does anybody have a slime tutorial for SIX at this exact date and time: May 21, 2023, 7:00pm.

I was at that show in the front row, and I was wearing a really sparkly dress (which was quite lucky considering I hadn't planned that out) I was invited by Anna of Cleves during the show to stand up for a minute and dance a little (which was crazy!!!!) I want to see how much of a doofus I looked like! So if anybody has one uhhh. Please lemme know.

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.

A History of Six Chaos: Broadway 3.0 (2023-25)

The third Broadway cast consisted of the full principal cast of the Aragon tour, although the alternate situation was more complicated. Only one new alternate, Sierra Fermin, was announced to be joining the production with the new principal cast. Broadway 2.0 alts Ayla Ciccone-Burton, Aubrey Matalon, and Kristina Leopold all stayed on for the first several months of the production and left in March 2024, leaving Sierra as the only alternate for about a week (although universal alternates Cassie Silva and Wesley Carpenter were available to provide coverage at the time). Jenny Mollet and Jessie Davidson were quickly announced as new alternates and began on March 10th before Cassie left on the 17th. Former Boleyn tour alt Jana Larell Glover joined as the fourth alternate in May.

Former alternates Taylor Pearlstein and Aubrey Matalon returned to the show as emergency covers in August to provide additional coverage while Jenny and Jessie were unavailable (these count as emergency covers as they had not formally joined the show, but they clearly were with the production for an extended period of time). Taylor performed eight times (6 Parr shows on August 13th, 14th 2x, 15th, and 21st 2x and two Howard on the 17th and 19th) and Aubrey two (Seymour on the 22nd and 23rd). In late August, former principal Howard Zoe Jensen returned to the show temporarily until Didi Romero returned in mid-September. 

Wesley left the show in late September, with former Boleyn tour alternate Aryn Bohannon joining the Broadway cast as a fifth alternate in early October. Towards the beginning of November, Sierra had to take a medical leave, and original Broadway alternate Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert returned later that month to cover Aragon and Cleves until Sierra's return at the beginning of January 2025. Meanwhile, principal Aragon Khalia Wilcoxon left the show at the end of November and was replaced through the end of the run by original Broadway Aragon Adrianna Hicks. Jasmine Forsberg also left the production early, about a month before cast change, and was replaced as principal Seymour by Aubrey Matalon through the end of the run. Finally, Didi left the show a week before the final performance, and the role was covered by Aryn and Sierra until the final show. 

Stats: # total shows: 506 # emergency cover performances: 10 # emergency performers needed: 2 (Taylor Pearlstein and Aubrey Matalon) # shows canceled: 0 # alts/swings: technically only 1 alt who was there for the full run (had 4 alts for majority of run, minimum 1 alt 2 universal alts) # temporary/short term performers: 7 (Cassie Silva as universal alt at beginning of run, Wesley Carpenter as universal alt for most of run, Zoe Jensen as temp principal Howard, Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert as temp alt, Aryn Bohannon joined as alt, Aubrey Matalon replaced Jasmine Forsberg as principal Seymour for last month of run) # cast member changes: 4 (Jenny Mollet, Jessie Davidson, and Jana Larell Glover replaced Ayla Ciccone-Burton, Aubrey Matalon, and Kristina Leopold as alts; Adrianna Hicks replaced Khalia Wilcoxon as Aragon)

Overall chaos score: 4/10

Eddie Redmayne Says 'Willkommen' to Broadway in First Production Photos from Cabaret Revival (Exclusive)

'The Good Nurse' actor is starring as the Emcee alongside Gayle Rankin as the musical's leading lady Sally Bowles

By Sabienna Bowman Published on April 15, 2024 02:30PM EDT

Eddie Redmayne is ready to put on a show in the first photos from Broadway's Cabaret revival!

In PEOPLE's exclusive first look at the famed John Kander and Fred Ebb musical's return to the Great White Way,The Good Nurse actor, 42, suits up at as Kit Kat Klub's mercurial Emcee. With his jaunty green party hat, oversized brown cravat and black gloves, Redmayne is both intriguing and imposing as the fascinating character.

In another snap of the Emcee in action, Redmayne leaps into the air as several members of the cast dance around him during the show's iconic opening number, "Willkommen."

Additional photos from the show shine the spotlight on House of the Dragon actress Gayle Rankin in the role of the vivacious nightclub singer Sally Bowles. In one compelling photo, she seems poised to take the stage with a microphone in hand as she's surrounded by ensemble members during the song, "Mein Herr."

Another picture finds Rankin in a ruffly white dress while holding a prop cigarette as she performs the song "Don’t Tell Mama."

The Cabaret revival is being directed by Rebecca Frecknall, who helmed the West End version, which also starred Redmayne. Previews began April 1 at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City, with the show set to officially open on April 21.

Cabaret has long been a success both on the stage and screen. Based on John Van Druten’s 1951 play I Am a Camera, which in turn was adapted from the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood, Cabaret first hit Broadway in 1966. It was later turned into the 1972 film of the same name starring Oscar-winner Liza Minnelli.

The musical tells the story of Sally, an ambitious English singer who starts up a relationship with American writer Clifford Bradshaw as he observes the eccentric characters who populate the Kit Kat Klub in Berlin. Set between World War I and World War II, the growing unrest beyond the club's doors is ever-present as the artists within express themselves through song.

It features a score by Kander & Ebb made up of a string of songs that have become musical theatre mainstays, like “Willkommen,” “Don't Tell Mamma,” “Mein Herr,” “Two Ladies,” “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” “Money,” “Maybe This Time” and, of course, “Cabaret.”

Redmayne, who also produces the Broadway revival, has long said that Cabaret “properly ignited” his love for theater, while playing the Emcee in a student production of the musical over 25 years ago.

In an October 2023 statement, he shared, "It now feels completely thrilling and a little surreal to be a part of Rebecca's truly unique vision of Masteroff, Kander, and Ebb's brilliance as it arrives on Broadway, where the piece has such a history."

In addition to Redmayne and Rankin, the rest of the principle cast is rounded out by Ato Blankson-Wood (Clifford), Steven Skybell (Herr) and Tony winner Bebe Neuwirth (Fräulein), as well as Natascia Diaz (Fraulein Kost and Fritzie); and Henry Gottfried (Ernst Ludwig).

The cast also includes, Gabi Campo (Frenchie), Ayla Ciccone-Burton (Helga), Colin Cunliffe (Hans), Loren Lester (Herman/Max), David Merino (Lulu), Julian Ramos (Bobby), MiMi Scardulla (Texas), Paige Smallwood as Rosie, and Marty Lauter (Victor) — also known as Marcia Marcia Marcia of RuPaul's Drag Race fame.

Tickets for Cabaret are on sale now.

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.

I’m so glad they brought them out after the Megasix (though they should’ve gotten a scheduled final show together IMO), definitely one of the most powerful bunches of alts ever and I’m gonna miss them. 😭

[weknowthend]

rip to me ever seeing Ayla Cleves and my chances of Ayla swingo :/

Six US chaos

On August 23rd it was announced via Playbill that Cassie Silva (Aragon Tour Alternate) officially joined the Broadway cast as a Universal Alternate after being on standby since August 9th. However Cassie said this wasn't true (likely because it wasn't finalized/ready to be announced).

On September 5th it was officially announced by Six that Cassie Silva is an official Universal Alternate in Broadway & Boleyn Tour.

Marilyn Caserta (Broadway & North American Tours Universal Alternate) disappeared from the Six website and Playbill & BroadwayWorld both noted she left on September 3rd, with Cassie being her replacement. However, neither of them mentioned Marilyn leaving.

On September 6th, Ayla Ciccone-Burton (Broadway Alternate/Dance Captain) announced that she's been cast in the new Great Gatsby musical, running from October 12th-November 12th. It's likely a Broadway tryout/Broadway transfer.

My Conclusion: Ayla will likely be leaving Six pretty soon, as Broadway cast change is set to happen in December, so her returning for 3 weeks seems a bit silly - especially if Great Gatsby gets an extension. With Marilyn "leaving", it looks like she'll be replacing Ayla on Broadway (since they share B/C/P), or in the new Boleyn Tour cast (since rehearsals are starting soon)! Or Cassie Silva could be learning Parr if she's becoming a full-time Universal Alternate (she's expressed she wants to do Parr as a 4th cover) which would also match Ayla's covers!
