It's so strange hearing American accents lol! They sound so good for their first show.

[georgiairving]

For those complaining about accents: technically Aragon should have a spanish accent, cleves should have a german accent, and anne boleyn should have a slight french accent, if we're gonna be pedantic about it. 2/6 of the queens were about as british as these actresses are (ie not at all) May as well do what's best for the actors rather than authenticity

[lksings]

There is so much power in Tiny Boleyn and Tiny Cleves. I would die for them.

[amelia]

Boleyn is so tiny! Cleves has so much energy! I'm in love with this cast!

[aneeshaedwards]

Hearing “not sarree” instead of “not sorreh” is so jarring every time I watch it lol. It’s still amazing, though.

[MrMrMrprofessor]

😍😍😍 Beautiful. I love how you can already see the differences in how different they are from the london cast.
Also, Brittney's Cleves is everything.

[themelodystar]

wow, andrea's boleyn is so upbeat and bubbly compared to millie's cocky and vickie's mischievous takes on her.
brittney has so much energy! she reminds me of genesis' cleves, but maybe a bit more... extra? not quite how to explain that.



also, i'm really not used to the different heights, like boleyn looks tiny compared to seymour. (or the pronunciations, sorry and castle throw me off every time.)

[catherine]

Cleves is a little pocket rocket, small but fierce! Very different to Alexia's Cleves but I love them both!

[benm]

the west end cast holds a place in my heart but this isn’t bad

[mrmarshmallow]

it must be necessary for all boleyns to go all out dancing, huh. they're both so spunky i would die for them ????

[MrMrMrprofessor]

Also, can't help but be slightly annoyed at the "Why don't they have english accents?! It doesn't work!". No, it works just fine. You're just not used to it yet. Literally, every production of Six has been with English actresses so far, so of COURSE the American accents sound jarring. It's not a bad thing. And, as others have pointed out, some of the queens weren't even English. I would rather have the American actresses use their own voices, as opposed to putting on accents.

Also, on other videos, I see a lot of hate for Andrea and I don't really get why? ...she sounds very similar in timbre to Millie, she's just a bit more bubbly in terms of her portrayal, which works just fine. I know Millie is basically the fan favorite, but I'm not sure why Andrea is getting so much criticism. I think her energy is what really carries her.

[xdinaryheroesluv]

Ah yes, the Megasix that caused a cultural reset. The Seymour overlap going bye bye.

[josephcarlisle]

I think Abbey Mueller (Seymour) as a good grasp on what Megasix is because she's the only one interacting with the audience at the very end lol other than that I love this.

[spagetspaget]

I love that the end line up is in height order

[freyamartin]

i think that for their first show it’s amazing but they aren’t as natural as the Uk queens are, they’ve been doing it for so long they have their own spins on their characters which will defo come with the more performances they do

[eletricman]

Can’t believe it’s about to be a year since their first megasix and now look at these lovely 6 making magic on broadway! I truly can’t wait for them to have their official opening!

[charlottewooo]

Okay Anne Boleyn is adorable and Catherine Parr is so fierceeee

[mightymorphinmatt]

They sound great! They just keep their own accents the whole show? A lot of the rhyming relies on a British accent.

[lotus_dream]

The energy of the band and of the girls.. I love this.. I have seen a few clips from west ends. I've never gotten the energy from them as I do with these people

[annielizolsen]

Parr and cleves are my faves so far. They seem the most comfortable.

I wish they’d looked at the girls shapes for the costumes, Boleyn and Seymour are not built the same as their British counterparts, and one of the things I love the most about the (UK) show is the costumes seemed so customized to each of the actresses including the alternates. I wonder if any of that will change as previews continue.

Also did Howard have to dye her hair??
