Lyrics:
Divorced
Beheaded
Died
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
And tonight, 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, cos 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 overthrone
Divorced
Beheaded
Died
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
But just for you tonight
We’re divorced, beheaded, live!
Welcome to the show
To the histo-remix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
Raising up the roof
Til 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
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 we got
unfriended
Tonight we’re gonna do
ourselves justice
Cos 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 histo-remix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
But now we’re Ex-Wives
Dancing to the beat
Til the break of day
Once we’re done, we’ll start again
Like it’s the Renaissance
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
But now we’re - Ex-Wives
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
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 pr-
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 I got
this far....
I said I bet you wanna know how we
got this far
DO YOU WANNA KNOW HOW WE GOT
THIS FAR?
Then welcome to the show
To the histo-remix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
Get your hands up
Get this party buzzin’
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!

Listen to the Studio Cast Recording now:

[saturnlol]

Different people have different fetishes.
Henry's just had to be Catherines.

[specticmua]

Catherine Howard - "lock up your husband, lock up your son's"
Hercules Mulligan - "lock up ya daughter and horses"

[Laramaria]

"-Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved...
-RUDE! 😂"
The moment Catherine Parr says "I'm the survivor, Catherine Parr!" always give me chills 😍

[haxthesimp]

The Queens: *singing about their lives with henry*
Henry in hell: 👁👄👁

[ava_]

I love how Katherine Howard has the same energy in this song as Hercules Mulligan in Aaron Burr, sir and the story of tonight reprise

[thisisme]

"Funny how we all discuss that but never Henry's little pri..."
Hands down the best line. Anne of Cleves is the best.

[millicentgarciameiring]

I never thought I would see a musical about Henry VIII’s wives, but I LOVE IT

[Johnlocked.on_bakerst]

hamilton and six are historical musicals that I'm obsessed with...

[clarissaisaac]

Am I the only one who ABSOLUTELY LOVES the second "ja" on anna of cleves' introduction?

[KingdomHeartsFan]

3:42
My favorite line in the show: "Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved. (Rude.)"

[appletree]

Anne of Cleves was way too much of a top for Henry

[whatalsaid]

Fun fact: All of Henry's wives are descended from Edward I. Katherine of Aragon was actually the great granddaughter of King Henry IV's sister, who were both from the house of lancaster, which ruled before the Tudors and the Yorks. So in theory, Katherine actually had a much stronger claim to the English throne than her husband.

[milliepaterson]

that one dislike is from Henry VIII being a sore loser



and the others are from his sleazy mates 😂

[Other_Amanda]

Historical musicals like Six and Hamilton are always the best ones

[rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

3:12 is my favourite part with all the queens introducing themselves. Two little things I really like:
-The vocals panning from left to right as they go in chronological order.
-The slight change to the instrumentals for each queen — Aragon's bit adds a lute, Boleyn's has the high short notes (I can't tell the instrument), Seymour's the long piano notes, Cleves' the accordion, Howard's the additional beat, and Parr's the electric keyboard.

The second aspect is especially great because of how they fit in with each queen. Seymour's bit actually includes a part from _Heart of Stone, _ but the others fit their personalities in the show like Aragon's dignity/royalty, Boleyn's childishness, and Howard's flirtatiousness, or in Cleves' case her origins. Parr's is kinda split in two, with the first half being more subdued and the second half more assertive — just like _I Don't Need Your Love._

[PickledThyme]

Historical Musicals: *exist*
Henry VIII: Why do I hear boss music?

[hansandonlyhans]

WHEN YOURE WEARING HEADPHONES AND THE QUEENS ARE DOING THEIR LITTLE INTRODUCTIONS THE SOUNDS GO EAR TO EAR

LIKE ARAGON SINGS IN YOUR LEFT EAR AND AS THE QUEENS GO IT SLOWLY TRANSITIONS TO YOUR RIGHT OMFMFJFHDHHD

[kikedragoon]

My neighbours listen to this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY



...





Wether they want to or not...

[calamity]

“Stick around and you’ll suddenly Seymour”

How did I not catch that?

[royaloverlord]

This show is the reason Altos like me are able to live on.
