Six The Musical: Megamix Cover/Open/
Project Overview
I've been in love with the musical six for a while, Because I don't have friends who enjoy musicals/Acting/singing, I thought why not do a CCC. If you don't know what Six is about:
The show opens with the Queens performing an opening number in pop-concert, girl-group fashion that introduces themselves and welcomes the audience to the performance ("Ex-Wives"). They address the crowd through means of breaking the fourth wall and tell them that this show will feature a competition, and whoever had the "biggest load of B.S." to deal with from the man who married them, Henry VIII, will be the one to lead the group. Catherine of Aragon starts off and recounts her marriage to Henry and later annulment, and almost being put into a nunnery when he began lusting after Anne Boleyn ("No Way"). When Aragon claims that she is the winner, the other Queens mention Anne and how she overlapped with Aragon during the former's marriage, resulting in said annulment, and Anne recounts her time as Queen with Henry and her eventual execution ("Don't Lose Ur Head"). Jane Seymour then announces it's her turn to recount what she put up with, but the other Queens mock her for not having as much to deal with as, in her words, she was "the only one he truly loved". Seymour admits that while she may have been lucky for not having to suffer at his hand, she still stood by him throughout all his faults ("Heart of Stone").
The story then shifts as the Queens are suddenly turned into members of Hans Holbein's painting studio, talking about how they make the women he paints look beautiful for portraits. In a set-up parodying Tinder (or another similar dating site) they present three women: Christina of Denmark, Amalia of Cleves, and Anna of Cleves,[a] Amalia's elder sister. When Henry "swipes right", so to speak, on Anna, they all assume he will marry Anna and they will be happily married ("Haus of Holbein/Haus of Holbein Playoff"). Of course, their union is ultimately ill-fated as he rejects Anna, and she pretends to make a big deal about how she is then forced to live in a beautiful palace in Richmond as a result, though she's not really complaining ("Get Down"). After the Queens point out Cleves' life doesn't sound that difficult, Cleves says "Oh, well, back to the palace". As Katherine Howard is next to go, the Queens belittle her for being "the least relevant Catherine", but Howard retaliates by mentioning flaws in the other Queens' reasons for winning. She then recounts her life and the men who hurt her, leading into her marriage to Henry and eventual beheading ("All You Wanna Do").
When the Queens get into a massive fight about who should win the title of lead singer by comparing their Henry-related traumas, Catherine Parr puts a stop to it, questioning if being remembered solely for being Henry's wives – rather than by what they actually did as Queens – is the true way to win, telling her story in the process ("I Don't Need Your Love"). They slowly but surely agree with her and sing proudly that they don't need the love of Henry to feel validated as people ("I Don't Need Your Love (Remix)"). With only five minutes left in the show after the fact, they decide to use their remaining moments on stage to "rewrite" the stories they told, and sing for themselves for a change, singing together as a group rather than as solo artists, and writing their own happily ever after ("Six").
In all of the live performances of the show as of July 2019, the Queens perform an encore number that isn't featured on the Original Cast Recording, which is a mashup of all the songs performed in the show (minus "Haus of Holbein") called "Megasix". Coincidentally, this is the only song allowed to be recorded during a live performance, and the Queens encourage the audience to film the song, which brings the concert feel of the show full circle, as it's normally seen as disrespectful to film theatrical performances.
