I'm seeing so many people commenting on loads of American Six's accents and I get that its not what we are used to but I remember when it was first announced, they got flooded with comments saying they better not do an English accent. Pick a lane. Different doesn't mean bad, they killed it
I think it’s great that different places are keeping their own accents. The Sydney cast doesn’t sound that different from the og until you hear the line ‘everybody knows that we used to be six wives’. The Australian ‘o’ sound in ‘know’ was so prominent it was equally funny and amazing hearing it 😂
The Tudor accent sounded more like American English than modern British English. It’s stupid and ridiculous to complain about the accent for multiple reasons.
I love it. Anne of Cleves, a docile, homebody, German noblewoman, who barely ever spoke a sentence in English is rapping, twerking, grinding, and singing in gilded leather hot pants... ... ...and whether or not the American cast sounds English- that is their barometer of authenticity.
can we all shut up about the accents? each version of the song is great. and if you say ‘it’s not accurate’ then let’s be accurate. the diversity. henry’s wives were all pale. the outfits. that’s not 16th century clothes. again, everything about this cast is beautiful just like the old one. can we just be respectful and appreciate everyone?
I have watched all versions of this musical and in my opinion they're the best one. Their energy, voices, emotions, and attitude. Also, can we talk about their DANCING? I mean, they can DANCE.
Back at this because I love it, but everyone saying she should have a done an English accent is also incorrect. Cleves was from GERMANY and grew up there, therefore if she was going to do any accent it should be German. Plus, she absolutely killed this
The first one I saw live this cast and I downloaded soundtrack and it was the original! I love both. I love the soprano belting and I noticed the difference in words. I am Canadian so I didn’t actually know about the six wives, it’s not in our curriculum. I learned a lot though and both casts make it very interesting
I love them, i love them so much. Their dynamic as a group was unmatched. Nothing i love more than the two Ann(e)(a)’s are the same height. And everyone is relatively the same height 😂
my dude i think it’s more to do with how the songs were written for English accents and so the American versions don’t work as well with certain rhymes
@@pialestrange5826 okay Anne was German okay. But in tudor England, English people had accents that were similar to the American. Which fun fact is why Shakespeare is better read by an American person. British people lost that accent around the time of industrial revolution.
@@mydude6309 you are right: elizabeth i would have sounded like someone currently living in virginia. however, that's not common knowledge - it would confuse most people if the west end show had american accents, even if it was more historically accurate. the show, to an extent, isn't focused on being historically accurate either; it incorporates modern slang, a dating-app-thing and text messaging - it would only make sense for a modern english accent to be used. also, when broadway shows travel over to the west-end, it's common that the british production will use american accent (for example: heathers). so when the opposite occurs, it's almost offensive to not return the favour, especially with such a blatantly english show.
Where is this? It says mall of America but it also says Broadway, so is this at mall of America in Minneapolis because if so, I don't live that far away and would have loved to see them perform.
It’s ironic that English people used to call Ann of Cleves the Ugly Queen. Hopefully she’s in The Great Beyond laughing at the fact that 500 years later Ann of Cleves got the best deal as Queen of England. 🎼🎶 Get Down 💃🏽👸🏼💃🏽👸🏻💃🏽
