is that, at this time, divorce was literally not a thing. He straight up founded the Church of England to be able to divorce her.
The third song "All You Wanna Do" is about Catherine Howard (the second "died" in the rhyme). The song is uh. About her life. And basically being used and abused by every man in her life. For the record when she died she was around 17-19. For some perspective (: Also while the song said that Henry Mannox(the first man, the music teacher) was in his 20's, we don;t know his actual age and some think he may have even been in his 30's. And no. creeping on a 13 year old was sleazy even back then.
“All you wanna do” and “don’t lose your head” is my fav songs from six
It's the Six wives of Henry the 8th of England - Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. The first song, Get Down, is his 4th wife, Anne of Cleves, he divorced her because he offered marriage after seeing a painting of her (she was from Germany) but she apparently didn't live up to her image in person - it could have been other things, who knows. Either ways, she got a hefty divorce agreement, got her own palace, and still got to hang around at court. Pretty good deal. No Way is about his First Wife, Catherine of Aragorn. They were married for like 20 years, but couldn't give him a male heir, and he kept sleeping around anyway, so eventually he literally broke England from the Catholic Church when the Pope wouldn't allow him a divorce, started a whole new religion in England, just so he could drop her and marry his second wife, Anne Boleyn (Her song is Don't Lose Ur Head). The third song is his 5th wife, Kathryn Howard. She was really young, like 17/18, and he was like 50 by the time they got married. She had been allegedly abused by men from a pretty early age, as cited in the song. And she was beheaded due to infidelity at the age of 19, the trial also bringing up her apparently lying about about her virginity before marrying Henry. Who knows, she wasn't exactly allowed to plead her case very well and Henry was a hot head.
You gotta do All You Wanna Do live performance by Sam Pauly, it's the American version and it's my favorite performance. She brings something extra and special to the emotions of it. Her story is tragic. Her outfit is amazing. the dancing is great 🤩 Trust me
imo the video and version you listened to doesn't do the song justice.
I definitely recommend the six cast performing at the Oliver Awards!
It’s fun to recognize that each Queen has a pop princess inspirations.
Catherine A - Beyonce, JLo, Jennifer H
Anne B- Avril, Miley, Lily Allen
Jane S- Adele, Sia, Celine
Anne C- Nikki M, Rhianna
Katherine H- Brittney, Ariana
Catherine P- Alicia and Emeli S
Catherine Parr is my personal fav. But the show made me cry both times I saw it.
Heart of stone gonna go hard fr‼️🔥
Sam Pauly's live version of All You Wanna Do is heart wrenching.
U gotta watch All u wanna do live cause her expressions n voice scream is SO powerful it makes the song it WAY harder
If you had to pick a wife that "won" being married to H8, the winner would have 100% been Anne of Cleves (first song)
H8 said she didn't look like her portrait and was "ugly" but he needed an alliance with her brother, so he reluctantly married her. They were married for 6 months but the marriage was unconsummated (they didn't bone) and she happily agreed to an annulment. H8 gave her tons of cash, land, and castles for not making ending the marriage difficult and called her his "beloved sister". She basically lived a life of extreme freedom and privilege for the rest of her days. She never married and seemingly had no interest in marrying again or getting back together with H8 even after his marriages to his other wives failed.
Catherine of Aragon (second song) was H8 first wife. She was engaged to H8's older brother and they were briefly married (unconsummated) before the brother died. H8 was enthralled with Catherine who was a few years older than him and he jumped at the chance to marry her. They actually did have a son early in their marriage but the baby died when he was a few weeks old. After that it was miscarriage after miscarriage and stillbirth after stillbirth, Mary was their only living child. After 20 years of marriage H8 was extremely worried about not having a male heir and another woman had caught his eye. He asked Catherine for an annulment saying that since she was married to his brother their marriage wasn't legal. Since an annulment would make Mary illegitimate Catherine firmly refused. H8 then went to the pope to ask for the marriage to be annulled. The pope had family connections to Catherine and firmly refused. H8 was extremely upset because as the king he was not accustomed to being told no, in a fit of rage he created the Church of England and broke away from the Catholic church. He divorced Catherine and sent he back to her family in Spain. Until her death she maintained that she was H8's legal wife and that he did not have any legal or moral rights to usurp her.
Catherine Howard (third song) literally had the most depressing life of all of H8's wives. She was actually H8's second wife's cousin and was ignored, neglected, and taken advantage of her entire childhood. She became a lady in waiting to Anne of Cleaves (H8's 4th wife) and was generally seen as adorable and flirty by everyone, mostly because she was literally a teenager. After H8 annulled his marriage to Anne he married Cat Howard. She was *young* around 16/17 to H8's almost 50 and was in no way prepared to be queen. The marriage only lasted 2 years before she was accused of possibly cheating on H8 with Thomas Culpeper. She confessed to having been with Francis Dereham before H8, and claimed it was nonconsensual. She was arrested and Parliament made a law saying it was "treason, and punishable by death, for a queen consort to fail to disclose her sexual history to the king within 20 days of their marriage, or to incite someone to commit adultery with her." She was not given a trial and was beheaded at the age of 18/19, both Dereham and Culpeper were also executed. There was a story that Queen Elizabeth 1, H8's daughter, at age 9/10 saw Cat Howard dragged away kicking and screaming and was so traumatized she vowed never to marry.
Now we need epic
Six is great all u wanna do is about Katherine Howard, the 5th wife of Henry the VII king of England. her whole life she was trying to find lover but they would all use her. Henry found out about her and Thomas and beheaded at the age of 17 (we think) she was so young she didn’t deserve it!
YESS all you wanna do is my favorite song it’s so heartbreaking
Holy shit I never imagined scoot reacting to musicals. Let’s fuckin go!
you need to react to the preformances because the recoding is made so sound like a normal pop song bc thats the concept but the live performances are sooo much better because they tell the story of each queen. highly recommend
If you plan on listening more and want to know more on exactly what's going on and what it's about, I recommend looking at the Ex-Wives song in the musical ! It's very good and gives you more context to the story.
Look up the wives of Henry the 8th. King of England who basically married 6 women and killed 2 of them. "Divorced, beheaded, died. divorced, beheaded, survived" goes the rhyme.
The whole musical focuses on the stories of the different wives. It's actually quite good, and if you like the music I highly recommend seeing the actual stage play. I watched it on TH-cam after some digging where I found a recording that was decent.
He married 6 women, not 8.
@@duketgg lol yea just a typo, fixing it
you should do the book of mormon if you're thinking about doing any comedy musicals.
The live album from the original Broadway cast is amazing and contains some of the dialogue between songs so you have more context!
omg you should check out some starkid if you're in your theater kid era
since youre reacting to musicals, maybe you could react to some starkid musicals one of these days. They make mostly comedy musicals and have a pretty large fanbase + have made a lot of parodies, i think youd enjoy it
Scoot! You should really react to Rapunzel-The Series. Its pretty good.
In British schools we learned a rhyme to remember the 6 wives and I think every Brit knows it!
“Divorced, Beheaded, and Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. I’m King Henry VIII I’ve had 6 sorry wives, some may say I’ve ruined their lives”
I'd love to see your reactions to a few other songs of this musical, all of then are soooooo goooooood
Scoot react to the song "don't lose your head" from six! But specifically the music animatic from krystaliaaa! It's the best one!
Scoot next musical has to be hadestown it has some soul please check out the wedding song, wait for me, and chant it’s crazy good!!!!!
The context is henry the 8th six wives are competing/arguing on who had it worse with him through song (remember the colors of each wife as it’ll help you keep track on who is who) Of course the actual musical has more plot and story to it besides the songs itself. I recommend you watch the full thing as it is free on TH-cam
U should watch In The Heights. Its by lin Manuel miranda (Hamilton) and its a modern thing its rlly good and based in Washington Heights, New York
Love to see more musical reactions 😊 I recommend Hadestown! It’s based on greek mythology and has a strong jazz influence to its music. You’ll love it.
Search for Sam Pauleys stage version of All You Wanna Do. It brings so much more context to it, makes me teary every time I see it! Best K Howard ❤️
please do more six and PLEASEEEEE revisit "all you wanna do's" live recording. Yes its not super high quality but theatre people are suuuper used to bootleg uploads and Its so worth it. You can see all the real emotion and incredible performance from the Broadway version and I Highly recommend it to really hear the song in a more powerful way. The soundtrack recording while good and still heartbreaking doesn't come close to seeing the live version. also recommend don't "lose your head" which is sung by the second wife and "ex wives" which is the introductory song that plays in the beginning.
Definitely watch the Lose your Head animatic!! The most popular one! That's what actually got me into the musical!!
Henry the 8th was known for marrying 6 wives and this musical is about the 6 wives
Estelle was who voiced Garnet! I hear it!
You should definitely watch mokki animatic for dont lose your head it includes a little before and after the song
If you’re gonna listen to an album version you gotta listen to the live album. This album was made before the OG tour/West end cast came to be and the entire vibe changed
The versión live in New York its my favorite, the emocion in them is so strong and very different of the records versions
Epic the musical is another good musical to react to
Definitely watch the camera ones. The emotion just hits different.
I need to know who the hell said All You Wanna Do is her 'singing about her crushes' why would you LIE omfg?? Especially to someone who might not even watch it to know the true context, absolutely insane behavior
I gotta keep in mind that he doesn’t know that poor girl was used and sexually abused by men in her life just to be blamed for it to the point of being beheaded. While still a teenager. Although girls being blamed for being raped (and the consequences a girl faced for it) were much more extreme than it is today in the western world.
Six the musical is soo good!! Im going to watch it for my birthdayy
i love six the musical
Pls listen to don’t loss your head and ex-wives!
Since ur enjoying the musicals a lot I would love to see u react to Heathers, specially candy store seventeen and meant to be yours because they all have very different vibes to what you’ve seen so far
You should listen to the songs from "Mean Girls", "Heathers", and "Be More Chill" too
Epic the musical It's split into sagas
You should do each saga in an individual video each
the horse and the infant
Is the first song
There arent many recordings because your not allowed to film musicals most of the time. You will actually be kicked out of the theater if your caught
Seen this live.. best experience ever
I definitely suggest finding live verisons of the songs especially All you wanna do!! But yeah I’d say watching the songs in order. This musical is abt Henry the 8th who was the king of England and these musicals tells the story of his six wives from the perspective
RIDE THE CYCLONE BRO PLEASE
The songs so good
6:56 They're all King Henry the 8th ex-wives
8:36 No spoilers because there's no real plot
Yeah, Anna of Cleves (which the English of the time changed to Anne because Anna was "too foreign" for them) was a German sister of a Duke that was given to Henry VIII after his wife Jane Seymour died due to a post-partem infection after their son was born. Henry saw the painting of her by Hans Holbein and was smitten, but then he didn't like how she reacted to him when he barged into her rooms wearing a costume before she'd actually met him (which wasn't helped by the fact that she neither understood or spoke English, so she was horrified and confused), so he told everyone that he was against marrying her because she was uglier than her portrait portrayed. He had to go through the marriage to keep her brother the Duke happy.
What was good luck for her was that she and Henry came to an arrangement. She agreed to an annulment and smoothed things over with her brother in a letter, while Henry gave her a massive settlement and entitled her to the title "the King's Beloved Sister". Anna then proceeded to spend the rest of her life doing pretty much whatever she liked, living it up in the castles Henry gave her in gratitude for her being so cool about losing the marriage, including Richmond Palace and Hever Castle, the latter being the former home of the Boleyn family that was made extinct after the fall of Anne Boleyn and her brother George. She never had to marry, and never did. Sadly, though, she died in her early 40s from what most suspect was cancer.
Yeah, the "siesta feel to it" was intentional, because Catherine of Aragon was a Spanish princess.
Nah, Katherine Howard's story is quite sad. It wasn't just a crush. She was groomed and molested by these older men, including Henry VIII. Being naive, she believed almost all were real, but by the end of the song, you can hear her realizing they all used her for her body.
Please react to more songs and the American version of SIX songs!!! Love your reactions!
You should listen to all the songs, best in chronological order ^^
You should react to Andrea Macasaet version of Dont loose your head and you should also react to all you wanna do again but Samantha Pauly's version from Six also the musical is about henrys 6 wifes
YESSS PLS
the American cast is so funny
@@str4ng3s0ul9yes and Sam was DEFINITELY my favorite K Howard cause of how much emotion was put into her performance
@@The_Luhv_The_Fire_Demon FRR
sam makes me sob omg especially watching the actual musical and what the choreo from the other queens mean during her song 😭
@@str4ng3s0ul9 yeah and the sirens going off at the end when she realizes her situation and realizes she cant get out of it. Its very sad
@@The_Luhv_The_Fire_Demon right 😭😭😭
Basically, Six is about King Henry the 8th's six wives. The first song in the musical gives a good introduction into what you're getting into. (I put a playlist with animatics for every song in order in the Discord suggestions)
Depending which animatic you watch for All You Wanna Do, it kinda changes how you interpret the song. I personally like Gigi's animatics, bc I feel like it highlights how she's being taken advantage of. And at the end of the song the flashes are to show her being executed for being caught with Thomas (who is presumed to have r*ped her.) A really tragic story, shes my favorite of this musical 💔
More songs!!! ❤️
After Anne of Cleaves and Henry’s Divorce they remained good friends. 1:31 Estelle. I high key Got Trust issues from “All you wanna do” Btw That is So messed up. I get about the Times Back then But Still. 4:08 Anne of Cleaves was the one who actually Survived Cause Parr died In child birth and Her child died at like 1 years old and She died at 55, I think.
just discovered theres over 1000 baby spiders in my bedroom but its all okay because i saw this was posted !! life is better !!!!
IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW
Me waiting for Scoot to have an ayo moment with All You Wanna Do 😂
another historical musical is Anastasia; if you like Hamilton and Six, i think you’ll like it :)
