Six Musical - Don't Lose Your Head (Reaction!) : Behind the Curve Reacts 

Hey everyone! I just want to announce that I just reacted to this whole show. And it's available in it's entirety on my Patreon. Link in the description. I'd love to upload it here, but that's kind of the reason the last channel got deleted lol. Thank you all so much :)

Yessss! For a really short musical this one's really high quality.

I love how Andrea doesn’t make Anne sound like an opera singer and just has fun with it.

The play doesn't get too far into the details of who's who and how everything happened - it was written for a British audience, so most of the facts that you get tend to be closer to interesting, lesser known things? What you should really know to get the basic understanding of SIX's structure is the "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived" that describes how Henry VIII got rid of his wives. You should definitely listen to more of the songs, they are fantastic - each of the queens has their own & a few more group numbers.

God this may be a hot take but she's my favorite Boleyn,,, maybe because I saw her live? But seriously, she's so cute, her energy is through the ROOF, and I love her voice, and I just GOD I love her.

Honestly I love Andrea sm, she’s my fave queen out of all casts ever. Her energy, acting and singing are literal perfection for Boleyn

I’m always torn between being angry at this song because of all the historical inaccuracies or loving it because it’s such a bop

7:00 to 7:15 ALWAYS give me chills. The harmony, tone, and overall control is just amazing.

I’ve seen this live and I loved it, and you’re right. This is the third song, so you’ve missed a bit of british context. This is meant to be Anne Bolynn (can’t remember how to spell it 😂), his second wife. She’s the reason Henry split England from the Catholic Church (he wanted to marry her and the Church wouldn’t give him a divorce from his first wife). She was the first of his wives to be beheaded. In the UK we have a rhyme to remember his the order of wives. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived). If you wanna keep going I’d suggest you start with the opening number - Ex-Wives 😊 Great reaction btw!

Pls pls pls listen to the Broadway Katherine Howard performance (her song is called All You Wanna Do) it's so good surprising profound, highly recommend Love ur reactions btw, can't wait for ur next starkid musical

Irony regarding Henry VIII: he wanted a son to carry on his legacy, yet his two daughters actually continued his legacy!

The way I can’t find this video anymore and I’m so sad because it’s my favorite version of this song because I love how it was performed 😭😭😭😭

The easy way to remember there fates is a rhyme (that is also incorporated in the musical really well): divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, behead, survived

"I hate it when musicals make me feel dumb." Same man, same 😂🙁

Six was supposed to open on Broadway the same week in March that the shutdown happened. My kids and I had tickets to see it at the end of March. It’s a super fun show.

2:00 The sarcasm is real and I love it

I would highly recommend Katherine Howard’s song “all you wanna do”, she was Henry’s fifth wife, and the song details her life in a very clear but heartbreaking way! You might find it easier to understand than don’t lose your head.

As a Swede I never ever learned about Henry VIII in school so SIX was my introduction to theese people and their lives and made me look up so much more!

I'm inclined to think Anne Boleyn actually won the Tudor court in terms of her legacy. Cleves came out on top in the moment, but between the Church of England and Elizabeth I...

Mr Curve Man: I don't know much about the kings Horrible Histories: Would you like a little ditty about all the English kings and queens since William I that there have been? And to answer one of your questions, there's a poem about the six queens that goes - divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Anne (Boleyn) was the first queen to be beheaded and Katherine (Howard) was the other queen to be beheaded. They were both beheaded for their promiscuity, Anne cheating on Henry and Katherine doing the do out of wedlock, while Catherine (of Aragon) was divorced because Henry wanted to be with Anne (Boleyn) and Anne (of Cleves) was divorced because Henry thought she was ugly. Finally, Jane (Seymour) died just days after giving birth to her son and Katherine (Parr) outlived Henry. Couple of weird things that you'll notice about his marriages: half of his wives died (Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Katherine Howard) while their marriage was still active, half of his wives were related (the same three previously mentioned, they were all cousins/second-cousins), half of his wives had children (Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour), and half of his wives were called C/Katherine

Andrea is seriously my fav Anne. She just plays it SO well

I love SIX. Especially don't lose your head

This is my fave song from this musical! So happy to see your reaction to it 😀👍🏻

The Context : Basically when Henry the VIII was still married to Katherine of Aragon his first wife he fell in love with Anne Boleyn and decided to try to divorce Katherine of Aragon by making his own Church and divorcing Katherine and Marrying Anne in the process and Henry wanted a Son to be next Heir but Katherine Aragon can't have another child since they already have Mary also known as Bloody Mary and after Henry Married Anne they got busy and soon Anne was pregnant but only gave birth to a girl AHEM Queen Elizabeth the I Anne had the choice to make Elizabeth forfeit the throne or Elizabeth still gets to be Queen by the cost of Anne's life of being Beheaded and so she had to sacrifice herself for her dear Daughter Elizabeth the I and so Henry had to make a Rumor on how she flirted with some other men and being involved in incest with her own brother as an excuse to execute her but at least that's how I remembered it

Definitely my favorite Anne Boleyn! My only real preference between the different casts

Andrea probably my favorite Anne. That last note gets me every time 👌🏻👌🏻

I love that she’s wearing green sleeves

(3 weeks late but) The context is given within the musical itself - they provide just enough exposition and context for even someone who doesn't know a second of the history of Henry VIII and his wives to know what's going on (like me - I walked into this musical knowing nothing and now thanks to falling straight down the rabbithole I know a lot more about the history than most people). If you're going to listen to more Six, the song Ex-Wives gives some of the exposition you'll need for the other songs. And finally - you, my good sir, have just earned yourself a sub. Looking forward to seeing some of your future content!

They do, they even use the child rhyme that, as an American with very limited knowledge of the subject, I think school children use to keep them all strait, “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived,” she the first one who got beheaded, so the song is about the comedic irony of “don’t loose your head,” since that’s what exactly what happened to her.

Check out the west end cast of Six’s performance at the Olivier awards, it’s a mashup of the opening number and the finale and should give you some extra context of the show and the wives themselves, plus the video and audio quality is a lot better in that performance 😊

You should react to the song Ex-Wives from SIX as it explains a lot more 🙂

I’ve actually been meaning to watch this show! This song has been the one recommended to me the most I hope you react to some of the other songs

What I love to do is look at the other queens. Cuz this song is such a fun choreography they all have such good facial expressions!!

The original west end cast has a performance of this on a TV show that’s better quality cause it’s not a bootleg. You should watch especially since I actually like the West End cast more than the Broadway one.

Six! was supposed to open the day that broadway shut down. I certainly hope they get to open in 2021.

Six was actually in previews earlier this year for about a month, and then the Broadway shut down was announced on their opening night so they never got to officially open 😭😭

if you plan on listening to more of six, i would recommend that you listen to the songs in order, just so there's a bit more context :)

I hope someone filled you in. Song is so good when you know a little of the background. Here’s a very watered down quick explanation, just in case. Henry VIII wanted Anne Boleyn so bad but the Pope wouldn’t let him get divorced. His first wife wouldn’t give him an annulment, so Henry split from the Roman Catholics & formed COE (Church of England…Protestant) basically making himself the head of the Church. So Anne Boleyn had a HUGE IMPACT on history! Oh and Anne Boleyn was the mother of Queen Elisabeth 👑 I hated history in HS but love it now. Hope it helped a little.

the thing with six is that it started on the west end and here in england we have to learn about henry viii in primary school so most people are at least familiar with the 'divorced beheaded died divorced beheaded survived' thing even if they dont know anything else

@ the beginning of the video: The broadway show "Six" was supposed to open march 12th, the same day the theatre district announced the immediate broadway shut down!

This is my favorite of the casts - and my favorite Anne Boleyn ❤

I saw the show in its first week. The playbill has a page that tells a brief run down of each woman, so you get a little bit of context

Jane looks so happy when anne is about to die

Yes If you watch the whole show they explain better what happened to all of them

Waittttt yassssss I love this musical!!!!

I love this song but I much prefer Millie O'Connell's version...i also always find it really weird with non British accents haha EDIT if you want more context in the show listen to Ex Wives which is the opening song and basically sums up the whole story

THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARAGON AND ANNE IS HILARIOUS 😅

She’s my favourite

3:48 that is a proud sis you have on the upper right😂

Personally this is my least favourite six song (unpopular opinion) because it portrays Anne Boleyn as a ditz and kind of silly rather than it being as deep as some of the other songs. There is a really cool version of Ex-Wives/Six that was done in lockdown though which involved the West end, Broadway, Australian, uk tour and cruise ship casts all coming together

This was fun!

Quick history session: Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII second wife and was accused of adultery and incest and was given two choices. die and her daughter Elizabeth l, gets to become queen or live and Elizabeth forfeits the right to the Frome. So Anne Boleyn chose death. Intern giving Britain one of our greatest monarchs. She says you're welcome by the way. Also her and the first queen (Catherine of Aragon) were both with King Henry at the same time.

I would like to see you react to the other Queens of this musical.

This musical is for US audiences what Assassins was for british ones; the context is very tied to general local culture... Anyway, you should really watch the West End version (it's pretty easy to find bootlegs). It's sooo good!

you should react to the whole musical song by song with animatics! there is some exposition between songs but most of it is explained in the songs on their own

You should check out their Olivier performance

I like this version of the song best

Their opening night was supposed to be the day that Broadway shut down

In my opinion shes a little to squeaky but shes still good but squeaky

❤❤love it❤❤

please continue with the falsettos reaction

i cant stop watching this h e l p

Does anybody have a link to this performance

We need a react of the whole show!!!!

You should react to hamilton if you haven’t already!!

I'm guessing this isn't an official authorized recording you're reacting to. 😂

Who saw an ad for hybrid cars

5:45 it the best part

❤❤❤❤❤

I’m so unused to the US version that accents were distracting me! I love Millie the most but this Anne is so adorable!

Millie O'Connell's version is amazing! I never watched this version all the way through, but I like her characterization. This is a really good musical. Highly recommended!

Anyone have a link to the clip shown? I can't find it anymore.

If you want to learn a bit about Henry VIII, you could see if you could try to find a Showtime series called The Tudors, which ran from 2007-2010. In the first episode, Henry nearly dies in an accident; he realizes that if he were to die without a male heir, England could be plunged into chaos. This becomes an obsession of his, and he and a bunch of other people end up doing a bunch of horrible things as a result.

Anne's story in this song is only half of the story about her and how it kind off went down really. in fact she wanted to marry someone else who is also named Henry but her family didn't approve even when they tried to elope, she was caught and sent to France to learn from the Queen. only then did she com back and she started to seduce the king. this is just a bit about her, and her life didn't last long after she got married to king Henry. she promised him a son which drove him to split the last option to making his own church, and when she cant give him a son, it went to shit.

Who's know when I can find this performance? I think that isn't in describton

I cant find that exact video

Didn’t they change Anne’s character with a new actor

I like more milly O'Connell for anne

Anne Boylen was framed for cheating even tho she didn’t btw 2 people got Beheaded so ya.

You should listen to the other actress she is amazing and I personally like her the best

I like her characterisation a lot but her singing doesn’t do it for me. There’s chunks that are really hard to understand and I know the song.

I mean I’m starting to like it a little more but I still like the other one more but I do like this ones sarcasm and jokes!

guys name henry like :(

Millie O'Connell's version is my favorite :)

U should check out the original version ( the British one )

Frankly this performance is faultless. There's no critiquing the way she sings acts, performs this. And yeah - better learn the her-story first..... If you want to critique/ react to something, better learn what it is first.

Asian version

You LITERALLY didn't say a single thing throughout the entirety of the song, made a grand total of 3 sounds and maybe like 4 expressions in total. I'm not usually one to leave negative comments like this, but in this case actually: major disrespect to you and what you do. Quit making these or stop being a leach and actually add some commentary.

😮😮 😮 Context? How much more context do you need?!?! This is History101! 😮😮😮 I don’t think your own lack of knowledge is a legitimate criticism of the show- any more than it would be the show’s issue if you didn’t know basic arithmetic or how to count to 6. Not attempting to attack your lack of knowledge in this area, however, it is unusually low as you have acknowledged. It is really more a personal development issue for you to remedy than a valid show critique to put on RU-vid.

Who cares about that guy? Ann is more interesting.

Yeah that ain’t Ann from six queens

That’s not the real version

bro that isnt acctually six thats some peaple trying to be them unless she turned weird but ok?

Just me are not I don’t like this boylen...the only thing I don’t like about her is the voice....not being rude are anything I just dislike this one.you should rescue to a different boylen
