I recently got to see Six the musical on Broadway, and it was AMAZING! It was definitely one of my bucket list shows to see, and I'm so glad to have crossed it off! Here's a little piece of fan art of Miss Green Sleeves herself!

u know there's really something fascinating to me about SIX the musical re: the concept of "freeing" someone or being able to change their identity in some substantial way based on how you remember them after they're gone.

Like, the whole concept of the show is that the six wives of Henry VIII are back and they're a girl group now, right? This is never really... explained. It's the nature of the show that it's never explained. They can talk about how they died onstage, but they don't really explain how they came back or why they're a girl group now or whatever.

Until you get to the song SIX. And it's like a weird... catch-22 paradoxical thing, but it clicks into place, right? This is the explanation. This song, where they make up fantasy versions of what their lives would be like if they had happy endings, culminates in them coming together as a girl band. This is the timeline we've been in for the whole show: the one where none of them had anything to do with Henry, and instead found their freedom through music, where they became a girl group instead of queens.

They, like, speak themselves into existence, basically? In the remix part of "I Don't Need Your Love," they literally say "It's not what went down in history, but tonight I'm singing this for me." It's like a... like this concept of... they reclaimed their story so hard that they created a new reality, one where they're all safe and happy in the modern world. And it doesn't make any sense, because on some level they know it's not true. They know that they only have this version of themselves for as long as they're onstage--they even say near the end, "for five more minutes, we're SIX." The magic of bringing fantasy to reality only lasts for as long as you're telling the story, and then reality comes back.

I don't know, I don't have anything coherent about this. But it's really interesting to me. It comes across as very reminiscent of Beowulf, to me, in that kind of matryoshka doll effect of preserving a story being the only way to honor and remember someone. As long as we remember that the Six Queens were real people and not just Henry VIII's accessories, that part of them still, like, exists. Idk? But it's super interesting to me.
