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.

which six wigs from current productions are most different from each other for each role?
This depends on so many things. The wigs have to follow a certain style for each character and how different they can be from each other varies a lot between characters. Lenght, volume, styling, cut, color, hairtype, how much standarization there is. All affect the final look
I think it is:
Aragon: Aragon tour. This one is weird because both UK companies have very different styles for the principal and alternate, but all other alts and swings have almost identical styles. Broadway and Boleyn tour change lenght, volume and hairtype but styling is overall the same. Aragon tour has simmilar curl type for Kahlia, Kelly and Kelsee but a very distinct styling for each one plus marilyn who does have a simmilar styling to Kelsee but completely different hair type.
Tumblr media
Boleyn: Broadway. Leandra makes them win this one on her own, but also Ayla has a different cut than Aubrey and Marilyn (and obviously a different hair type too).
Tumblr media
Seymour: Aragon tour. For ANAT all three of them have different lenght, style and curls; both before and after Kelly and Kelsee got new wigs (and thats not even counting kelsee's ginger wig). I feel like WE and UKT should be in here too because both have very distinct styles for principal and alt and have at least one other alternate that should have a customized style (that hasn't debuted yet), but everyone else has the same just like for Aragon.
Tumblr media
Cleves: Everyone (minus SK but I added them to the chart anyway). Cleves is the character that gets the most customization by far, and even when the base style is technically the same all read very different onstage. Even when NCS tries to give the alts a style that looks the same as the principal it ends up looking different.
Tumblr media
Howard: broadway and only because of a technicality. Holli's wig is made to look like curly hair straightened while everyone else is just straight hair. Also I am not counting dye color in here because that is chosen to compliment the base haircolor so it is not an intentional difference. (And zoomed out photos because they all have different lenghts too)
Tumblr media
Parr: All land companies. Parr does have four different base styles: side curly ponytail, side curls, regular ponytail and updo. But within those happens the same that happens with Cleves, even when the base is the same it looks different on everyone. WE has Roxanne in the ponytail, Leah in side curls, Monique in side curly ponytail and everyone else in different updos. UKT has a simmilar mix of side ponytail for Alana, side curls for Natalie and different updos for everyone else. Boleyn tour has two different side ponytails and two different regular ponytails. Aragon tour has Gabi's style and three different ponytails. Broadway has Taylors side swept curls, two very distinct side curly ponytails and one regular ponytail.

You know what would be great?
Phantom and the bats fighting over the Amulet of Aragon after Danny steals it from the art gallery it was accidentally displayed in.
The bats don't know what it is and Danny is Danny so he doesn't even try to explain. At some point Harley Quinn intervenes and somehow manages to smash the weird necklace into chunks.
Phantom starts freaking out and everyone was confused. I mean yeah, it was cool looking and probably kinda expensive but why was he-oh. The amulet exploded in a swath of grean flames, blowing everyone back and when they opened thier eyes they were no longer human.
Harley for her part quickly got over her "Oh no im a dragon" phase and went straight into her "Heck yeah! I'm a dragon!" phase. Good for her. Ivy is considerably less thrilled, however.
The bats are wigging out. Phantom is wigging out. Damian is thrilled and admiring his glossy emerald scales in the reflection of skyscraper windows, Nightwing is curious to see if he can do acrobatics as a 60ft dragon, Tim and Bruce are investigating the remains of the amulet, Spoiler is cheering because heck yeah she's purple, Cass is at the manor nursing a broken leg (don't ask) and being watched by Alfred, and Jason is at home oblivious to what has happened to his family.
Phanton has turned invisible and intangible and escaped in the chaos. Maybe princess Dora will know what to do?
....if he can even get back to the GZ. Most of his powers aren't working rn.

Cast announced for "The Other Boleyn Girl" stage adaptation
The show features in Chichester Festival Theatre’s new season
As part of its upcoming 2024 season, Chichester Festival Theatre will present The Other Boleyn Girl, adapted by Mike Poulton from Philippa Gregory’s novel.
Gregory’s novel is set against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s court, where Mary Boleyn finds herself entangled in her family’s quest for power as Henry’s mistress, while her uncle schemes to place her on the throne amid Queen Katherine of Aragon’s inability to produce a male heir. However, Henry’s attention shifts to Mary’s sister, Anne.
The cast includes Jacob Ifan as William Carey, Kemi-Bo Jacobs as Queen Katherine, Alex Kingston as Lady Elizabeth, Peter Losasso as Francis Weston, Freya Mavor as Anne Boleyn, Lily Nichol as Jane Parker, Lucy Phelps as Mary Boleyn, and Andrew Woodall as the Duke of Norfolk. Chris Green and Sarah Harrison provide musical accompaniment.
Directed by Lucy Bailey, it runs from 19 April to 11 May at the Festival Theatre. Joanna Parker serves as the designer, with Chris Davey handling lighting design, Orlando Gough composing the music, Beth Duke managing sound design, Dick Straker overseeing video design, and Ayse Tashkiran as movement director. Susanna Peretz takes charge of wigs, hair & make-up, and Ginny Schiller CDG handles casting.

Bucky would probably dress baby Barnes as a hobbit for Halloween or just plain autumn weather. Lottie would love to dress up as a pwetty elf and Henry would be a mini Aragon. 😭🤧
First of all that’s the cutest fucking thing I’ve seen today!! 🥺🥺
Second Lottie would be Galadriel, long flowing blonde hair and everything. (This girl in a wig can you imagine?)
Henry would dress up as Legolas. Clint would even teach him how to use a bow and arrow.
Baby Barnes would be a Hobbit.
Sugar would be Arwen.
Bucky would let his hair grow up and be Aragorn.
They would convince grandpa Eddie to dress up as bilbo.

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.

Harriet Caplan-Dean's Hairstyles: UK Tour
Hey y'all! Have had a few asks recently about Harriet Caplan-Dean's different wigs and hairstyles. I realized I never actually made a full post about that, so here it is.
Tumblr media
She only had two wigs: an Aragon bob and a Howard pony. - The Aragon was used for Aragon. - Her own hair was used for Boleyn, Seymour, and Cleves - The Howard pony was used for both Howard and Parr. This was normal for most non-Black UK Parr covers for a while (post about that here).
Her Parr style was changed a few times mid-run:
Tumblr media
Debut and early shows had a bun in the back before going into the Howard pony. By around July 2022 it had switched to a lower ponytail with a poof and single braid on top, using just her hair. From then through the end of the run it stayed mostly the same, although they played around with the exact style of the braid and poof.

Quick broadway cast change costume update
Both @six-costume-refs have been too busy to do a proper breakdown of the broadway costumes. But this is a returning cast so it is mostly updates which means we can keep it short.
In general the broadway costumes are a mix of Aragon tour and new pieces with some being replaced during the tour and some for broadway. There is a solid amount of guessing in here. Some things seem to be new but made from the same patterns as the tour costumes. And some things (sleeves, underlayers) there is no way to be sure whether those are new or old just from photos. Crowns and accesories are likely the same they had on tour as those get very little wear compated to costumes. Also in theory they should all have new boots. In general queens who stay for a second contract get new pairs after about a year so following that pattern the broadway cast should be getting new boots.
Khaila Wilcoxon: Khaila has a new costume. Looks like it was made from a new pattern, top and belt shape are slightly different and skirt is longer. She has either her tour wig restyled or a new wig with the same curl pattern as the old one. Wig is styled with two braids on top pulling the hair back and less volume than her tour style.
Storm Lever: Storm seems to be wearing her old costume. She has a new wig. Straight hair like her tour wig but longer and looks thicker.
Jasmine Forsberg: Jasmine has a new corset, it is shorter on the sides and has a more pronounced point in front, and cups are a slightly different shape. Recent JKNYC dresses have been looser over the hips, Jasmine still has the more fitted style which says its likely her tour dress or a new dress with the old pattern. Her wig could be new or the old restyled. She has a side part, styled bangs and curls like she did on tour. But bangs have less volume and curls are tighter and in smaller clumps.
Olivia Donaldson: Olivia has what looks like a new costume made from the same pattern as the original with minimal alterations and bigger tabs. No clear photos of her pre reveal costume or leotard yet. If it is all new the sleeves might be repurposed from the tour costume. She also got a new wig and hairstyle with cornrows on the sides and curls with red highlights on top. An interesting detail is that she switched from black and silver makeup which US casts did previously to red and silver which was introduced in late 2022.
Didi Romero: Didi has a new skirt and leotard with either her tour top or a new top made from the same pattern. Her ponytail looks new too.
Gabriela Carrillo: Gabi has a new top and either her tour peplum (likely) or a new one made from the same pattern as her tour one. No way to be sure on the pants. She has a new wig with highlights she didn't have before and a variation of the current back ponytail Parr style. She has a french braid in one side and a dutch braid on the other as introduced in the canadian cast, but instead of a high ponytail or loose waves she has a low ponytail mirroring her tour styles.

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

Dress Up
Series: Red Carpet Diaries (Post Series)
Pairing: Thomas Hunt x F!MC (Brooklyn Moore)
Rating: General
Word Count: 534
Summary: Thomas surprises Brooklyn with their son, Matthew in a Anne Boleyn Costume
A/N: This was inspired by Nicole Louise Lewis's Instagram Story (Current Principal Catherine of Aragon on the UK Tour of SIX) where her daughter dressed up like CoA and I immediately thought of writing this.
It was simply a normal day at the theater. The cast of SIX was doing some quick run throughs of the show with the alternates subbing in for some parts of the roles that they covered to make sure everything was still going well. It was the Sunday before Halloween and Brooklyn had only a couple more hours of rehearsal and the evening show before she was free for the next two days, as they had no shows on Mondays and she took Halloween off to spend time with Thomas, Matthew, and some friends from her hometown. 
While Brooklyn was at rehearsal, Thomas was at home with Matthew picking out a costume for him to wear while going trick or treating. This was Matthew’s first trick or treating experience as he was now 2 years old and they figured it was time. 
Brooklyn and Matthew had gone out to the costume store a few weeks prior to pick some costumes for Matthew to try on and pick which one he liked best. What Brooklyn didn’t know was that Thomas had actually asked Addison Sinclair to make Matthew a costume similar to Brooklyn’s Boleyn costume for Matthew to wear as a surprise. Addison had dropped it off not long after Brooklyn left for rehearsal and Thomas had gotten Matthew into his costume before going over to the theatre. 
By the time Thomas and Matthew had arrived at the theatre, rehearsal was almost over. Once they were signed in and all set, someone from the team brought them back to the left wing of the stage where the alternates were sitting and checking their notes for the queens they play. Megan Shaw, who is the alternate for Boleyn, Seymour, and Howard was the first to notice their arrival and smiled when she saw his costume. Thomas gave her a small smile and made a shushing motion with his mouth and hand, to which Megan nodded and went back to her notes.
When the cast had finished the run through, Thomas and Mathew slowly came out from the wings. Thomas clapped which made Matthew attempt to do as well. The whole cast besides Brooklyn turned to see them and cooed at Matthew’s outfit. Brooklyn then turned her head and let out a little gasp before quickly walking over to the pair and immediately grabbed Matthew from Thomas and started to spin him around, making Matthew giggle
“Where did you get this costume?” Brooklyn asked. 
“I asked Addison a couple weeks ago if she could make it for him.”
“It’s so cute!”
Brooklyn started peppering kisses all over Matthew’s face making him giggle. Everyone else smiled and watched the interaction. What Brooklyn also didn’t know was that Thomas had bought tickets for the two of them in the front row. She noticed them during her song and everyone could see she was a lot happier.
After the show, Brooklyn quickly got out of her wig and costume so she could quickly go through stagedoor and go over to Thomas and Matthew. Once she was done, she ran over to the two of them and gave each of them a kiss on the cheek before they walked back home.
