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.

"too many years lost in history!"

happy trails to the incredible six aragon tour! was lucky enough to see them when they were in my state. honestly this was probably my favorite cast. they were phenomenal!

(individual portraits under the cut.)

you thought i was done drawing six stuff? 🤨 WRONG. this tour resurrected a hyperfixation i thought was long since gone. i cannot recommend it enough; please see it if you can/while you can.

"but iris, didn't you already draw six fanart like four times?" idk, do i come to your blog and tell you about your life? /lh /j

Summer 2023 Wig Updates: North American Productions

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.

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.

Well I can't stop thinking about if Apple's Spirited was actually done on Broadway with Broadway actors so have a fancast

Disclaimer: This is literally just actors I like and know are currently active. There is very little thought put into this beside "ooo I love this voice and think it would fit the role p well." Feel free to dispute and brainstorm further in the reblogs/tags, but like there is genuinely 4% thought put into this, lmao.

Present (Will Farrell) - Jonathan Groff

The heart and soul of the show. Requires strong acting, strong vocals, and a stunning sense of humor. Honestly maybe this is just me being a simp but like I fully think he would have a gotdamn blast dressed up in Scrooge makeup for the 1800s scene and no one can convince me otherwise.

Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds) - Jeremy Jordan

This is it, the entire reason I made this fan cast. Just. Imagine Jeremy Jordan singing Bringin' Back Christmas. The same energy as Ready As I'll Ever Be, and also as The World Will Know from Newsies??? Like, that's barely anything, and he's perfect.

Kimberly (Octavia Spencer) - Khaila Anyé Wilcoxon

Yeah okay I did sadly feel like I needed to slightly de-age Kimberly to match the younger form of Present; my original casting was NaTasha Yvette Williams and she would still slay this so hard, but like. Consistency, ya know? And besides, Khaila is STUNNING, fr; her performance as Catherine of Aragon is a testament to her skills alone, but if you want proof of her ability to sing gently as well as to Belt Like All Hell as she does in Six, then I will just direct you kindly to her role as one of the Fates in Hadestown; girl SLAYS! (Alternate pick: Renée Elise Goldsberry, because I can just HEAR her sing these songs.)

Jacob Marley (Patrick Page) - Patrick Page

I mean. Come on. Even if he hadn't played this role already, he originated Hades in Hadestown. No one can top this guy.

Past (Sunita Mani) - Solea Pfeiffer

Hadestown haunts the cast again, but like, come on. She's so good, no one can tell me no.

Yet-to-Come (Tracy Morgan) - Michael James Scott

IDK something about his energy as Genie just translates really well to this role to me. (Alternatively, the Beetlejuice energy of Alex Brightman would give a REALLY fun twist to it, especially if the director decided to lean into YTC as a comic relief character, but the energy is just off enough I wanna stick to the source material for now.)

Wren (Marlow Barkley) - Isabella Esler

Okay to be completely honest am I pretty much just pulling a random Lydia Deets out of a hat since they're like the only consistent kid actresses I can find? Maybe, lmao. That said, having heard her sing, she's GOOD fam! I think she could pull Wren really well!

Owen (Joe Tippett) - Justin Collette

Okay, so once again, he happens to be a Beetlejuice star, but the vibe check here really comes from his role in School of Rock! It's the same sort of offbeat-person-with-a-heart-of-gold vibe as Owen has in the movie, and like with him also playing the Beetlejuice to Isabella's Lydia, I think they'd do great as dad and daughter on stage. Alternatively, Will Burton (who played Adam in the same cast) would also be a great pick, but gives off some more panicky vibes that I don't feel are as great of a match to Owen.

Carrie (Andrea Anders) - Michaela Diamond

If you've seen her video on her favorite song from NYT, you Know the vibes.

Anyway that's my brainrot for the year thank you and enjoy—

New Broadway Queens!

Genuinely can’t even believe I’m typing this but queendom… your new Broadway queens 🥺

Literally the entire Aragon Tour principal cast. And to see Didi and Jasmine back aswell!!! Also welcoming the only new queen in this cast Sierra Fermin to the queendom as an alternate!

Wesley Carpenter will be taking over the Universal Alternate role, covering across the Broadway and National Tour productions! She was previously Seymour in the Bliss 3.0 cast!

[thefandomeffect-noah]

Even with SIX chaos, fsr seeing the (former) Aragon tour queens with the Broadway alts is so bizarre to me. As the description said, literal dream cast.

#six the musical #six broadway #khaila wilcoxon #ayla ciccone burton #jasmine forsberg #olivia donalson #didi romero #kristina leopold #also I thought it was cute that Kristina instinctively pointed at Didi during “favorite queen song #when Didi points to all of the queens for that part #then she does a little hop when Didi points to her #six brainrot #Youtube

Round 29 - August 20, 2023M

As soon as I heard Khaila Wilcoxon would be Aragon for the next month, I ran to the theatre to see her. I’ve been a fan of her for a while and was so sad I missed her and the whole Aragon Tour. She blew me away. Probably one of my favorite casts that I’ve seen, they all had such incredible chemistry. It’s always a pleasure to see Aubrey, Ayla and Holli’, and they all killed it! Aubrey has such an incredible voice and amazing comedic timing. Ayla’s Parr felt so comforting and was such a stark difference from seeing her Boleyn the week prior. She is such a strong belter and has such incredible range. Holli’ is so talented, I’ve seen her bring the sass with Aragon, bring the humor and bring the party down as Cleves, and be emotional and vulnerable as Howard; all while separating the 3 roles and making them their own and having such an incredible voice.

Anyways I love the Six the Musical Broadway cast.

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
