So I saw six the musical tonight and oh my gods I fucking love it also two silly things happened during get down when cleves said to someone in the audience to get up they didn’t even though it was said multiple times so cleves said my ex husband never got up either and then during I don’t need your love when parr said we all disappear someone in the audience said I see you and it was funny

Hi, I’m working on a K Howard cosplay and was wondering if you had any photos of the her microphone. Specifically looking for a recent version.

Hey! Yes, there’s been a few different styles used recently.

Top row is all West End. Left and center both show the current cast (2023-25). Right is from 2021-22.

Center row is all the North American tours. Left shows Aragon Tour, middle shows Boleyn Tour 1.5, and right shows Boleyn Tour 2.0. Broadway used the Aragon style up until this current cast (2023-2024), which uses the same style as Boleyn Tour.

Bottom row is all NCL. Left is Breakaway 2.0, center is Bliss 7.0, and right is Breakaway 4.0.

In the past there’s been quite a bit more variance - some casts have had far less embellishment, or the queens colors’ have been incorporated in different ways. But since you’re asking about more recent designs specifically, that’s what I included.

The mainland UK and North American microphones are fairly similar; they both use a textured holographic foil in a black or dark silver on the body of the microphone, crystal a ring around the grill in the queen’s color, and somehow embellish around where the base and the grill meet. Sometimes that’s a single thin ring of crystals (current UK), sometimes it’s a ring a few crystals wide (old US and UK), and sometimes it’s holo paper in the queen’s colors (current US). Each microphone is assigned to a queen and customized in that queen’s colors. The swalts also go on using the microphone assigned to the queen they’re performing as.

"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

Pov: Catherine of Aragon chooses you specifically to be her "Lady in Waiting"

A/n: I went to see SIX [The US Tour Boleyn Cast] once, and now it's my new hyperfixation. You can kinda tell who my favorite queen is

It's very rare that the Six wives would 'propose' to a Lady in Waiting while touring. First of all, there's only four of you. Second, they're singing to compete for who had it worse with Henry VIII after all.

You were a part of that "Ladies in Waiting" Band, interacting with the Queens between shows was difficult for you, especially. To at least catch the attention of the Golden Queen: Catherine of Aragon.

But seeing how she was always bitter about her divorce with Henry VIII, you just kept your feelings to yourself

It wasn't like you were King Henry VIII's younger sister

You often like to be by your lonesome between shows. To practice even more before the evening show.

That was... Until Catherine of Aragon began joining you on your extra practice sessions.

You also helped her in any way you could with her solo No Way.

You slowly opened up to the idea of enjoying someone's company.

She would often be the one to bring the both of you lunch while you remain behind.

One day, you made the decision to go with her to a lunch outing.

You underestimated how fun it is to be around people. Catherine of Aragon showed that to you.

Right before the evening show, you began unraveling how you felt about her, to her face

"Every time I watch you, whether it was rehearsal or a show... I'm... I'm in awe. I see how your crown makes it look like it was made from the rays of the sun... My Lady, you are as beautiful as the first sunrise..."

Catherine got down on a knee and 'proposes'

"Will you be my 'Lady in Waiting'?"

She gives you a gold rose to place somewhere on your instrument or outfit

Aragon smiles smugly as she catches every glimpse of you wearing the gold rose with pride

Boleyn, Seymour, Cleves, Howard & Parr were surprised to see Catherine finally boasting about something that wasn't about her bitter resentment towards Henry.

Wesley Carpenter's Universal Costumes!!

Y'all would not believe how excited I am to be talking about this. I've been hoping ever since Bliss 3.0 closed that we'd get a chance to see Wesley back and I think @lightleckrereins can confirm how much I lost my shit when she returned. So, without further ado, here's the costume breakdown:

Boleyn The top certainly seems like it was altered, so it probably wasn't initially made for her. But it's difficult to identify re-use with Boleyns so I can't easily confirm which, although I have a shortlist of what it may be. Possible that the skirt is new. Her wig is a very typical straight wig with space buns.

Seymour Her corset is Jasmine Forsberg's Aragon Tour corset** with new cups (oh foundation stains how you make me laugh). The skirt looks like it's an older pattern, so I'm inclined to think it's an old NCL skirt.* Wesley has a blonde wig with a center part and some hair pulled to each side. The rest is left down and curled. No bouffant.

Howard The top/corset is definitely new, but leotard is up for debate. She has the typical Howard pony.

Parr With this one we don't have the most thorough photos to compare with, but I suspect the top is Gabriela Carrillo’s tour top.** The peplum seems like it used to be Sydney Parra's. The pants could easily be reused or a new make. She has a back ponytail in the same style that's been slowly standardized for most of the North American mainland queens.

Boots Wesley has the interchangeable strap/neutral heel alt boots with a single thick strap. *Note that now that the NCL run is done and all the final queens have their costumes, ownership of the NCL costumes should be reverting back to Six itself rather than NCL. **Both Jasmine (corset) and Gabriela got a new top for Broadway.

👑 Six Alternate Appreciation! 👑

the alternates of the six aragon tour.

i do not think alternates get enough credit, and they have one of the hardest jobs for real. drew the six aragon tour alts because i just think they're neat. I saw both cassie and erin cover for boleyn in two different shows and they both did a great job! it might have made more sense to draw them both in the boleyn costume, but imma be real with y'all i did not want to draw that costume twice. 🧍🏽‍♀️it's a slay, it's a pretty design, but if i have to draw green holographic material again i just might explode.

unfortunately did not see kelsee or kelly when i was there, but i hear they're amazing as well!

POV: Catherine of Aragon catches you Singing

You were in the "Ladies in Waiting" band (Reader can pick any instrument they choose)

Not once did any of you sing. You always claimed you weren't a singer.

You actually were a singer. You were too modest to admit it to anyone.

But, the thought of wanting to at least sing just to sing had crossed your mind many times.

So one day during a time-gap between the shows, you took to the stage and began singing No Way: Aragon's solo

Aragon coincidentally walks into the wing of the stage and just so happens to catch you reaching that high C

"Oh! Muy bien! I never sought you out as a singer! And that articulation leading up to that note... Fantastique!"

"Because... I'm not?..."

She didn't believe you. At all.

You couldn't argue with her: because she was a queen for starters, but she also caught you red-handed being a singer

But for her to tell you that you were an exquisite singer, made you feel giddy.
