Six: The Musical Script (West End)

By Toby Marlow, Lucy Moss

Characters:

CATHERINE OF ARAGON The Queen who lasted the longest, and (in her opinion) was the strongest. As
far as s he is concerned, she was the only rightful Queen of England and stayed that way until the end of her
life. This fi ery Spanish Queen was fierce, firm, and took no BS from anyone - least of all her troublesome
husband. Pop ins piration: Beyonce, J-Lo, Shakira.

ANNE BOLEYN Depicted most often as a "deceitful temptress" by historians and storytellers alike, Henry's
seco nd wife has been the subject of the most speculation and mythologizing. Our Anne, however, playfully
defies th ese aspersions on her character. She is a bubbly, fun-loving gal who only wanted to snog a sexy guy
and then s uddenly the entire religiopolitical landscape of England is in turmoil and everyone's losing their
heads over it. P op inspiration: Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne

JANE SEYMOUR The Queen who finally succeeded in producing an heir to the Tudor dynasty and,
conveniently
enough, she is also the one who Henry claimed was the only wife he 'truly loved'. But although Jane might at fi
rst seem a bit of a pushover - lovably earnest, always a beat behind the rest, and with a real zeal for bad jokes
- she's steadfast, loving, and deep down as fierce as any other Queen. Pop inspiration: Adele, Emeli Sande,
Sia.

ANNA OF CLEVES Exuberant, eccentric, and effortlessly cool, Anna of Cleves is the Queen who secretly
won hist ory. At age twenty-four she found herself cast aside by the ageing King and was forced to spend the
rest of her life living in an enormous palace, without a single man around to tell her how to spend her copious
dollar. She could not be happier she came out of her short-lived relationship with Henry so successfully. Pop
inspiration: Ri hanna, Nicki Minaj, Charli XCX

KATHERINE HOWARD The youngest Queen, and perhaps the one with the most tragic story. Babyfaced
but sha rp tongued, she knows how to get ahead. She's funny, charismatic, and enchanting. But beneath the
surface of her 'flirtatious' exterior lies a complex young woman. Pop inspiration: Ariana Grande, Britney

CATHERINE PARR Probably history's most overlooked, undersold Tudor Queen.But a life of hardship and
heart break shaped her into a truly remarkable person. A prolific author and protofeminist, she championed
female i ndependence and stood up to the king for what she believed in - no
matter the danger. She is smart, soulful, and warm - with a story that goes far beyond her status as simply 'the
survivor'. Pop inspiration: Alicia Keys, Emeli Sande, Jorja Smith

[ Song : Six ]

Divorced.
Beheaded
Died.
Divorced.
Beheaded.
Survived.
 And tonight, (city name), we are…

Live!

Listen up, let me tell you a story.

A story that you think you’ve heard before.
We know you know our names and our fame and our faces.
Know all about the glories and the disgraces.
I’m done ‘cause all this time,
I’ve been just one word in a stupid rhyme.
So I picked up a pen and a microphone.

History’s about to get overthrown.

Divorced.
Beheaded.
Died.
Divorced.
Beheaded.
Survived.

But just for you tonight,

We’re divorced, beheaded, live!
Welcome to the show, to the historemix.
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives.
Raising up the roof, till we hit the ceiling.
Get ready for the truth that we’ll be revealing.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives…
But now we’re
Ex-wives.

(City name) make some noise!

All you ever hear and read about
Is our ex and the way it ended.

But a pair doesn’t beat a royal flush.

You’re gonna find out how he got unfriended.
Tonight, we’re gonna do ourselves justice.
‘Cause we’re taking you to court.
Every Tudor Rose has its thorns,
And you’re gonna hear ‘em live: in consort.

Divorced.
Beheaded.
Died.
Divorced.
Beheaded.
Survived.

But just for you tonight,

We’re divorced, beheaded, live!
Welcome to the show, to the historemix;
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives.
Dancing to the beat till the break of day, once
We’re done, we’ll start again
Like it’s the Renai-ssance.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives…
But now we’re
Ex-wives.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Remember us from your GCSEs.

Divorced.

My name’s Catherine of Aragon,

Was
married twenty-four years
I’m a paragon of royalty.
My loyalty is to the Vatican,
So if you try to dump me
You won’t try that again.
Beheaded.

I’m that Boleyn girl, and I’m up next.

See, I broke England from the church.
Yeah, I’m that sexy.
Why did I lose my head?
Well, my sleeves may be green,
But my lipstick’s red.
Died.

Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved.

Rude.

When my son was newly born, I died.

But I’m not what I seem
Or am I?
Stick around and you’ll suddenly see more.

Divorced.

Ich bin Anna of Cleves.

Ja.

When he saw my portrait, he was like—

Ja.

But I didn’t look as good as I did in my pic.

Funny how we all discuss that
But never Henry’s little-

Prick up your ears, I’m the Katherine

Who lost her head.

Beheaded.

For my promiscuity outside of wed.

Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons.
K. Howard is here and the fun’s begun.

Survived.

Five down, I’m the final wife.

I saw him to the end of his life.
I’m the survivor, Catherine Parr.
I bet you wanna know how we got this far.
I said, I bet you wanna know he got this far.

Do you wanna know how we got this far?

Then, welcome to the show, to the historemix;
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives.
Turn the beat up, get this party buzzing.
You want a queen bee, well, there’s half a dozen.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives.
But now we’re
Ex-wives.
One, two, three, four, five, six!

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: But there’s only one you need to hear from tonight. (C ity
name), I’m about to win this competition. Maria, give me a beat.
( Maria gives her a beat )

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: So, since the day I arrived in England, let’s just say my faith had
been tested on more than one occasion. First things first, I w as shipped off from Spain on the night
of my sweet sixteen to marry some pr ince called Arthur and I’m like “okay”. But then Arthur died,
so naturally I’m imprisoned for seven years. Really helped with the grieving process, yo u know, but
I’m still like, “okay.” But thank God they rescued me just in t ime to marry Prince Henry… my dead
husband’s brother. Okay, so I’m thinking “bit weird”, but if you’d seen him back in the summer of
‘09. Let me tell y ou he was okay. So seven years later, we’re still trying for an heir. He’s trying
really hard and I’m like “okay”, and he starts coming come late. “I was just out with my ministers!”
But there’s lipstick on his ruff. And I’m like “okay”. Suddenly, he wants to annul our marriage, move
some side check into my palace and move me into a convent! Now, now, now, now, I just don’t think
I’d look that good in a wimple, so I’m like “No way.”

[SONG: NO WAY]
You must agree that, baby,
In all the time I’ve been by your side,
I’ve never lost control
No matter how many times I knew you lied.
Have my golden rule,
Got to keep my cool.
Yeah, baby.

You know she’s gotta keep her cool.

And even though you’ve had your fun,

Running around with some

Pretty, young thing.

And even though you’ve had one son

With someone who don’t own a

Wedding ring.

No matter what I heard,

I didn’t say a word.
No, baby.

You know she never said a word.

I’ve put up with your

Sh...

Like every single day.

Woah, woah.

But now it’s time to

Shh,

And listen when I say...

You must think that I’m crazy,
You wanna replace me, baby there’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

If you think for a moment,

I’d grant you annulment, just hold up there’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

No way.
No way.
There’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

No way.
No way.
There’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

There’s no way.
So you read a bible verse that I’m cursed ‘cause I was your brother’s
wife, You say it’s a pity ‘cause quoting leviticus
I’ll end up kiddy-less all my life.
Well, daddy, won’t you there
When I gave birth to Mary?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Oh, you don’t remember?

Daughters are so easy to forget.

You’re just so full of

Sh...

Must think I’m naive.

Woah, woah.

I won’t back down,

Won’t

Shh,

And no, I’ll never leave

You must think that I’m crazy,
You wanna replace me, baby there’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

If you thought it’d be funny

To send me to a nunnery, honey, there’s
No way.
No way.
No way.

There’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.
No way.
No way.

There’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

There’s no way.

Let’s go, girls!

Woo!
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Hey, give it up for Maria on the drums!

You’ve got me down on my knees,

Please tell me what you think I’ve done wrong.
Been humble, been loyal,
I’ve tried to swallow my pride all along.
If you could just explain a single thing I’ve done to
‘cause you pain, I’ll go…
No?

You’ve got nothing to say?

I’m not going away,
There’s no way.
You must think that I’m crazy,
You wanna replace me, baby there’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

You made me your wife,

So I’ll be queen till the end of my life!

N-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no—

No way.

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no—

No way.

N-n-n-n-n-no, no no no no, no, no way.

No way.
No way.

There’s

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no way.

There’s no way!

[END SONG]
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: So clearly, I had the most to deal with from the king. And I hit
that top C so you know, donde está my crown?
KATHERINE HOWARD: Hang on a sec. Who was that other one?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: I think you’re thinking of me!

JANE SEYMOUR: No, there was definitely a really important one.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Yeah, still me!

CATHERINE PARR: Yeah. I think she, like, overlapped with you.

ANNE OF CLEVES: Yeah, the really important, controversial one that people a ctually care
about.
JANE SEYMOUR: Yeah. You know… The one you’ve been waiting for.

Queens: The one you’ve been waiting for.

KATHERINE HOWARD: The mystery,

ANNE OF CLEVES: The one who changed history.

Queens: History,

ANNE OF CLEVES: The one who changed history, mystery,

Queens: The temptress.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: The one with the plan, The plan to steal the man!
Queens: Anne!

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: The one who chased the king,

JANE SEYMOUR: But paid the price with a swordsman’s swing.

Queens (sung): Will she be the one to win?

Anne Boleyn, Anne Boleyn, Anne Boleyn, Anne Boleyn, Anne Boleyn, Anne Boleyn, Anne Boleyn!

ANNE BOLEYN: What? Oh… sorry.

( She points to Maggie and she gives her a beat )

[ SONG : DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD ]

Grew up in the French court,

Oui oui, bonjour.
Life was a chore so

She set sail.

1522,
Came straight to the UK.
All the British dudes, lame.

Epic fail.

I wanna dance and sing.

Politics?

Not my thing.
But then I met the king.
And soon my daddy said,
“You should try and get ahead.”
He wanted me,
Obviously.
Kept messaging me, like, everyday.
Couldn’t be better,
Then he sent me a letter, and
Who am I kidding?
I was prêt à manger.

Ooh.

Sent a reply,

Ooh.

Just saying ‘Hi’,

Queens: Ooh.

You’re a nice guy.

I’ll think about it, maybe,
XO, baby.

Uh oh!

Here we go.

You sent him kisses!

I didn’t know I would move in with his missus!

What?

Get a life!
You’re living with his wife.

Like, what was I meant to do?

Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said.
I’m just trying to have some fun.
Don’t worry, don’t worry,
Don’t lose your head.
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
LOL,
Say ‘oh well’,
Or go to hell.
I’m sorry, not sorry, ‘bout what I said,
Don’t lose your head.

Three in the bed,

And the little one said,
“If you wanna be wed,

Make up your mind.”

Her or me, chum.

Don’t wanna be some girl in a threesome.

Are you blind?

Don’t be bitter,

Ooh.

‘Cause I’m fitter.

Ooh.

Why hasn’t it hit her?

He doesn’t wanna bang you,
Somebody hang you.

Uh oh!

Here we go.

Your comment went viral.

I didn’t really mean it, but rumours spiral.

Wow, Anne, way to make the country hate you.

Mate, what was I meant to do?

Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said.
I’m just trying to have some fun.
Don’t worry, don’t worry,
Don’t lose your head.
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
LOL,
Say ‘oh well’,
Or go to hell.
Sorry, not sorry, ‘bout what I said,
Don’t lose your head.

Tried to elope,
But the pope said nope.
Our only hope was

Henry.

He got a promotion,
‘Caused a commotion,
Set in motion
The C of E.
The rules

Were so outdated,
Us two wanted to get x-rated.

Soon, excommunicated!

Everybody chill, it’s totes God’s will.

( “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner plays in a shortened, more rock version. It is interrupted by Anne )

ANNE BOLEYN: Hold up, let me tell you how it went down.

Henry’s out every night on the town,

Just sleeping around, like,

What the hell?

If that’s how it’s gonna be,

Maybe I’ll flirt with a guy or three

Just to make him jel.

Henry finds out and he goes mental.

He screams and shouts, like,

So judgemental.

“You damned witch,”

Mate,

Just shut up.

I wouldn’t be such a b…

( The other queens gasp to censor the word )

If you could get up.

Uh oh!

Here we go.

Is that what you said?

And now, he’s going ‘round like, “Off with her head!”

No...

Yeah, I’m pretty sure he means it.

Seems it.

What was I meant to do?

What was she meant to do?

Like, was I meant to do?

What was she meant to do?

No, but what was I meant to do?

What was she meant to do?

ANNE BOLEYN: No, guys, seriously, he’s actually gonna chop my head off! I m ean, I guess
he must’ve really liked my head… 5, 6, 7, 8!
Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said.
I’m just trying to have some fun.

Don’t worry, don’t worry,

Don’t lose your head!

I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

LOL,
Say ‘oh well’,
Or go to—

—Hell!
Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said.

Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what she said.

Sorry, not sorry, ‘bout what I said!

Don’t lose your head!

[ END SONG ]
ANNE BOLEYN: So yeah. What a weekend.

KATHERINE HOWARD: Wait, did you actually die?

ANNE BOLEYN:Yeah, it was so extra. Anyway, I’m obvs the winner, so I think I’ll do another
solo. My next song is one I wrote about the moment I found out Catherine of Aragon had
tragically died. It’s called “Wearing Yellow to a Funeral”. Please sing along if you know the
words. (sung)Catherine was a massive-
( The queens give a loud uproar )

ANNE OF CLEVES: Who decided you were the winner?

CATHERINE PARR: She wants another turn?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Over my dead body!

JANE SEYMOUR: Anyways, I'm pretty sure it’s my turn next.

ANNE OF CLEVES: You! Queen, please!

CATHERINE PARR: Are you joking?!

KATHERINE HOWARD: Yeah, weren’t you the one he truly loved?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Oh yeah, didn’t you give him the son he so desperately wanted?
ANNE BOLEYN: Yeah, like, I had a daughter and he literally chopped my head off.
JANE SEYMOUR: Yeah, I know. I was lucky in so many ways. Well, I had a beau tiful baby boy
and Henry got his heir to the throne, so of course I was goi ng to be the one he truly loved. But you
know, if Edward had turned out to be a little baby Edwina, well, I know that his love wouldn’t have
lasted.
ANNE BOLEYN: Wow, yeah, what a stressful situation. I’ve never had anything similar
happen.
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Yeah, babe, do you have any idea?

JANE SEYMOUR: Okay okay, look, you’re right. You’re so right! You queens ki cked some
major Tudor ass! And that’s what everyone wants to hear about. Yo u know, like, girl power,
woo! What I mean to say is that, I wouldn’t do an y of that. Instead, I stood by him. It didn’t
matter how many stupid things he did. I was there, by his side. And that’s… not because I was
weak or sca red. It’s because… I loved him. So, Henry…
[ SONG : HEART OF STONE ]
You’ve got a good heart,
But I know it changes.
A restless tide, untameable.
You came my way, and I knew a storm could come too.
You’d lift me high or let me fall.
But I took your hand,
Promise I’d withstand any blaze you blew my way.
‘Cause something inside, it solidified.
And I knew I’d always stay.
You can build me up,
You can tear me down,
You can try but I’m unbreakable.
You can do your best,
But I’ll stand the test,
You’ll find that I’m unshakable.
When the fire’s burnt,
When the wind has blown,
When the water’s dried,
You’ll still find stone.
My heart of stone.
You say we’re perfect.
A perfect family.
You hold us close for the world to see.
And when I say you’re the only one I’ve ever loved,
I mean those words to you fully.
But I know, without my son your love could disappear.
And no, it isn’t fair,
But I don’t care.
‘Cause my love will still be here.
You can build me up,
You can tear me down,
You can try but I’m unbreakable.
You can do your best,
But I’ll stand the test,
You’ll find that I’m unshakable.
When the fire’s burnt,
When the wind has blown,
When the water’s dried,
You’ll still find stone.
My heart of stone.
Soon I’ll have to go.
I’ll never see him grow.
But I hope my son will know,
He’ll never be alone.
‘Cause like a river runs dry
And leaves it’s scars behind.
I’ll be by your side,
‘Cause my love is set in stone.
...Yeah!

You can build me up,

You can tear me down,
You can try but I’m unbreakable.
You can do your best,
But I’ll stand the test,
You’ll find that I’m unshakable.

The fires burnt,

The wind has blown,
The water’s dried,

You’ll still find stone, ooh yeah…

My heart of stone…
Can’t break me, can’t break me, stone…
Can’t break me, can’t break me, stone...

You can build me up,

You can tear me down,
You can try but I’m unbreakable.
You can do your best,
But I’ll stand the test,
You’ll find that I’m unshakable.
When the fires burnt,
When the wind has blown,
When the water’s dried,

You’ll still find stone.

My heart of stone.

[ END SONG ]
JANE SEYMOUR: Because what hurts more than a broken heart?

( Anne slowly walks up to her )

ANNE BOLEYN: Severed head.

( The queens, besides Cleves, run off stage and the lights dim around Cleves. )
ANNE OF CLEVES: Now, seeing as Henry was running out of women to marry in E ngland,
he had to look a little further afield. He had to adjust his locati on settings, if you will. To find his
next queen, we’re heading to Germany. Where he enlisted the help of the legendary painter,
Hans…
(whispers) Holbein. Welcome to the house…

ALL: To the Haus of Holbein, ja!

( When the lights light up, all of the queen now have two accessories, a ruff and sunglasses. They sing
in a German accent while they are wearing this )

[ SONG: HAUS OF HOLBEIN ]

Ooh ja!
Das ist gut, ooh ja!
Ja!
The Haus of Holbein.

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?

You bring the corsets.

We’ll bring the cinches.

No one wants a waist over

Nine inches.

So what,
The makeup contains lead poison?

At least your complexion will bring all the boys in.

Ignore the fear and you’ll be fine,

We’ll turn this vier into a nine.
So just say “ja” and don’t say “nein”...
‘Cause now you’re in the house,
In the Haus of Holbein, ja!
Ooh ja!
Das ist gut, ooh ja!
Ja!
The Haus of Holbein.

We must make sure the princesses look great

When their time comes for their Holbein portrait!

We know what all the best inventions are

To hold everything out.

Ja, it’s wunderbar!

For blonder hair, then you just add a magical ingredient From your bladder.

Try these heels, so high it’s naughty.

But we cannot guarantee that you’ll still walk at forty.

Ignore the fear and you’ll be fine,
We’ll turn this vier into a nine.
So just say “ja” and don’t say “nein”...
‘Cause now you’re in the house…
In the Haus of Holbein, ja!
Ooh ja!
Das ist gut, ooh ja!
Ja!
The Haus of Holbein.

( They all chatter in a frantic matter. Then, Anna of Cleves steps up with the same setup )

KATHERINE HOWARD (w/ German accent): Anna! Fantastic! Wunderbar!

CATHERINE OF ARAGON (w/ German accent): Your highness, your highness, your highness! We are
honoured to present to you Anna of Cleves!
ANNE BOLEYN (w/ German accent): The most beautiful woman in all of the Holy Roman Empire!
CATHERINE PARR (w/ German accent): And let me assure you, Herr Holbein has certainly done her
justice.
( This time, the box to the left of Anna lights up green and a thumbs up sound effect is played )
KATHERINE HOWARD (w/ German accent): Ah, the good! And may I say you will d efinitely not be
disappointed?
JANE SEYMOUR (w/ German accent): Oh, no need to thank us, the pleasure has been ours—
ALL(sung): In the Haus of Holbein!
( The girls, besides Anna of Cleves begin to exist. Catherine Parr stays behind after the music is finish ed to say a line
)
CATHERINE PARR (sung) : The Haus of Holbein.

( Parr then exists as well. A sad piano melody plays in the background, with the only light on stage bei ng shined
down on Cleves )
ANNE OF CLEVES: Well, I guess you already know what happened next. How I ca me to England, hopeful,
summoned after the king saw my portrait. And how I, with my meager looks the way they are, didn’t live up to
his expectations. I mean, It’s the usual story, isn’t it? The savvy educated young princess d eemed repulsive by
the wheezing, wrinkled, ulcer-riddled man twenty-four ye ars her senior! Rejection, rejection from a king! How
can anyone overcome t he fate as devastating than being forced to move into a resplendent palace in Richmond
with more money that I could ever spend in a lifetime?! And not a single man around to tell me what to do with
it. I mean seriously, just… tragic.
( The lights light up to reveal the other queen behind her, in their normal attire and without a German a ccent )

[ SONG: GET DOWN ]

Sittin’ here all alone,

On a throne
In a palace that I happen to own.
Bring me some pheasant,
Keep it on the bone!
Fill my goblet up to the brim,
Sippin’ on mead
And I spill it on my dress with a gold lace trim.
Not very prim and proper,
Can’t make me stop.
I wanna go hunting, any takers?
I’m not fake, ‘cause I’ve got acres and acres,
Paid for with my own riches,
Where my hounds at?
Release the bitches.

Woof.

Everyday, head back for a round of croquet, yeah.

‘Cause I’m a player.
And tomorrow, I’ll hit replay.

You,

You said that I tricked ya.

‘Cause I,

I didn’t look like my profile picture.

Too,

Too bad I don’t agree.

So I’m gonna hang it up for everyone to see,
And you can’t stop me ‘cause
I’m the queen of the castle,
Get down, you dirty rascal.
Get down.
Get down.
Get down, you dirty rascal.
Get down.
Get down.
‘Cause I’m the queen of the castle.
When I get bored,
Pull up outside in my carriage,
Don’t got no marriage,
So I have a little flirt with the footman
As he takes my fur.

( The other girls go and take Cleves’ fur jacket off, and Howard takes her microphone. There is a brief p ause before
Howard gives it back. Parr puts the jacket on the top step of the stage )

As you were.
Makin’ my way to the dance floor,
Some boys makin’ advances, I ignore them.
As my jam comes on the lute.
Lookin’ cute,

Das ist gud.

All eyes on me,

No criticism.

I look more rad than

Lutheranism.

Dance so hard that I’m causing a sensation.

Okay, ladies, let’s get in reformation.

You,

You said that I tricked ya.

‘Cause I,

I didn’t look like my profile picture.

Too,

Too bad I don’t agree.

So I’m gonna hang it up for everyone to see,
And you can’t stop me ‘cause
I’m the queen of the castle,
Get down, you dirty rascal.
Get down.
(Slow motion) Get down, you dirty rascal.
Get down.
Get down.
‘Cause I’m the queen of the castle.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ I’m a gold digger,
But check my prenup, and go figure.
I got

Gold chains,

Symbolic of my faith to the higher power.

In the

Fast lane,
My horses can trot up to twelve miles an hour.
Let me explain,
I’m a Wienerschnitzel, not an English flower.
No one tells my I need a rich man,
Doin’ my thing in my palace Richmond.

You, you said that I tricked ya, tricked ya

‘Cause I, I didn’t look like my profile picture
Too, too bad I don’t agree.
So I’m gonna hang it up for everyone to see,
And you can’t stop,
You can’t stop me ‘cause—

‘Cause I’m the queen of the castle,

Get down your dirty rascal, get down!

( Cleves’ calls someone from the audience to dance in their spot while the rest of the queens keep dan cing in the
background )

Get down.
Get down.
Get down.
Get down.

G-g-g-g-g-g-g-get down.
‘Cause I’m the queen of the castle.

[ END SONG ]
ANNE OF CLEVES: So yeah, it was really heartbreaking.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: That doesn’t sound difficult at all.

ANNE OF CLEVES: Oh yeah… I guess you’re right. I probably won’t win then. O h well, back to the palace!
JANE SEYMOUR: Well, there’s one horse out of the race.

ANNE OF CLEVES: Rude.

JANE SEYMOUR: Let’s just take a moment to commemorate Anna on the loss of t he competition. And
speaking of losses, also, take a moment to commemorate my son on the loss of his mother.
( The “Heart of Stone” melody plays in the background )

JANE SEYMOUR: If that doesn’t capture the audience’s hearts, then I don’t k now what will.
( Catherine of Aragon snaps her finger and the time changes to “No Way.” )

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Uh, how about the loss of the sacred bond given to you by God, the
compromise—
ANNE BOLEYN: How about the loss of my head?!

( The music stops )

CATHERINE PARR: Okay, okay, you know what? I think it’s time for the next q ueen, Kate Howard.
ANNE BOLEYN: Sorry, who?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Oh yeah, you remember, the least relevant Catherine.

ANNE BOLEYN:Oh yeah, haha, I still don’t care.

KATHERINE OF ARAGON (sarcastically): Oh, ha ha, funny.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Yeah, speaking of funny, good luck trying to compete w ith us, honey.
KATHERINE HOWARD: Yeah… yeah, you’re right. I’m gonna need all the luck I c an get, your lives sounded
terrible and your songs… really helped to convey that. I mean, Catherine, almost moving into a nunnery and then
not? It almo st could’ve been really hard for you. And Anne! Anne, getting your head cho pped off? Surely, that
means you’ll win the competition— oh, wait, wait, ha ng on a sec. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded…
oh, wait, neverm ind. And Jane, dying of natural causes? When will justice be served?! And s urviving… Seriously,
seriously, Anna, all jokes aside, being rejected for y our looks legit sounds really rough. I wouldn’t know anything
about that. I mean look at me, I’m really fit. So yeah. I can’t even begin to think of ho w I’m going to compete with
you all. Oh wait, like this…
[ SONG: ALL YOU WANNA DO ]

All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby.

I think we can all agree that I’m the ten amongst these threes.

All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby.

And ever since I was a child, I’d make the boys go wild.

All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby.

KATHERINE HOWARD: Take my first music teacher, Henry Mannox.

I was young, it’s true, but even then I knew...

The only thing you wanna do is...
Broad, dark, sexy Mannox
Taught me all about dynamics.
He was twenty-three,
And I was thirteen going on thirty.
We spent hours strumming the lute.
Striking the chords and blowing the flute.
He plucked my strings all the way to G,
Went from major to minor, C to D.
Tell me what you need,
What you want, you don’t need to plead.
‘Cause I feel the chemistry.
Like I get you, and you get me.
And maybe this is it,
He just cares so much, it feels legit.
We have a connection.
I think this guy is different.
‘Cause all you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me, can’t get enoughsie.
All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is please me, squeeze me, birds and the bees me.
Run your fingers through my hair, tell me
I’m the fairest of the fair.

Playtime’s over.

The only thing you wanna do is...

KATHERINE HOWARD: So after him, there was another guy. Francis. And at the time, I was living at my step-
grandma’s house; he was working for her. Work ing so so hard. So he asked me to be his little piece of ass...istant.
Serious, stern and slow,
Gets what he wants and he won’t take no.
Passion in all that he touches.
The sexy secretary to the dowager duchess.
Helped him in his office, had a duty to fulfill.
He even let me use his favourite quill.
Spilt ink all over the parchment,
My wrist was so tired.
Still, I came back the next day as he required.
You see, I’m all you need.
All you want, you don’t need to plead.
‘Cause I feel the chemistry.
Like I get you and you get me.
And maybe this it,
He just cares so much, this one’s legit.
We have a real connection.
I’m sure this time is different.
‘Cause all you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me, can’t get enoughsie.
All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby.
Is please me, squeeze me, birds and the bees me.
You can’t wait a second more
To get my corset on the floor.

Playtime’s over.

The only thing you wanna do is mwah.

KATHERINE HOWARD: So yeah, that didn’t work out. Turns out, some guys just wanna employ girls into their
private chambers. Different time back then. S o I decided to have a break from boys, just focus on my career and my
dad g ot me this amazing workplace in court, and you’ll never guess who I met!
Tall, large, Henry VIII;
Supreme head of the church of England.
Globally revered.
Although you wouldn’t know it from the look of that beard.
Made me a lady in waiting,
Hurled me and my family up in the world.
Gave me duties in court and he swears it true
That without me he doesn’t know what he’d do.
You see, I’m all you need.
All you want, we both agree
This is the place for me.
I’m finally where I’m meant to be.
Then he starts saying all this stuff.
He cares so much he calls me “love”.
He says we have a connection.
I guess it’s not so different.
‘Cause all you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me, can’t get enoughsie.
All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is seize me, squeeze me, birds and the bees me.
There’s no time for when or how
‘Cause you just gotta have me now.

Playtime’s over.

The only thing you wanna do is mwah.

KATHERINE HOWARD: So then we got married... Woo.

With Henry, it isn’t easy.

His temper’s short and his mates are sleazy.
Except for this one courtier.
He’s a really nice guy, just
So sincere.
The royal life isn’t what I planned
But Thomas is there to lend a helping hand.
So sweet, makes sure that I’m okay.
And we hang out loads when the king’s away.
This guy, finally
Is what I want, the friend I need.
Just mates, no chemistry.
I get him and he gets me.
And there’s nothing more to it.
He just cares so much, he’s devoted.
He says we have a… connection.
I thought this time was different,
Why did I think he’d be different?
But it’s never, ever different.
‘Cause all you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, when will enough be enoughsie?!
All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is squeeze me, don’t care if you don’t please me.
Bite my lip and pull my hair,
As you tell me I’m the fairest of the fair.

Playtime’s over.
Playtime’s over.
Playtime’s

Over!
The only thing, the only thing,
The only thing you wanna do is…

[ END SONG ]
KATHERINE HOWARD: And then I was beheaded!

CATHERINE PARR: Wow, that got pretty real just then.

KATHERINE HOWARD: Yeah, I guess it did. So seeing as I had the worst time, and you know by the rules
of the competition, I am now the leading lady of the girl group!
( The girls argue )

JANE SEYMOUR: Yeah, you had it bad, but that was not the most heart wrenchi ng song we’ve heard this
evening.
KATHERINE HOWARD: Um, excuse me, were you not listening to my song? There w ere four choruses,
that’s how many men I had to deal with.
ANNE BOLEYN: Wow, yeah, being manipulated by men and paying the price, none of us could possibly
imagine what that— oh wait, yeah, I did experience tha t.
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Yeah, for like that last five minutes of your marriag e, Anne! Men had
manipulated me from day one. I was literally shipped over from a foreign country, not knowing a single word of
English, to marry some random dude.
ANNE OF CLEVES: Oh my God, same!

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Oh, okay. Fine, fine. But then, when Henry decided he had had enough of me,
he didn’t even have the decency to say goodbye!
ANNE BOLEYN: Same!

KATHERINE HOWARD: Oh yeah, same! Nice neck, by the way.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Ok, alright. Well now live up to this, when my one and only child had a raging
fever, Henry didn’t even let me—her mother!—see he r.
JANE SEYMOUR: Oh, boo-hoo! Baby Mary had the chickenpox and you weren’t the re to hold her hand!
You know, it’s funny because when I wanted to hold my newborn son, I died!
ANNE OF CLEVES: Ooh, someone has a conscience all of a sudden.

( The girls, besides Parr, laugh )

KATHERINE HOWARD: Ooh, “I’m Catherine Parr, I draw lines in arbitrary place s.” Blah-blah!
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: She just knows she’s not gonna win.

JANE SEYMOUR: I’m sure she doesn’t even have a story to tell.

CATHERINE PARR: Yeah… you know what? I will tell you a story.

ANNE OF CLEVES: At his will be good.

 CATHERINE PARR: Go on then, queens, take a seat. Cheers, Joan.

( The other queens take a seat and Joan plays the melody of “I Don’t Need Your Love.” )

CATHERINE PARR: So, Henry and I actually have something in common. I’ve als o had my fair share of
marriages. Though, unlike Henry, I managed to get th rough three without decapitating anyone. I know, gold
star for Cathy Parr. But they had this really annoying habit of passing away and so I was dealin g with, you
know, incapacitating grief. I also had to keep finding new husb ands to avoid being ostracised. Tudor
womanhood, all I’ve ever known. And t hen one day, I finally meet this guy, Thomas. He seemed like he might
stick around for a while. And you guessed it, he turned out to be the love of my life. We had this plan to get
married, actually. But that’s when Henry turn ed up, single and ready to make an unsuspecting woman his wife.
Just my luc k. So that was that. I had to write a letter to Thomas, ending things. Dear Tom...
[ SONG: I DON’T NEED YOUR LOVE ]

You know I love you, boy.

In every single way.
Though I love you, boy.
I’ll miss you everyday.
Oh I love you, boy.
I wish that I could stay with you
And keep the life I made with you.
And even though this feels so right,
I’m holding back the tears tonight.
It’s true I’ll never be over you.
‘Cause I have built a future in my mind with you.
And now the hope is gone,
There’s nothing left for me to do.
You know it isn’t true,
But I must say to you
That I don’t need your love, no, no.
I don’t need your love, no, no.
It’ll never be better than it was, no, no.
But I don’t need your love, no, no.
I’ve got no choice.
With the king, I stay alive.
Never had a choice.
Been a wife twice before, just to survive.
I don’t have a choice.
If Henry says it’s you, then it’s you.
No matter how I feel
It’s what I have to do.
But if, somehow, I had a choice.
No holding back, I’d raise my voice.
I’d say, “Henry, yeah, it’s true,
I’ll never belong to you
‘Cause I am not your toy to enjoy
‘Till there’s someone new.
As if I’d give up my boy, my work, my dreams to care for you.
Ha! Darling, get a clue.
There’s nothing you can do.
I don’t need your love, no, no.
No, I don’t need your love, no, no.
There’s nothing left to discuss, no, no.
But I don’t need your love, no, no.”

CATHERINE PARR: But I can’t say that. Not to the king. So this is goodbye.
All my love, Catherine.

So I sent that letter to my love,

Got married to the king,
Became the one who survived.
I’ve told you about my life, the final wife.
But why should that story
Be the one I have to sing
Just to win? I’m out
That’s not my story.
There’s so much more, remember
That I was a writer,
I wrote books and psalms and meditations.
For, for female education
So all my women could independently study scripture.
I even got a woman to paint my picture.
Why can’t I tell that story?
‘Cause in history
I’m fixed as one of six.
And without him,
I disappear.
We all disappear.

[ END SONG ]
ANNE BOLEYN: Wait, I don’t get it.

CATHERINE PARR: Okay, look. Why does anyone know who we are?

ANE BOLEYN: My sixth finger.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Put it away, babe!

CATHERINE PARR: No. Okay, let me put it in a different way. Who was Henry V II’s wife?
( They all look around at each other for an answer )

ANNE BOLEYN: I don’t know.

CATHERINE PARR: Anyone?

( The queens chatter amongst themselves, but no one knows the answer )

CATHERINE PARR: And Henry VI’s wife?

( Once again, none of them know the answer )

CATHERINE PARR: And Henry V’s wife?

Queens excluding Howard: We don’t know.

KATHERINE HOWARD: Catherine de Valois— I mean, I don’t know.

CATHERINE PARR: The point is, the only reason any of these people have come here tonight is because
once upon a time—
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: The same guy fell in love with us.

CATHERINE PARR: Right.

JANE SEYMOUR: So we can sing our hearts out.

ANNE OF CLEVES: And get down like it’s 1499.

CATHERINE PARR: I mean if we hadn’t married Henry VIII...

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: No one would want to hear our stories.

JANE SEYMOUR: And so each of our solos end up as backing vocals on Henry’s greatest hits.
KATHERINE HOWARD: Yeah… but isn’t there a bigger problem here?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: The dissolution of the monasteries?

KATHERINE HOWARD: ...Nope. I’m talking about us ‘cause when we get together as a group it just—
ANNE BOLEYN: Everyone notices Jane can’t dance!

KATHERINE HOWARD: This is what I’m talking about! We compare ourselves, and when we’re the six
wives of Henry VIII, we each become just that.
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: One of his wives.

CATHERINE PARR: One of...

Queens(sung): Six.

ANNE BOLEYN: Oh, I get it. Since the only thing we have in common is our hu sband, grouping us is an
inherently comparative act and as such unnecessari ly elevates a historical approach ingrained in patriarchal
structures… Yea h... I read.
CATHERINE PARR: So basically, we’re stuck.

( The girls complain about it )

JANE SEYMOUR: If only there was some way we could remove his love from our stories.
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Yeah! Imagine if we had the freedom to say what we alw ays wanted to say to
him without him being there to answer back.
( The rest of the girls all agree )

ANNE OF CLEVES: If only there was some way that we could, like, all be toge ther in the same place at the same
time with, like, I don’t know, four-hund red people to finally listen to us speak for ourselves or maybe even sing?
( The queens all look to the audience and smile at them cheekily )

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: This is a—

Queens(sung): Remix!

[ SONG: I DON’T NEED YOUR LOVE REPRISE ]

ANNE OF CLEVES: Guys, I have the plague!

( The other queens show their concerns )

ANNE OF CLEVES: Lol, just kidding, my life’s amazing. But in defence of me, I was humiliated on an
international scale.
ANNE BOLEYN: Oh yeah, I can’t imagine what that must have felt like! Who el se could possibly relate?!
CATHERINE HOWARD: Oh pipe down, Anne! You wanna talk about humiliation? Wel l when I was queen,
Henry had not one, not two, but three historically conf irmed mistresses.
ANNE BOLEYN: Oh yeah, well I had not one, not two, but three miscarriages!

CATHERINE HOWARD: Oh, well you know what, Anne Bo-loser? I had five miscarr iages!
( The queens all argue. Cleves gets in the middle of Boleyn’s and Aragon’s conflict while Seymour pull s Howard’s
hair. Parr steps up on the stage with the band members and cuts the electricity cables to g et the girls’ attention )
CATHERINE PARR: Stop!

ANNE OF CLEVES: Stop.

CATHERINE PARR: That’s enough!

KATHERINE HOWARD: Wait, what do you mean?

CATHERINE PARR: I mean, I think we’ve had enough of this competition.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Yeah. You know what, queens? She’s absolutely right.

ANNE OF CLEVES: Yeah.

KATHERINE HOWARD: Yeah yeah yeah… It’s time to decide who won!

( The other queens attempt to go back to arguing. Catherine Parr runs back down the steps of the stag e )
CATHERINE PARR: No, no, no, stop, stop! I really don’t think it’s a good id ea.
ANNE BOLEYN: Literally, what are you on about, mate?

CATHERINE PARR: Like… “Let’s see what has the biggest cheer, being murdered by your husband or
experiencing the trauma of losing a baby.” Are we really gonna do this?
JANE SEYMOUR: Um, I’m pretty sure we’ve been doing that for the last hour, so.
CATHERINE PARR: But… miscarriages. Come on, surely, that’s one step too fa r.
So we had no choice.

But now it’s us alone.

So we’ve got no choice,

No, we’ve got no choice.

We’re taking back the microphone.

I’m gonna raise my voice.

They always said we’d need your love,

But it’s time for us to rise above.
It’s not what went down in history.
But tonight, I’m singing this for me.
Henry, yeah, I’m through.
Too many times it’s been told.
And I have had enough
Love stories to get old.
And you might think it’s tough,
But I’ve got to let your love run cold.
We’re taking back control,
You need to know
That I don’t need your love, no, no.
No, I don’t need your love, no, no.
Can’t let it get the better of us, no, no.
I don’t need your love, no, no.

No, baby.
I don’t need your love.
Never need your love… yeah!

I don’t need your love, no, no.

No, I don’t need your love, no, no.
I don’t need your love, no, no.
I don’t need your love…!

We don’t need your love!

[ END SONG ]
CATHERINE PARR: (City name)! And you know what? We might just be remembered for being married to
the same man,
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: But why does anyone give a sh… who he is?

ANNE BOLEYN: His continental campaign?

JANE SEYMOUR: His religious reforms?

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: Well, actually—

KATHERINE HOWARD: It’s not the time, Catherine.

ANNE OF CLEVES: Or could it be his extraordinary, strong…

Queens(sung): Six wives!

JANE SEYMOUR: (Referring to the audience’s cheers) ...We thought so.

KATHERINE HOWARD: So, (city name), have you had a good time this evening?!

CATHERINE PARR: We said, have you had a good time?!

ANNE BOLEYN: And (city name), are you ready for a royal happily ever after? Well, we don’t have one.
CATHERINE OF ARAGON: We wish we could tell you that our lives had happy end ings.
JANE SEYMOUR: But the fact is they didn’t.

KATHERINE HOWARD: And there’s nothing we can do to change that.

ANNE OF CLEVES: Ever.

( They all draw a tear with their finger on their cheek )

ANNE BOLEYN: But wait…

JANE SEYMOUR: There’s five minutes left of the show...

ANNE OF CLEVES: And seeing as it’s our show...

CATHERINE PARR: We can have whatever ending we want.

CATHERINE OF ARAGON: (City name), seeing as you have been such a great audi ence,
ANNE OF CLEVES: We’ve decided to give you our own—

KATHERINE HOWARD: Um, slightly edited version.

ANNE OF CLEVES: —Of what actually went down all those years ago.

CATHERINE PARR: ‘Cause after all...

[ SONG: SIX ]
We’re one of a kind,
No category.

Too many years

Lost in history.

We’re free

To take our crowning glory.

For five more minutes,

We’re SiX!

He got down on one knee, but I said, “No way.”

Packed my bags and moved into a n-n-nunnery.
Joined the gospel choir,
Our riffs were on fire.
At the top of the charts is where I’m gonna stay.

Henry sent me a poem about my green sleeves.

I changed a couple words, put it on a sick beat.
The song blew their minds.
Next minute, I was signed.
And now I’m writing lyrics for Shakesy P.

Since my first son, our family’s grown.

We made a band and got quite well known.
You could perhaps call us the Tudor von Trapps.
I’m just kidding,
We’re called the Royalling Stones.

We’re one of a kind,

No category.
Too many years lost in history.
We’re free to take our crowning glory
For five more minutes,
We’re SiX.

What a shame, yeah, my face,

It cost me the crown.
So I moved to the

Haus of Holbein

In my hometown.
His mates were super arty
But I showed them how to party.
Now on my tour of Prussia,
Everybody “Gets Down.”

Music man tried it on,

And I was like “bye.”
So I thought, who needs him?
I can give it a try.
I learned everything, now all I do is sing.
And I’ll do that until I die.

Heard all about these rocking chicks.

Loved every song and each remix.
So I went out and found them,
And we laid down an album.
No, I don’t need your love.
All I need is SiX.

We’re one of a kind,

No category.
Too many years lost in history.
We’re free to take our crowning glory
For five more minutes,
We’re SiX.
Woah, woah, we’re SiX.
Woah-oh-oh, we’re SiX.
Woah, woah, for four more minutes.
It’s the end of the show of the historemix.
We switched up the flow and we changed the prefix.
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives.
But we wanna say before we drop the curtain,
Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain.
All that we know is that we used to be six wives.
We’re one of a kind,
No category.
Too many years lost in history.
We’re free to take our crowning glory
For three more minutes.
We’re one of a kind,
No category.
Too many years lost in history.
We’re free to take our crowning glory
For two more minutes,
We’re SiX.
Woah, woah, we’re SiX.
Woah-oh-oh, we’re SiX.
Woah, woah, for five, four, three, two,
One more minute.
We’re SiX!

(City name), here we go!

[ SONG: MEGASIX ]

You must think that I’m crazy,

You wanna replace me?
Baby, there’s—

N-n-n-n-n-no way!

If you thought you could leave me,

You must think I’m naive.
Please believe me, there’s—

N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-not sorry!
Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said.
I’m just trying to have some fun.

N-n-no way!

Don’t worry, don’t worry,

Don’t lose your head!
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone!

You can...

LOL!

You can...

Say “oh well”!

You can try but I’m unbreakable.

All you wanna—

Do your best.
But I’ll stand the test.
You’ll find that I’ve…

Got a heart of—

Sto-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one

All alone, on a throne

In a palace that I happen to own.

The only thing you wanna do...

Too bad I don’t agree

‘Cause I’m the queen of the castle.
Get down, you dirty rasca-a-al.

All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby

Is sing along to your favourite queen’s song.
All you wanna do, all you wanna do, baby
Is love me, love me, la, la, la, la,

La, la, la, la, love.

No, no, I don’t need your love, no, no.
It’s time to rise above.
Woah, woah.

We don’t need your love…!

‘Cause we’re so much more than—

Divorced’

Beheaded!

Died!

Divorced!

Beheaded!

Survived!

We’re…
SIX!
