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.

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

Sooooooo glad I got to see this cast!! They’re all phenomenal! 😍

[six-costume-refs]

is it just me or is Marilyn’s Boleyn wig shorter than most of the ones we’ve seen so far? It looks like it in some angles but around the same in others.

It’s actually a little longer than most of the other recent US wigs! Blunter cut with less layers too, but a little thinner and I think that’s what you’re picking up on!

Aragon Tour wigs were very tapered and layered, so they’re not necessarily short at their longer points but can look that way on stage. Boleyn Tour wigs also had some tapering and layering, but are still thicker and with more of a blunt cut. Zan Berube’s specifically is more tapered and layered, while Taylor Pearlstein and Aryn Bohannon’s both much less. Ayla Ciccone-Burton’s wig was made more around the time Boleyn were and it roughly lines up with Zan’s. Marilyn Caserta’s was made significantly later and lines up most closely with Taylor and Aryn’s. Aubrey Matalon’s isn’t pictured but it’s closer to Marilyn/Taylor/Aryn.
