Six Fun Fact

Because I'm obsessed with spreadsheets, I've been slowly adding more and more data to my little (ok it's big and slows my computer down hardcore) spreadsheet of Six information. After adding initial debut dates for every role each performer had, I came across a little fun fact: of the 73 unique debut orders performers in Six who performed 2 to 6 roles have had, there have, to this date, been 3 groups of people who debuted all the roles they have performed (again, to this date) in the exact same order; 2 groups of 3 who debuted 3 roles, and 1 group of 2 who debuted 2 roles:

Seymour/Howard/Parr

Elizabeth Walker (Breakaway 1.0)

Seymour Debut: 16 January 2020

Howard Debut: 18 February 2020

Parr Debut: 26 February 2020

Seymour Debut: 11 October 2021

Howard Debut: 10 November 2021

Parr Debut: 14 February 2022

**Bryony's photo as Seymour was from her as a Swing in the West End 2.0 production and Shekinah's Cleves photo as Cleves was from her as Principal in the UK Tour 2.0 production, despite them debuting these roles in the Bliss 1.0 and West End 1.0 productions, respectively.

***Images were cropped so each one was cropped to equally fill a 10x5.63 inch full photo.

The new alt combos and queen swaps go hard with this cast omg.

Izzy has Parr pants + Cleves jacket and shorts on the UK Tour… the alt costume drought is over

[six-costume-refs]

Do you think Lorren Santo-Quinn will use her Boleyn costume when she covers the role? Natalie Pilkington used her Parr and Seymour costumes as an Universal Swing, but Izzy didn't wear her Boleyn or Seymour costumes.

I’m not expecting it. Natalie Pilkington’s Seymour and Parr costumes were UK makes and it was a no-brainer for her to keep those. In the case of actors moving from Norwegian/cruise productions to the mainland, those costumes mostly seem to be in use a) only when they’re no longer needed for cruise productions (which is now the case for all of them, but was not during the run of show), and b) by whichever country they fit the method and style of. Since most of the cruise costumes were made by John Kristiansen (the US maker) it does seem like they’ve been quicker to reuse cruise costumes for the US casts/productions that also have John Kristiansen costumes because they more closely match the style. Izzy’s B/S/H costumes and Loren’s Boleyn were all made by John Kristiansen, and all of them have details that distinguish them from the UK costumes which Six may want to avoid for inconsistency’s sake.

The exception is Eloise Lord, who is wearing her NCL/cruise costume. However, it had pretty extensive modifications in order to make it fit the standard UK-style.

I’ll also note that it’s just far more work and complication to maintain and travel with more costumes rather than less. Part of Six’s success is that it is (relatively) such a cheap/low-maintenance show to run. This leg of the tour is doing multiple international stops; they may just not have the capacity to keep five full costumes for Izzy (B/S/H/silver main skirt/Cleves variations/maybe even would have still gotten Parr variation) when they can just give her one main swing costume with 2-3 variations.

'24-'25 Six UK Tour 2nd/3rd Cover Possibilities

Now that the Six UK Tour has released its cast for 2024-25, I, as someone who practically documents everything in spreadsheets, had to spend 3 hours listing out (and formatting in fancy tables) all the possibilities for the new Alternates' (Milly Willows, Erin Summerhayes, and Lorren Santo-Quinn) 2nd and 3rd covers.

I did this in two different ways, because genuinely in the magic that is the chaos of Six, know one knows what direction they'll go with coverage. I first listed the possibilities for if they follow the trend of the 2023-24 UK Tour cast (all three alternates cover all six roles, having two each of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd covers, a total of 10* possibilities...), and then I listed the possibilities for if they follow the trend of the current West End cast (the three alternates have two 1st covers and one 2nd cover, a total of 40* possibilities...). Both of which, I grouped into various categories with explanations as to why I grouped them and are more or less in order of likelihood (at least from my perspective).

*: please note, this is off a first glance, and while I'm confident I hit every possibility, I'm human and make mistakes haha. But nonetheless please let me know!

So without further ado:

Assuming Alternates Cover All Six Queens:

Group 1:

2nd/3rd covers take one from each of the other two alts (and Lorren is 2nd cover Boleyn)

Group 2:

Alt Coverage Groups Stay Consistent (Like the West End cast from 2021-22)

Group 3:

The rest of the options

Assuming Alternates Only Have One 2nd Cover:

Group 1:

Lorren's 2nd cover is Boleyn (which would make sense as she was principal Boleyn on NCL)

Group 2:

Given Milly covers two of the roles Izzy did not cover on NCL, this provides additional options where 2 out of 3 of the 2nd covers are roles Izzy did not cover on NCL (which, in my head, will likely be the three she will debut first)

Group 3:

The remaining logical ones (much like the current West End Alts), where one of each of the Alts 1st covers is another queen's 2nd cover

Group 4.1:

Both of Milly's 1st covers are 2nd covers (unlikely)

Group 4.1.1:

Same thought as 4.1, but at least all three 2nd covers are roles Izzy did not cover on NCL (less unlikely but more likely than the rest of Group 4)

Group 4.2:

Both of Erin's 1st covers are 2nd covers (unlikely)

Group 4.3:

Both of Lorren's 1st covers are 2nd covers (unlikely)

Like I said, this was made rather quickly, so if I missed a possible arrangement, please let me know and I'll update it! I feel like it's (obviously) too early to make any guesses, and I'm not familiar with a lot of these performers, but regardless of the outcome, the most confident guess I can give is Lorren will be 2nd cover Boleyn. Additionally, I genuinely feel that given this production is going to be international and not just in the UK, hopefully Six will learn their lesson (lol calling Natalie Pilkington in the Philippines now) and have the alternates continue the UK Tour alternate and West End (prior to the 2024-25 cast) alternate coverage system and have them cover all six roles, with an alternate costume for the 2nd and 3rd covers. But, at the end of the day, it's Six. Chaos will likely happen regardless haha.

I'm also curious if anyone else has any predictions on what the 2nd (and hopefully 3rd) cover system and distribution will be! We'll all probably be wrong (watch them do two 2nd covers and no 3rd covers somehow), but hey, speculation is one of the best parts of this show and fandom haha
