Summer 2023 Wig Updates: North American Productions
Tumblr media
The Canadian production has officially opened! I'll do a more in-depth look at all of the wigs later this week, but a few quick updates worthy of note: - Julia Pulo doesn't have any major changes to the base style, but we're finally getting to see a North American Boleyn with curls!! - Krystal Hernández got the red ponytail braid style for Cleves. It has some changes to the specific style, which I'll go into more detail about this week. - Lauren Mariasoosay has the back ponytail that's becoming an alternative standardized style. Hers has a very different base than any of the UK and most of the prior North American Parr wigs in this style, but it definitely fits the general category of the back center ponytail. Again, comparison post coming soon. - We've also seen a few of the alts' hairstyles! So far everything has been as expected, but it does answer one of the big questions I've had: what hair color they'd give Darcy Stewart. She might not get the same color for all three of her queens, but at least for Boleyn they went for a light blonde that reads more strawberry blonde under stage lights.
Tumblr media
Over in the Broadway and North American Tour... - Khaila Wilcoxon joined Broadway as a temporary replacement for Aragon. She's still wearing her wig from the Aragon Tour. - And Sydney Parra got the back ponytail style about a week ago, which we've seen slowly become standardized for non-Black actors. It might be her old wig re-styled but I'm waiting on better photos to confirm that. The styling seems to be more in line with Lauren Mariasoosay's wig than some of the past in this style, but again I'm waiting for better photos.
————————— Canada: pro photos by Joan Marcus; Darcy/Julia photo from @/darcellas, Krystal and Lauren photos from @/laurenmariasoosay, Darcy photo I found on Wiki but presumably is from @/darcellas
Other: Khaila photos from @/thekhailawilcoxon, Sydney from @/sydneyparra and @/sweetbeeyoutees

have you seen these?
Tumblr media
I did. And as much as i would love to see either of those happening I think its just another case of queens messing around with each other's costumes (or wigs in this case). And honestly who can blame them. They get to wear some but not all of these amazing costumes there is probably some degree of wanting to try on the others. Marilyn has confirmed she wore Aryn's wig and I think Kelly is wearing Taylor's ponytail. Union rules about sharing aside if they were to play those roles Marilyn would get a brown wig (or maybe her hair or another of her wigs restyled in an emergency) and Kelly a ponytail that matched her texture straightened simmilar to what Holli' has.
Also I typed this yesterday and since we got Aryn Aragon (with I think Marilyn's wig) and Kelly Boleyn. Now I need jana B/H, Taylor Cleves and Cecilia Parr please.

My fav six wig variants x
Rt bfr we start the parade, just wanna reiterate I am not calling any actors ugly, these are simply what looked best on the actress, and for the character they play in my views.
Aragon: Deirdre Dunkin
Tumblr media
There are MANY things i would like to say about this wig, but I'm tryina keep all these brief x
1: The wig, whilst looking completely new, still keeps to the standard Aragon crunches (Dutch braids, Hair gathered to back etc.)
2: The back curls look amazing, the wig must of taken so long to get perfect.
Boleyn: Baylie Carson:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, most bobo wigs seem to follow the same pre-standardised look (Straight hair, Pulled to back) so i was excited to see six stepping away from this look when the production photos came out.
After seeing them live, i can not only say that the wig works logistically (Short, pulled back front), but also that the curls actually assist in Baylie's characterization of the character (Bubbly, More chaotic etc.)
Edit: Bonus points for their curls going wild whenever they move x
Seymour: Jasmine Forsberg (Bway variant)
Tumblr media
Jasmine is phenomenal as Seymour, so it's no surprise her wig is exactly the same x. The front piece remains the same as her Aragon tour wig, however her curls are much more loose, and less bunched.
Might just be me but i feel like this works for her less regal, more humane characterization of Seymour.
Cleves: Nasia Thomas
Need i say more, Look at the beauty x.
Tumblr media
(Honestly would go as far to say it's the best cleves wig we've been given PERIOD, but we're all entitled to our own opinions x
Howard: Sophie Issacs:
Tumblr media
I like this wig for many of the same reasons as i do Baylie's, however in a slightlllyyy different context.
With Sophie's wig, I feel as though the more less structured, more curly appearance assists in portraying the character of Howard (a young, naive child) in a more visual sense, therefore making her solo an even more emotional journey for the audience, as her innocence, and child-like mannerisms are on full display.
Parr: The side-curl variant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In this case, you simply cannot beat the original.
Appearance-wise, this variant is almost always a hit, it also works in a more technical sense, as the actresses hair is fully combed to one side of their forehead, allowing for less distraction onstage. Along with this, the simplistic appearance of the curls, allows for actors to have slightly more freedom over how they wish to style their hair.
EG: Danielle's Length & volume compared to Janiq's; Hannah's more maintained hairstyle.

yet another dumb idea
haikyu production of six the musical, except the cast list looks like this
Catherine of Aragon - Hajime Iwaizumi
 Anne Boleyn - Eita Semi
Jane Seymour - Yūji Terushima
Anna of Cleves - Yūki Shibayama
Katherine Howard - Ryūnosuke Tanaka
Catherine Parr - Hitoka Yachi
can you just imagine the reactions of the teamates. karasuno crying when all you wanna do comes on
Nekoma is laughing their butts off when get down comes on
Johzenji is absolutely frozen most of the show because of A :the jokes are amazing and B: the are crying
Seijoh is just blown away because iwaizumi has an amazing voice and they also look really hot in that costume
Ushijima was the costume designer, understudy, choreographer and director... they have no regrets
yachi was the only person on stage wearing actual pants,semi,terushima and shibayamawore the normal costume, iwaizumi made ushijima change his to have shorts same with Tanaka
They met up with their teams after the show but they were still in costume even the band,so imagine being shiratorizawa , after this emotional rollercoaster of a show instead of going back to the dorms your confronted with semi,who is still in costume and ushijima is A: still wearing a headset and backstage clothes and B: is bouncing up and down with after show excitement
Tanaka wore a wig during the proformance so it took a little bit of time to recognize them
This is the wig ⬇️
Tumblr media
BONUS:
the ladies in waiting
Musical Director/Keys - Kōtarō Bokuto Drums - Kanji Koganegawa Guitar - Shigeru Yahaba Bass - Lev Haiba

misc six observations:
the pantages is the most gorgeous theater i’ve ever been in (not that i’ve been in many but u know)
it’s also along the walk of fame and kirsten chenoweth’s star is right by the door (lena horne's is just across the street)
they didn’t advertise my show as accessible but it was open-captioned and asl-interpreted (but it looks like both things were only viewable to ppl seated on the left side)
an old couple next to me were trying to figure out which “chopin composition” the pre-show music was? (they’re all piano covers of pop songs) v confused
the “queen bios” in the playbill list aragon’s interests as “religion, sewing, dancing, and a bit more religion”, boleyn’s says she’s remembered for “headlessness”. parr’s talks about her friendship w mary and that her mom was LIW to some previous wives, but makes no mention of the fact that aragon was her godmother(/namesake) or that she married seymour’s brother
the minute greensleeves started playing, people started cheering. it was so fun
khaila was born to play aragon that's all im saying. literally nonstop applause until the dluh intro
storm's boleyn tiptoed that line between "idk what's going on" and "smart and cunning" so so well
cleves did the ponytail-pull instead of seymour? idk if this is a recent change but it has Interesting implications characterization-wise lmao also it was just funny because olivia had to significantly reach up to get to courtney's hair
speaking of which, both nat and cmack's new wigs look a lot fancier than their old ones somehow
im pretty sure nmp actually started crying during hos (which, even though i've heard her sing it a million times, was every bit as beautiful as i thought it would be)
hoh live is an Experience in the best way, they just looked like they were having the best time bouncing around the stage
the audience member picked for get down was so good/confident olivia cheered for her the entire time instead of doing the "this is my song" bit after shfghjkl
get down is already such a lively song but olivia's version amps it up even more like i was in stitches during the intro and the entire audience was fired up by the end
the k-howard roast didnt get as many laughs as it should've :// i felt so bad for courtney because she delivered those lines flawlessly
and then loud and immediate applause after aywd??? L audience tbh
(also interesting note – the asl interpreter didn’t sign for applause after the song like she did for all the others)
natalie's "I DIED" was every bit as amazing as all the audios. also she basically chased khaila offstage while saying that line sdkf
i think gabriela is my new favorite parr im so obsessed w her take on idnyl and her acting (even in the background) is impeccable
there were some obvious mic issues – both cmack and storm were a bit quieter than everyone else and khaila was way louder; all three of them left the stage at various points for unknown reasons (but there wasn't a show stop and i dont think most people noticed someone missing)
this cast's chemistry was i n s a n e like the little interactions and they way they reacted to each other plus the harmonies…10/10 no notes
speaking of which. there was a really sweet moment toward the end of idnyl ("why should i tell that story?") where aragon puts her hand on howard's knee comfortingly
standing ovation after six!!! idk if this is a regular occurrence but they bowed an extra time because of all the clapping lol
except then people started leaving, so courtney had to start the megasix early and you could barely hear her over the audience
but it was ok cuz people stayed on their feet throughout the megasix too and again the girls took a really long time leaving the stage after bc the cheers kept getting louder!!!
tldr i had the BEST time and if the tickets weren’t so expensive id go again and again <3

Amelia Atherton Q&A
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
@/broadwayworks on Instagram, 27 January 2024
Some other questions that were asked:
Q: Where are you from? A: So I'm from a place called Bolton which is in North of England near Manchester, which is probably the biggest city nearby. Uh, but I actually live in London now.
Q: Have you met queens from other companies of Six? A: I've been fortunate enough to meet quite a few of the other lovely queens from Six. Uh, the ones I know best and love very dearly are, ehrm, my good friend Maiya Quansah-Breed who played Parr in the original West End cast, we had sixth form college together. Um, my wonderful, wonderful friend Monique (Ashe-Palmer) who was alternate Aragon/Cleves on the West End last year. I also know Harriet (Caplan-Dean) who was super swing on the tour and has played many many times on the West End - we also went to college together - and my god friend Scarlet (Gabriel) who played Cleves, ehrm, on the ship, and also Ellie (Eloise) Lord, my current Parr sister who just finished. Ehrm, we auditioned together this time. So we got the job at the same time which was so nice.
Q: Your fave alternate costume? A: I always wanted to be… on the tour in the orange - I think it was the alternate Seymour and Parr costume that they had on the UK Tour. I've wanted those orange trousers so badly. Orange, 100% for me.
Q: Who's a past/present queen who has inspired you? A: I have already loaded answer for this question. So I've always thought myself as an Aragon or a Cleves, until I saw Danielle Steers play Parr. And then I was like wait… maybe that's me. So yeah. Danielle Steers is my inspo 100%, ehrm, and lot of things she does like the Cher show too, like, sigh that would be a dream-dream-dream of mine. But yeah. So Danielle Steers is my biggest Parr inspo for sure.
Q: How many times has Izzy been on? Izzy (Formby-Jackson): Hello! Ehrm, so I've actually only been on four times because I did - I swing on for Boleyn, and obviously that was two shows - and then I did my debut as Howard for two shows too! So I've only actually done four! But yeah, there'll be some more to come, so… that's exciting!
Q: Is your wig your natural hair colour? A: Kind of… kind of not. Like, my natural hair is like, dark blonde. But I dye it. I've had like every hair colour under the sun, I've had red, black. This colour here is probably the closest to my natural that I've had in a long time. But yeah, ehrm, they asked me how I felt like being, like, a more blonde Parr and I said "I would love it" because basically we've got no other, like, blonde queens in the cast. So yeah, it's cool, and I like it. It's something different, and I like that it's unique.
Q: Why are the cruise contracts so small? A: So the answer to this question is actually that we're the final cruise cast of Six, which is why our contract was only four months long rather than the usual Six-month contract. Ehrm, they're also shroter than the land contract just because of laws to do with how long you can be on a ship for, how long you can be signed on as crew member. Also things like getting a visa for being in the US and working the US from - we're from the UK. That's why they're slightly shorter. But yeah, ours is particularly short this time around because we're the final cruise cast, which is crazy! But I also feel very fortunate to have that. Yeah! It's really cool.
Q: What songs did you sing for the audition? A: So, most of the times I've auditioned for the show it's just been shows from the show. Erhm, but the first time I auditioned I saw Wings by Little Mix and Best Thing I Never Had by Beyonce.
Q: What other queen would you be if you had the choice? Amelia: I've got a special guest! The face of BroadwayWorks… Sarah's here! Sarah (McFarlane): Hello! Amelia: Sarah plays Howard, and, yeah, we're gonna answer this question together because we just found out… Sarah: We have the same answer! Amelia: And what is that answer? Sarah: Seymoo! Amelia: Seymoo! Sarah: I wanna be Seymour! Amelia: Yeah, so would I, and I said earlie, I was like - "oh, maybe Aragon"… then Izzy was like, "what about Seymour?" and I was like, wait… yeah… Sarah: Well, I think I'd like choose Seymour or- or Parr, my other rehearsal swing covers Amelia: Yeah, I'd like to see you do both of them. Yeah, so I'd like to do Seymoo.
Q: Any on-stage mishaps? Sarah: Oh, we've got plenty. I - obviously, as you know, my song is 45-million years long, and there's lots of lyrics, and there's been a few occasions where I get in my little head, and I mess them up! And on the Henry verse, instead of singing "tall, large, Henry the Eighth", I sang "serious, tall and large…" and so no one knew who Henry was 'cause I didn't say his name! Amelia: It was very funny. And I was trying to keep a straight face, like this - purses her lips tightly to one side Sarah: I was like - gasp no! He's no the supreme head of the church of England I guess. Amelia: And mine was when I went to say "hashtag no Catholics"… I said "hashtag big Catholics… hashtag biiiig dowry"… BIG Catholics, BIGGER dowry- Sarah: Which is funny, because I'm- I am Amalia of Cleves, and I'm Irish, so. Amelia: Yeah! Sarah: Call me a big Catholic. Amelia: She's a big Catholic right there.
Q: If you weren't a performer, what would you be doing professionally? Amelia: Special guest Gabbi Mack! Aragon is here! And she's gonna answer a question? Gabbi: [reads question] If think I would be a librarian. Amelia: What? That's so cute! Gabbi: To do research and I like to look at… well, I like to look at picture books. Both: [laughing] Gabbi: But I think I would be a librarian. Amelia: That's so cute… oh my god! Gabbi: What would you do? Amelia: My obvious answer is to be a teacher, but I actually don't think these days that I can do that.
Q: Fave thing about being in Six? Amelia: Special guest unlocked! Janice (Rijssel) is here! [chuckle from Janice] Janice is gonna answer this question. Janice: So my favourite thing about being in Six is being called queen all day every day- [loud laughter] Amelia: And it's so true! 'Cause every week people are like, "hi queen! hi queen!" Janice: They don't even know my name, they say just, "oh hey queen, queen queen! Amelia: Yeah, we love that!
Q: Can you show us Boleyn and ask her what her favourite part of her costume is? Amelia: Okay, here she is, best for last! Hello! Lorren (Santo-Quinn): Hey! Amelia: What's your favourite part of your costume, Lorren? I love my wig and my hoops. Yeah. I love a good accessory. Amelia: Yes, good choice!

If you were to bring back an older Cleves hairstyle, what’d it be? The original long Lexi wig? Her shorter one? Her shaved head? The pigtails (Nicole, early Vicki, early Harriet), the side braid (Liv, CJ, Sophie, Jen), the high pony (Courtney, later Vicky), the low pony (Ella, Chiara), or even Grace’s curls?
I loved Lexi’s shaved head! I also liked Nicole’s, Vicki’s original, and the CJ/Jen styles, but I felt like which of those worked depended on the individual actor’s depiction.
I feel like the plain high and low ponytails worked in the very early days, but once they started getting the costume updates they felt too simplistic.

New Cleves Style - Kelly Denice Taylor
Tumblr media
(kellydenicetaylor, kellydenicetaylor, kelseekimmel, taypearlstein)
Kelly got a new Cleves style for her Boleyn Tour debut!! By the end of Aragon Tour she had a faux mohawk with very densely packed curls pulled over to the right. Her new Boleyn Tour style is more segmented, with some curly bangs in the front and more of a curly pony style high on the crown of her head (a little more similar to Ayla’s second Cleves wig). It looks like it’s probably the same wig, just restyled.
This is Kelly’s fourth Cleves style now - she had three on the Aragon Tour.

UHM HELLO? MARILYN’S NEW CLEVES WIG????
8 notes · View notes
janedances · 1 year

Why do you think we got 2 Boleyn, 2 Howard and 1 Seymour for the Broadway alt production shots? Also, why do we barely get any Cleves and none for Parr?
Very good question lol
I can only assume it’s because of standardisation in terms of hair and stuff. Boleyn/Howard are the only looks that are really set in stone (the spacebuns and pink ponytail are the standard) whereas A/S/P are interchangeable. So, because they had the opportunity to have 2 sets of Boleyn’s/Howard’s for the shot, it’s a win win. PLUS, majority of hair and wigs weren’t set in stone (e.g Marilyn)
Then we have Kristina: my assumption is that they only had her as Seymour as it was the most standardised look and the one that looked like Bella’s hair. Plus, her Parr costume is quite different to the rest and yeah.
The reason we don’t get Cleves/Parr promo shots that often is probably something to do with how often the costumes and the hairstyles change. Look at the Aragon Tour for example, Kelly is now on her 3rd Cleves wig and Erin is on her 3rd Parr wig. And they are all drastically different to one another. There’s too much change possible within these two queens so I think they thought it’s better to leave them two blank in case of the future changes (which are highly likely)

Seemingly getting rid of the silver alt variations and giving Meg one costume with no variations also seems to be a choice. I wonder if by next cast change they’ll have the US cover system with no alt costumes.
I think Meg not having pants is another on the long list of things six is trying out with this cast. One of the things long running shows need to do is being smart with where they spend money, not making very expensive costumes that will only be used a handful of times is one of the most common practices. And that is not a bad thing.
Many shows refit costumes for new cast members, or share big pieces like skirts and coats. With six its not easy to refit costumes or share anything aside from crowns or ruffs in a single cast. But they are exploring alternatives. Alt boots with interchangeable straps mean alts will have the fancy designs without making three separate pairs of boots. Alts now have one or two wigs made to be easily restyled into multiple queens vs having four separate hairpieces. Its been a process of trial and error thats still not finished.
For this cast change it seems they were aiming for having two strong covers for each role (which is what most shows have anyway) plus a third cover just in case with the swings. Ignoring the fact that six always needs extra coverage and that Natalie would be out during a complicated period it is a good cover system. Everyone said no second covers or alt costumes was not a great idea (and we were right) but objectively it is a solid plan.
Meg not having pants I think falls into this. Silver only uses pants for parr and she is probably third cover: Hannah first, Natalie second, and if they need both Howard and Parr with Hannah out I think Meg would get ptiority for Howard. Second priority swing costumes are very rarely worn so they are a big investment that will probably hang in a closet most of the year. Meg not having pants makes sense. But I also don't think it was the right call. (Also I dont think her having boleyn over pants would be the best plan either)
Focusing on priority cover variations for the swings is a good idea as those are the costumes they are most likely to wear. But they are still swings, they should go on for all queens; its like second covers, with most alts they rarely go on for those roles but there has never been a cast where they arent needed. So yes do variations for priority but also make sure they have variations that work for all six queens. Parr with open skirt doesn't necessarily work. But you know what does? Cleves with pants and Symour with pants and its not ideal but Parr with shorts. Do you see where I am going? I stand by the best swing variation set is open skirt, cleves and pants. But if the production is cutting variations make black open skirt and cleves and silver open skirt and pants. Its the middle point, less variations to make but it still covers all six queens.
And Meg not having pants now doesn't mean she won't get them in the future, six WE is at a trial stage for alts. I wouldnt be surprised if she gets a variation sometime soon.
Also I don't think UK casts will switch to Us cover system, both work very well for their respective continents.

So I was looking through several portraits of several historical figures
And here's what I gather from several of their fashions so far :
. Borte does kinda often dress like Princess Yue ( at least to me ) - fancy crowns, furs and such
. Catalina D'Aragon often wears splashes of black and gold, with big dresses and Pearls
. Cleopatra VII loves figure flattering dresses that are often made of silk, and gorgeous headdresses, Pearls, and often switching between Egyptian wigs and styling her dark reddish hair in complex coiffures
. Julius Caesar is defo quite a fashion dandy in that he often wears bold ass colors ( notably red ) with gold accessories
. Lucrezia Borgia does often kinda dress like Lucrezia does in the Borgia series - opulent dresses with long golden hair in often complex coiffures and such
. Wu Zetian does often dresses kinda like Zetian does in Empress of China
. Khutulun often dresses kinda like Katara ( at least to me ) - shieldmaiden armors with braided coiffures and such
. Richard the Lionheart often dresses kinda like Godric Gryffindor ( at least to me )
. Ann of Cleves does often dress kinda like Helga Hufflepuff ( at least to me )
. Louis XIV us a flamboyant af dresser with decadent robes and huge feather hats and such
. Mozart is also quite a fashion dandy with flamboyant coats, gloves, and feathers and such
. Ekaterina II of Russia often dresses kinda like a beautiful Pavlov cake ( at least to me ) - big dresses with big hairdos and such
. Anne Boleyn often dresses kinda like a mix of Queen Aurora and Margaery Tyrell ( at least to me ) if they lived in the Tudor Era in spades - floral accessories, A Line dresses and such
. Elizabeth of York often dresses kinda like how I imagine book! Sansa to dress like
. Henry VII often dresses kinda like how I imagine book! Jon Snow to dress like
. Malcolm III does often dress kinda like Bran Stark ( at least to me ) if he lived in the 11th century
. Saladin does often dress kinda like Jafar ( at least to me )
. Eleanor of Aquitaine dresses often kinda like how I imagine book Olenna to dress like ( if Olenna lived in the 12th and 13th centuries and such )
