All You Wanna Do is absolutely heartbreaking to see live. Like, it's bad enough already, but on the album it sounds clearer and more professional. Live, you get to see Katherine breaking down as she realizes she's been used her whole short life.
Fun fact about Katherine Howard (all you wanna do): she was about nineteen when she was beheaded. And the day before, she got a wooden block to practice how she’d lay her head. This was to help make her death quick and not as painful, and to help her look more graceful. It’s really sad.
Another fun fact, they actually don’t know her exact age when she was beheaded, they do suspect she was late teens tho, so they think she was either 18 or 19 meaning she was only either 16 or 17 when she married Henry VIII
LunaZKRaven GACHA at the climax she starts to realise what’s happening and starts panicking and it’s so sad it’s a lot different from the soundtrack 🥺💖
The song actually downplays the age gap. She was 13 and I think the music teacher was 36 at the time. She got groomed and used by the men around her. She also practiced laying her head down for the beheading whilst waiting for her death.
Another fun K Howard fact: she was beheaded by an axe. This was a lot more messy and painful than a sword, which is what Henry had ordered for her cousin, Anne Boleyn's beheading. It show how little he cared for her. Also, of the few documented cases of her speaking up in court, they're mostly about how she tried to spare as many people from capital punishment. Didn't help her in the end
@@reKomaAgain apparently that is also fake as there is no proof of it. It would've been recorded if so and there is apparently nothing of the sort in the history records.
None of these queens deserved what they got. CofA basically died of a broken heart, plus Henry wouldn't let her see her own kid, AB was shafted by gossip and haters, JS died after complications from a 3 day childbirth cause Henry wanted Eddie over her, AofC was screwed cause she wasn't wise to the kid games, Henry played, CH was groomed for abuse at a disgustingly early age, and KP had to give up the guy she loved and had to dumb down her brain for Henry. Then after Henry died she got to finally marry her guy only to find out he was being a pedo and trying to get her stepdaughter, AB's kid Liz into the sack while she was preggers, then she dies from complications of childbirth. So I feel for every one of them.
But after Anna divorced Henry, she got a huge castle and lots of land and money because she was smart enough not to upset him, so she wasn’t too badly off
@@user-ui7tn1fq2b yeah, AofC came out with the best deal, but you know what Henry did to her had to have taken a toll on her and her self esteem. No wonder she never married again. Hell, I probably would have been the same. Of course, with all the cash and lands she got from him she probably wasn't even worried about no man, lol! She sure as hell was happy to stay in England, cause if she had gone back home her family would have just sold her off to the highest bidder with the best connections without any regard for how she felt about it. She had a helluva lot more freedom in England than if she would have gone back home, and she knew it.
@@QuikVidGuy yes it does. She learned early that the guys around her were ultimately only interested in her status, and would use her for their own status and riches. Tommy was trying to groom her to get in her undies for his own lust and gain. Plus, it probably made Liz lose a lot of her girlish fantasies about love and romance and to not ever trust a man fully with her heart. I mean, here was her stepmon's husband making moves on her while her stepmom was preggers with his baby. She probably felt creepy and scared.
K Howard was still a child and here are some things in the songs showing it; ‘Enoughsie’ ‘Birds and the Bees’ ‘Play times over’ And the music sound a bit like a lullaby from a music box when it gets quieter.
'fun' fact: Henry Manno was 36. She also was 18/19 when she was beheaded and was the cousin of Anne Boleyn. She had definitly the worst life out of Henry Viii wives...
@@fabuloushatlady7812 Lemme explain; so basically there are things called bootlegs of musicals which are recordings of musicals for people who can't go see them. However, to avoid copyright claims, they are commonly referred to as slime tutorials. Whenever mentioning characters in said musicals, you refer to them as "slimes". Then it kinda became a meme in the community. Hope this helped :D
I have recently watched a slime tutorial and holly crap balls it’s good. In the song you listen to Howard break down a little but- it’s a whole different experience. You really watch her break down.
Worst part about mannox, he was like 36 in reality. Her entire damn life, was being used and sexually abused. In this household we all know that our beloved katherine deserved better
idk if you know this but catherine howard was no older than 19 when she was beheaded, meaning the events of all you wanna do take place over a six year period :(
I love how all of the comments saying this start with “idk if you know” when my comment section is full of the same information 😂 I am aware, it’s awful :(
@@lilenwasnothere6867 he was the snitch on dereham trying to marry her a couple years before. Either her brother or culpepper himself told the king about culpepper raping her, which they counted as an affair
I think it might have been a maid who snitched on them or Mannox. Culpepper didn't snitch because he knew that he would have died if he did. I think I read somewhere that a maid that was K's friend, who K helped get into the castle, snitched on her. I also think I read that Mannox had fled the country by the time of her beheading, otherwise he wold have been killed along with Culpepper and Dereham. Though, I don't really know much, since I'm American.
Saw it in Chicago and legit ugly cried at least three times: Heart of Stone (duh), AYWD (Sam Pualy is AMAZING playing Howard), and IDNYL (they do this thing right after it that's a quieter more acoustic version of the One of a Kind No Category chorus and it was so heart warming I cried)
Is sad because Katherine was clearly sure that she was loved by all those men, but they just wanted to use her and her love... I mean, she wasn't oblivious of what she was doing -not with Francis, Henry and Thomas-, but can we really hate her for wanting love and thought that the only way she could get was through... Well.... You know... The only thing they wanted to do...
Oh yes you finally reacted to AYWD! It's my favourite song in the musical (despite how freaking sad it is). But you should definitely listen to some of the clips of K Howard singing this live because...that straight up rips your heart out. Sam Pauly cried at the end of this song and afterwards said "and then I got beheaded!" Every K Howard puts in different emotions to the song, some angry, some upset and they're all worth the listen!
In one of Sam Pauly's performances that got recorded and posted no one clapped and I think that's the ultimate compliment for someone playing Howard. The audience is so shocked and sad that they can't bring themselves to applaud such an obvious display of grooming and sexual abuse.
I forced myself to not listen to the last three songs of the soundtrack so that I could react to it for the first time with you. I love AYWD even though it's actually super sad and Six has such a great beat. I don't like IDNYL as much but it's still good and a gorgeous voice. I'm not going to see it in the WE but I am going to see it in Hull in May when it's on tour so I'm really excited for that. Can't wait to see what the next musical is.
Mackenzie May Barraclough oh no, has it now been cancelled tho? i saw tour twice back in october and it was SO SO SO good, can’t recommend enough so if you get another chance - rebook!!
@@emmajudge7717 hi Emma, the original date has been cancelled but it's been rescheduled for July next year so it's fine. It's gone from 20 odd days away to 450 odd but at least it'll happen someday.
Katherine was abused by older men all her life its so sad I love Katherine.. She just needed to b treated better, When she says Birds and the bee's me and Enoughsie and Playtimes over is a reference to how young she is
The live performance by Samantha Pauly is one of the best. There’s a lot more symbolism and acting which likely could’ve helped you understand the story more. She embodied the presence of K. Howard really well in my opinion 🤔
Okay, so fun fact. Catherine was still underage when she was in a relationship with Francis Derhan, but she *wasn't* thirteen. Francis actually did love her, and they had plans to be married before she went to work in court. But, he was shipped away to Ireland on business for his employer, who had only really sent him there to get him away from Catherine.
Correct me if im wrong but read somewhere that k. Howard ran in a hall saying she was innocent and until now in that specific part of the hall you can hear K. Howard shouting her innocence
Loved this whole series! It was so interesting to see your reaction to each song! I discovered six about a year ago and I love it!! The songs are impossible not to boogie to. I’m yet to go see it but it’s my top priority of things to see in the next couple of months! I hope you lot have the most wonderful day seeing Six and in London! 😄💜
I love this! If you want, there’s technically one more song called MegaSix. It’s not on the soundtrack as it’s the only song your allowed to record! I highly recommend it!
"I dont need your love" makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME because I just love how each of them are reclaiming their story and saying "f*** what happened in history and how I'm remembered, in this moment I will make you remember me for me." It's such a powerful thing, and I hate that the actual wives are unable to do that.
The first time I heard “I Don’t Need Your Love” I thought, “If they ever do a Hamilton-esque Mixtape, I hope they get Alicia Keys to sing this...” (I liked the Emilie Sandé mention though! Good one!) When I heard “Wait For It” from Hamilton for the first time, I thought, “This sounds like an Usher song...” who sang it on the Mixtape 😏😎 I’ll die if they ever do a Six Mixtape (Six Remix?) and get Alicia Keys to sing for Parr.
I love aimie’s performance of All You Wanna Do of course she’s the original but I would watch Sam Pauley’s on stage performance he breaks into tears at the end and it’s just so emotional and shows how horrible what she went through was.
There are technically 2 more songs from Six you could do! They have animatics for both of youtube! The Megasix and Anne Boelyn's introduction! They're non-album tracks, but you can find animatics of them!
I’m telling you (something you already know), this whole musical is 1) a bop, 2) catchy as all hell, and 3) SAD. Sometimes I can’t listening to it - especially “I Don’t Need Your Love” - without getting emotional. Amazing musical, amazing performers, amazing everything.
Queens' trivia: Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard shared a great-grandmother, Elizabeth Cheney. Through her maternal grandfather, Jane Seymour was a descendant of King Edward III's son Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence. Because of this, she and King Henry VIII were fifth cousins. Jane Seymour served as a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon, before going on to serve as a lady-in-waiting to Anne Boleyn. Katherine Howard served as a lady-in-waiting to Anna of Cleves. Katherine Howard was seven years younger than Henry’s eldest daughter, Mary. Catherine Parr was actually most likely named after Catherine of Aragon, since Aragon was Parr's godmother (Parr's mother served as a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon), so Henry VIII most likely had been knowing Catherine Parr since she was a baby. Catherine Parr was only four years older than Henry's eldest daughter, Mary, and she was actually a very close friend to the Princess. So Henry's sixth wife was his first ex-wife's goddaughter and his eldest daughter's friend. Catherine Parr married Thomas Seymour (Jane Seymour's brother) when Henry died. When Parr died, Thomas Seymour tried it on with Elizabeth (Anne Boleyn's daughter, and the future Queen Elizabeth I) when she was a princess.
I watched the musical and then I realized . The second guy in kitty’s song is her family’s assistant. So I’m pretty sure she was still singing about him and her having “it”.
It’s one am I was trying to sing quietly on all you wanna do but when Katherine got to the third chorus I went loud on that awesome vocal she does I think my parents maybe wondering why the cat sounds like it’s dying...
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I've always thought the last song, Six, was them telling they're experience in the afterlife, and how much happier they been since death. Which means the musical might be insinuating that they are the spirits of Henry's wives come back for one moment to tell their stories before ascending back into heaven as the curtain falls.
Honestly, the one that always brngs a tear to my eyes is "SIX". The Idea of the stories they _would have wanted_ to have is so heartbreaking. To imagine, just for a second that they lived happy and fulfilling lives on their own terms.
Hi, really enjoyed your video on the musical Six, It’s easy to see that you have a great passion for musical theatre. An absolutely fantastic watch. Thank you. ❤
(not so) fun fact!! henry mannox was apparently 36, not 23, when katherine howard was 13. the “he was 23 and i was 13 going on 30” line already hurts me enough and to know that he was actually older than that hurts even more. katherine lived such a terrible life and i’m so glad that her story, along with all the other queens, is finally getting told.
K Howard never reached the age of 19 before she was beheaded. Just so you know how close all these events are and the whole "playtime is over " is because she was an abused child with no support
I absolutely love KH but it's always makes me a little sad that no one than talks about Parr and her life. Or even the others who went through so much. AB & KH get the most of the love, which it's fine to have favorites, but the others went through so much too. All of the Queens had such bad lives; CA was humiliated simply because her husband though another girl was prettier than her and wanted her more, she wasn't allowed to see her daughter and was completely abandoned by her husband. AB knew how to play the game, she was lucky enough to actually earn his interest for a while, but when she was unable to give him a son (something completely out of her control) he beheaded her and abused her daughter. JS luckily was actually loved, and she was able to give him a son, but she was unable to grow up with him, she died having been loved but unable to actually LIVE. AC had a somewhat better life, she was never killed, and actually out lived CP (if I'm correct) but she was humiliated as well, simply because she wasn't as pretty as a picture, it was also said that she was friends with KH (and some accounts say she was there when she was beheaded) KH had to deal with men abusing her and using her for their own desires. She was a child who thought she wasn't worth anything more than her body, she justed wanted to be loved by someone. She was beheaded with an axe (which is more brutal than a sword) and died having regrets about her life. CP had to give up her entire life just to not be killed, she pretended to be dumb just so she could stay alive. It's also said that she was young enough to have been named after one of the other Catherine's (I can't remember which) and when Henry finally died she tried to go back with her old love to find he was now trying to get with her step-daughter and at one point actually walked in on them embracing. None of them were remembered for who they really were, only for what Henry wanted from them. Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. That's all they are to history, and it's so sad to realize that even now, we only know a little bit about them from what was written and kept.
I watched all 3 parts and your reactions were fantastic ^_^ I love musicals and was annoyed at myself for not going to see this live when I could. Are you interested in just stage musicals or any musicals? Old or new? Because I've watched lots of older musicals too. I would recommend Easter parade, Annie get your gun, but I would also recommend the stage production of newsies and anything goes
The thing is Katherine and Dereham were GOING TO GET MARRIED, but Mannox got jelly and told the dowager duchess (Katherine's grandma I believe) so she sent him to Ireland. It also explains why she said "I know this is it", "This one's legit" and "I'm sure this time is different" instead of thinking it had a chance of being different; because it WAS different.
Fun fact the last song in the musical is them writing their own story with or without Henry cuz “ it’s their show and they can literally have whatever ending they want”
I haven't seen anyone comment on it but like... also... when Katherine H. met/got married to Henry she was around 17, and he was 48, I think?? late 40s at LEAST. Her whole life (basically, she died at around 18-19) was dominated by predatory men. She even said that her relationship with Thomas Culpepper wasn't consensual, was adamant about it 'till the end (the song touches on this as well). The one like.. vague saving grace is that apparently the entire court was weirded out by Henry's pursuit of Howard, at least according to some accounts. Still, not like they could stop him...
How is she so pretty!! Usually people with glasses don’t really look good like me but mostly they do But she’s so pretty!! She is VERY PRETTY o.O And she’s a good youtuber!! Btw I think some boys doubted girls could sing that good so I bet “SIX” made this to prove them wrong Or maybe I’m wrong :/ It’s the end of the show Of the historemix We switched up the flow And we changed the prefix Everybody knows that we use to be six wives~ Also I thought they died... how are they alive and singing right now? Sorry I’m dumb ;-;
Fun fact: the reason K.Howard uses words like enoughsies. Though while being a very sexual person. Is because(in the musical) is her way to deal with her childhood being ripped from her.
If you get a chance and haven’t seen it yet the Tower of London flash mob to Six was really good. It made me get all ready eyed seeing it. I really recommend it!!
'All You Wanna Do' made me straight up sob bc it hit way too close to home... I was 13 when I was sexually assaulted by two guys who were like 26 or older and I didn't really realize it until very recently and my family doesn't even believe me (I'm definitely oversharing but Idk what tf else to do with my emotions and trauma from the whole ordeal so oversharing my shit to strangers on the internet while talking about Six the Musical is better than nothing lmai)
i know it's been a year since this was uploaded, but! if you haven't already, you should watch Samantha Pauly's version of all you wanna do. she's really impressive :D
Katherine Howard was around 16 years of age when she married Henry the 8th (who was at the time 49 or 50) and was then beheaded at the age of seventeen. She was also related to Anne Boleyn somehow and was the maid of honour at Anne of Cleves wedding (some of these facts may not be 100% accurate this is just what I remember feel free to research further)
