Womens Jane Seymour Costume Dress SIX The Musical Cosplay Outsuit Top Skirt for Musical Performance Halloween

Product Information

Haus of Holbein" has the line "You bring the corsets, we'll bring the cinches / No one wants a waist over nine inches". During the 16th century, the corset was not actually used to cinch the waist—rather, it was used to mold the torso into a more cylindrical shape and raise the bustline. The extreme tight-lacing to create a tiny waist didn't become fashionable until the 19th century. Deconstruction: "All You Wanna Do" does this to Katherine Howard's typical portrayal as a promiscuous seducer of older men, by pointing out the fact that Katherine was a child when these adult men had these sexual relationships with her. Katherine initially reminisces on her sexual history with some fondness, but as the song progresses she grows increasingly uncomfortable and her trauma is fully realised by the end of it. Moss studied history at Cambridge and says much of her schoolwork centered around early modern German visual culture. Six actually includes a standalone song, “ Haus of Holbein,” that satirizes 16th-century beauty culture and Henry’s portrait-driven search for a fourth wife: “Hans Holbein goes around the world / Painting all of the beautiful girls / From Spain / To France / And Germany / The king chooses one / But which one will it be?”

Fille Fatale: Deconstructed and played for tragedy with Katherine Howard. For all her promiscuity and flirtatiousness, at the end of the day she's a teenage girl who adult men use as a sex object. By the time she marries Henry, all she really wants is a friend, and she's heartbroken when she realizes Thomas Culpeper is only nice to her because he's trying to sleep with her. You might think Catherine of Aragon's loyalty ultimately lies with Henry, but really it's with God and the Catholic Church. She believed herself to be the one true Queen of England and wife of Henry VIII, all the way to the bitter end.

Catherine Parr’s Costume

Six the Musical Wives 1-3: Historical and Modern Costume Inspirations ; Six the Musical Wives 4-6: Historical and Modern Costume Inspirations Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: Invoked. Catherine Parr notes at one point that she, unlike Henry, managed to make it through several marriages without beheading anyone. She awards herself a gold star for it.

Good Bad Girl: Heavily played with. Katherine Howard historically had this kind of reputation, but the show makes it explicit that it's because she's been sexually abused by older men since she was a teenager. Overall, she's treated as a sympathetic figure and a decent human being. The biggest moment of this trope comes near the end of the show, where they lament to each other about how "awesome it would have been" to reclaim their stories by singing about it. Cue all the queens slowly and smugly turning towards the audience. In American productions, Aragon says "I hit that high C". In productions outside of the US, the line is "I hit that top C". During an interview note Around 9:30, Andrea Macasaet has stated that in the Broadway production, "If you're paying real close attention, you see us trying to make each other laugh." invoked Boleyn: (fake sobbing) Ohh, mistresses, poor y— GET OVER IT! I've had not one, not two, but THREE... miscarriages!Paid for with my own pounds note riches / Where my dogs note hounds at, release the hounds note bitches." Gratuitous Foreign Language: Anne Boleyn grew up in the French court, so she sprinkles a few French lines in her song "Don't Lose Ur Head". Catherine of Aragon, shipped over from Spain, slips in some Spanish words into her speeches before and after her solo. The show also uses a lot of Gratuitous German between three songs; during Anna of Cleves' verse in "Ex-Wives", all throughout "Haus of Holbein", and a few lines in Anna of Cleves' solo "Get Down". Comically Missing the Point: Anne Boleyn assumes that the lesson to be taken from the show is that "Jane can't dance". Whether this is a manifestation of her It's All About Me personality or Obfuscating Stupidity is up to the audience. I’ll point out a few of the different hairstyles here, but for the most part, I plan to just talk about the different elements of the alternate costumes - which queens they came from, etc. Heart of Stone", a tearjerker power ballad, is smooshed in between the darkly hilarious "Don't Lose Ur Head" and the over-the-top "Haus of Holbein". This can lead to an… odd listening experience, at least until you're used to it.
