SEATTLE — "Six: The Musical" has finally made its way to the stage in
Seattle.

"The show is about the stories of the six wives of Henry the Eighth, but
it's really told in a way that you've never seen before," said Six cast
member Gabriela Francesca Carrillo, who plays Henry’s sixth wife
Catherine Parr.

While people may be familiar with the history of King Henry the VIII and
his wives, the show focuses on the women and shares details about their
lives people may not know, Carrillo explained.

"Catherine Parr, she's the survivor," she said. "She outlived Henry. She
was a writer. She was a woman of faith. As I say in the musical, she
wrote books and Psalms and meditations and a super-intellectual woman,
and very, very inspiring character. And I love playing her every night."

Broadway touring show, SIX.
Before each show, Carrillo and the rest of her castmates must transform
themselves into queens. The show worked with MAC to pick a color for
each leading lady. Katherine Parr is blue.

"And although they were adamant that I need to wear blue, of course, on
my eyes, we kind of worked together to design something that works for
me, for what I like to look like, for what works for my face shape. So
lots of glitter, you will see we're encouraged to wear tons of glitter
and false eyelashes and beautiful wigs," said Carrillo. "My costume is
super cool because I'm the only queen that wears pants. And I think
that's because Catherine Parr is a progressive woman."

Even if musicals aren't your thing, Carrillo said this show might change
your mind.

"Six, I always say, is the perfect musical for people who are skeptical
about musicals," said Carrillo.

One thing she pointed to: the show is short -- 90 minutes with no
intermission.

"It's quick. It's fast-paced, fast-moving. And it's just so stimulating
the whole show," Carrillo said.

The show can appeal to a wind range of people, from the history buff to
the costume lover to the pop music fan, she said. "Even if you've never
seen a Broadway show, or if you saw a couple and you said that wasn't my
thing, this is completely different. I can guarantee you've never seen
anything like this."

"Six: The Musical" is playing at Seattle's Paramount Theatre through July 23

Beheaded

[Catherine Parr:]
Survived

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
And tonight we are

[All:]
Live

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
Listen up, let me tell you a story

[Anne Boleyn:]
A story that you think
You've heard before

[Jane Seymour:]
We know you know our names
And our fame and our faces

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Know all about the glories
And the disgraces

[Katherine Howard:]
I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word
In a stupid rhyme

[Catherine Parr:]
So I picked up a pen and a microphone

[All:]
History's about to get overthrown

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
Divorced

[Anne Boleyn:]
Beheaded

[Jane Seymour:]
Died

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Divorced

[Katherine Howard:]
Beheaded

[Catherine Parr:]
Survived

[All:]
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

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
All you ever hear
And read about

[Anne Boleyn:]
Is our ex and the way it ended

[Jane Seymour:]
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush

[Anne Of Cleves:]
You're gonna find out
How we got unfriended

[Katherine Howard:]
Tonight we gonna do ourselves justice
'Cause we're taking you to court

[Catherine Parr:]
Every Tudor Rose has its thorns
And you're gonna hear 'em live in consort

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
Divorced

[Anne Boleyn:]
Beheaded

[Jane Seymour:]
Died

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Divorced

[Katherine Howard:]
Beheaded

[Catherine Parr:]
Survived

[All:]
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 Renaissance
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
....but now we're ex-wives

Divorced

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
My name is Catherine Of Aragon
Was married 24 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

[All:]
Beheaded

[Anne Boleyn:]
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!

[All:]
Died

[Jane Seymour:]
Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved

[All:]
Rude

[Jane Seymour:]
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...

[All:]
Divorced

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Ich bin Anna of Cleves

[All:]
Ja

[Anne Of Cleves:]
When he saw my portrait he was like...

[All:]
Jaa

[Anne Of Cleves:]
But I didn't look as good
As I did in my pic
Funny how we all discuss that
But never Henry's little...

[Katherine Howard:]
Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine
Who lost her head

[All:]
Beheaded

[Katherine Howard:]
For my promiscuity outside of wed
Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
K Howard is here
And the fun's begun

[All:]
Survived

[Catherine Parr:]
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

[All:]
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
Get your hands 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!
