"I don't want your promise. I don't need it. Perhaps no one will understand my marriage to you. But I speak to you, and you answer. I ask you to do things. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't... but you do at least listen. To my thoughts, to my decisions. As if I were a person." CATHERINE PARR IN BECOMING ELIZABETH (2022)

tudor gothic:

the lord chancellor is called thomas. he runs the country. he wants no part in where england goes from now. the lord chancellor is being arrested for treason. the lord chancellor was executed. the lord chancellor was never arrested. there is no lord chancellor.

the crown is dissolving monasteries. this is standard practice. all the monasteries are shutting down. this is thomas's fault. you have no idea which thomas. the crown wants the monasteries back. the monasteries are never coming back. you visited an intact monastery just yesterday. when you blinked, the ruins gave alms to the poor.

the wars of the roses have just ended decisively. the wars of the roses have been over for decades. the legacy of civil war haunts england. you've watched shakespeare's wars of the roses plays. the wars of the roses must have been over when the throne passed peacefully to henry viii. when you close your eyes, you can somehow hear reginald pole laughing at you.

the duke of somerset was beheaded for treason. so was the duke of buckingham. so was the duke of northumberland. so was the duke of norfolk. so was the duke of suffolk. the duke of suffolk never lost the king's affection. all the dukes are vying for power. but then you remember: there are no dukes. perhaps there never were.

the howards are not to be trusted. thomas howard was thrown in the tower. thomas howard was executed for treason. thomas howard lived out his life peacefully. thomas howard only narrowly escaped henry viii's reign with his life. you are drowning in thomases. they never end. one thing you are certain of, though: thomas howard is long dead. thomas howard will outlive us all.

you know the names of every courtier in the kingdom, and yet more go missing with every passing day. you try to note down the name of thomas wryth, but you cannot put quill to parchment. how is it spelt? wriothesley? you have always known that. you know it deep in your bones. and yet, when you try to say it out loud, words fail you. words fail everyone, where the earl of southampton is concerned. somewhere dark and terrible, an ancient beast awakens from its slumber. like everything else, it is also called thomas.

you turn to noting down the name of the queen. kateryn parr. this is a simple task. your subconscious whispers catalina to you in a distinctly spanish accent. your hand shakes. you try to write down catherine, but it morphs into a k against your will. you drop your quill, hand trembling. nonetheless, there is a name before you. whose name it is is anyone's guess.

mary is queen. which mary? which queen? suddenly, you are not so sure.

the bible is written in latin. the bible has always been written in latin. you flick through the pages of your bible, and greek letters swim before your eyes. you check the book again, and find you are holding a book of hours. all the words are in english. you cannot read any of them.

the king of england has ruled for many years. he is nine years old. the king of england is a foreign power. elizabeth was king; now james is queen. long live queen james!

#thomas howard will outlive us all is a reference to the 3rd duke of norfolk #but like. there's enough of thomas howards it could be several of them #none of them dodged death as well as he did though #inspired by my teacher being unable to decide how to spell kateryn parr's name #historyposting #*casually skips between reigns*

Dismayed by what she had observed while still with Katherine and apparently smarting at the insult, however unintentional, to her father’s memory, Mary firmly declined to become involved. (...) She knew Seymour’s reputation with women and was not fooled by his appeal to her innocence. (...) What she did have was the measure of him, and considerably more so than her half-sister, whose reputation was nearly ruined by her later association with Katherine Parr’s fourth husband. (X)

notes from six broadway 9/8/23

- khaila!aragon winked at me a few times and waved at me

- nasia!cleves also interacted with me a lot, including dancing with me during her part of the megasix

- taylor!parr almost fell over during the end of no way but caught herself before fully falling

- aubrey!seymour was very childlike. like she sounded like a little kid who would’ve made all 4 chairs turn on the voice. very much that like young singing competition contestant voice. also their yelling at aragon during “aw boo hoo little baby mary had the chicken pox…” was giving temper tantrum. btw I mean this as a compliment, he’s very talented.

- khaila!aragon and leandra!boleyn had such fun and low-key flirty interactions

- zoe!howard seemed a little out of it, I hope she’s okay

- leandra!boleyn kept doing this “hehehehe” laugh thing that was really funny

- aubrey!seymour did a little mocking curtsy with the skirt of their dress during the bit before parr’s monologue

- khaila!aragon had really good comedic timing and made me laugh on lines I had never laughed at before. her aragon had like slight anger issues so she yelled at a lot of the other queens then like took a moment to collect herself each time she did it

- like in general a lot of the queens got excited when they looked down and saw me (I did an aragon inspired outfit with a six opening night mask and both were very noticeable)

Tfw you’re married to an dangerous unstable butcher and made queen to this guy and everyone at your court waits for you to die too and you have nightmares about this man killing you as he killed his wives so you hide your religion and placate and love him and keep yourself a secret as best as you can and do everything right but you’re still in torment with these dreams and their judgement and they give you his dead wives’ jewels and clothes and castles so you have to wear the gowns of a murdered child whom you can’t even admit was innocent because her name was dragged through the mud so much and just as you think you’ve achieved his love and reunited his family he paints his dead wife in your clothes on the royal portrait and she is in your clothes as if you are the ghost, alongside all the others who came after her and this was the woman he abandoned in childbed, and all of this happens to you smack bang in the middle of public so you can’t even rage or grieve smhhh

#look objectively i know that phillipa gregory can barely be called a historical writer but DAMN #catherine parr #kateryn parr #she was holding shit together in that court #tudor era #jane seymour #katherine howard #catherine howard #henry viii #the taming of the queen #phillipa gregory #I WOULD’NT reccommend this book btw! you don’t need to read it!#its a barebrush detailing of kateryn parr but the ending is so wildly inane and i HAAATE thomas seymour and how they portrayed elizabeth #house of tudor

2022-23 Broadway Wigs

Starting off by mentioning that all the Six wigs are individually designed for their actors, with exact colors/textures/styles decided by what’s most flattering on the individual queen. That means that any new cast (especially in the US) could have totally new designs, new elements or colors/shades, or pre-existing elements but in a new combination. There are also times when wigs are totally standardized with the only change being the colors to match the individual queens’ hair (this is most commonly the case for Howard). And when I refer to US wigs or what’s typical for each role, I’m exclusively referring to mainland US (Broadway + tours). NCL is a totally different team and set of wigs.

There have also been quite a few changes between opening and the present. Anything that changes the overall look or design I’ll note, but anything in the vein of minor thinning or a very minor trim that isn’t particularly influential I won’t. Just know those things always happen a fair bit with new wigs.

Hailee Kareem Wright

Hailee has a full ombré wig in shades of dark browns. Middle part with Dutch braids on either side. It’s longer and with a flatter back and sides than many Aragon wigs.

US Aragon wigs have some of the most variance depending on the queen. This wig is definitely noticeably individualized for her (and I have to give the design team props for this, it’s definitely one of my favorite Six wigs). The basic design is near-identical to Bre Jackson’s wig with the ombré and Dutch braids, but it pretty significantly differs from Adrianna Hicks’, who had primarily black wigs with very dark brown highlights and no braids.

Leandra Ellis Gaston

First of all, a moment for the braids!!!! Truly was not expecting this and it was SUCH a welcome surprise.

Leandra has a full wig with hip-length box braids that are narrower at the front of the scalp but chunkier in the center back. Color mix is primarily black but has some very dark brown in there. Other than the braids(!!!) the middle part and space-buns are standard for US wigs.

Bella Coppola

This wig is actually very interesting. At first glance it’s a very typical Seymour wig but it’s a pretty significant departure from US Seymour wigs and more in line with UK: the beehive has only really been seen in UK (which I talked about here), both the US and UK used to use center parts but this past year the US has been using side parts, and US has typically shifted towards a shorter wig than Bella’s. Color is more unique too; most of the US (+NCL wigs) have had a little bit more of a red/strawberry/warm brown tone, while this one is more in line with the blondes popular in the UK (lot of factors here at play that I’ll get into another time). There’s still more of a golden tone than the more platinum that UK usually goes for, but it is overall more in line with UK.

They’ve also changed the wig slightly over time: the size of the beehive has been increased and it seems like there’s been a shift towards tighter curls rather than the usual looser curls it started with (which are more in line with we’ve been seeing from other US casts lately).

Nasia Thomas

Nasia’s wig has braids coming up from the sides and back to swoop into the top section that’s been left loose and to the right. Red highlights as (almost) always. It has been significantly thinned down with time (opening bottom right as opposed to top row from their performance a few weeks later).

The style is a significant change from Brittney Mack’s hair, who had her own braids with bleached highlights but no loose section and red added in only some of the time. The tour principals have had more of a mid range - braids up the sides/back and red highlights like Nasia, but the top section is still braids centered on the head rather a loose section to the side. The tour alts’ wigs all vary quite a bit with nothing identical but some similar elements.

Zoe Jensen

Very standard US Howard ponytail with nothing particularly new or notable. Pink dyes differ a bit from queen to queen but that’s really the only variance for her!

Taylor Iman Jones

Alright, here’s the one everyone’s been asking about. Taylor has a full black wig with some warm dark browns mixed in. She debuted a totally new hairstyle for Parr, completely different from anything we’ve seen before. At opening, the hair on the front right of her head was pulled over to the side and back, with all the hair on the left side of her face + the entire back bottom half down or to the side in loose curls. Since then they’ve thinned it out very substantially; the section on the left side of the face functions more like a ponytail (more like we’ve seen with Roxanne Couch’s old side ponytail wig or Sydney Parra’s wig) and the amount left loose at the bottom has been slimmed down.

A post on the alts (including Marilyn Caserta) will come a bit later - they haven’t all debuted and a few wig designs have been changing around.

“The love between the couple was reawakened after the King’s death and the couple were married by the end of May 1547 ... It is not known exactly when the couple became betrothed and even when they got married, due to the fact that the couple wanted to keep their relationship quiet because of the King’s recent death. It is clear, however, that they married in haste … Marriage to Seymour changed Catherine’s life. She was finally with the man she loved.”

- Claire Ridgway, The Elizabeth Files
