I’m honestly so confused about how the alternate schedule in Six works. Like, do they have their own dates? How many roles each alternate learns? Do they still have swings if one of the alternates can’t perform?

Hey anon

So Six is a bit confusing in regards to the alternates, and I am in no way a theatre expert so this is all just from what I’ve gathered. Please do feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Short answers:

1) Yes (except for Collette who is a swing not an alternate)

2) 6 for Collette, Courtney and Vicki, 2 for Shekinah

3) They put Collette on

Long answers:

Vicki, Courtney and Shekinah are the current west end alternates for Six, and the reason they’re called alternates and not understudies/swings is mainly because they have scheduled dates to go on, which they usually release every month on Twitter and instagram. Previously, every alternate (which was then Grace, Vicki and Courtney) would know all six roles, although how familiar they would be with these roles completely depended on whether or not the roles were the alternates first, second or third cover. For example, Vicki’s first covers were Cleves and Boleyn so she would obviously be much more comfortable playing those queens than Aragon or Seymour since they were her third covers. Although Courtney and Vicki were never scheduled for their third covers until very recently (Courtney is going to make her Howard debut Saturday I believe?) Grace basically could do any role at any time, since she was the only swing for the tour cast and therefore was pretty familiar with all the roles. While, the production tried their best to stick to her first covers of Howard and Seymour/Aragon*, but Grace did go on as Cleves a few times despite it being her third cover. Again, the cover system mattered a bit less to Grace as she was more familiar with all the roles having previously been the swing.

*Grace used to be first cover Seymour but switched with Courtney to be first cover Aragon.

Obviously Grace has now left the production and that’s thrown the order of who goes on for what into question. Shekinah is only an alternate for Aragon and Cleves, and does not know the other queens at all. So that must mean that Vicki isn’t first cover for Cleves any more and Courtney isn’t first cover for Aragon.

From what I understand, Collette is not an alternate. She is a swing, just like Grace during the tour run of the show. A swing is trained to go on as any queen and will know each role equally well, again unlike say Vicki who obviously knows Boleyn and Cleves the best since those are her first covers. Collette also doesn’t really have scheduled dates, but rather covers for the main queens if they get sick unexpectedly or goes on if something happens to an alternate who was due to be on that day.

(Also there’s like,,,a bit of a weird by-product of the cover system where Courtney and Vicki are only the alternate queens for certain roles. For example, Vicki was alternate Boleyn but only an swing for say Parr, and Courtney is alternate Seymour but only a swing for Cleves. The rule is, if they’re first cover for a queen then they’re considered the alternate version of that queen, but if it’s a second or third cover then they’re the swing/understudy for that role. Although most people will just call any role Vicki or Courtney do an alternate role to save confusion)

Have Nick and Callie ever had like a knock down drag out fight or argument (not Literally ) that has angered them or pissed them off so much....other than what we have read so far?

oh yeah. like, more than a few times 😂 they’re totally the couple that will scream at one another, tell each other to fuck off, ignore each other for a few days, but they always rubber-band back to one another. but the way i see it, if you’re still arguing, you still care about the relationship c: 

that, or my trauma has shaped me to be more tolerant of fighting ha

Am I being stupid or is the Courtney Boleyn bit missing from the post? But omgggg you have such an amazing way of interpreting the characters like you just notice stuff I could never pick up on but it’s so accurate wow

Thank you anon, this means so much to me what the hell 😭😭😭 I’m honestly so so glad people actually like my analysis posts, because I’m always so worried that I’ll come off as too pretentious or looking too deep into things. So messages like these really mean a lot to me.

And yes, I didn’t do Courtney Boleyn. I felt it wasn’t right to try and post an analysis of her character that I 100 percent didn’t believe in myself. I’d much rather come back to it some other day when I have opinions that I can back up and feel passionate about, you know?

I'm curious what is your Myers-Briggs personality type?

Hello! This may disappoint you, but I’m not a fan of MBTI. I understand the concept, theory, and why people enjoy it. It just isn’t something for me. People are so vastly different in a number of ways, and even the categories that are there don’t properly define everyone at any given moment.

I’ve taken the test several times, and even variations of it. I’ve researched all the different types and there are aspects of each that I can relate to, but there isn’t a single one that completely defines me. 

Which makes sense. People don’t fit neatly into things. 

I, personally, am not interested in other people’s personality types, and am more interested in their actions and what they actually do versus their metaphorical ones that their personality type could do.  

Your experience can differ from mine. If you are interested in MBTI then I think that’s awesome, and even cool. It’s fun and can even be entertaining to look into. 

It just isn’t for me. And that’s okay.
