I agree, I think that was the best TV performance they’ve done. Brilliant!

It was the best I've seen it done, but the new Anne Boleyn still seems the weakest link and never quite on key.

Loved this reply on Twitter to someone dissing the show!

I've never seen the show but I enjoyed it.
So much energy on that stage.

I wonder if each character will have the same costume regardless of the actress who is playing her?
The girl playing wife No 3 looked different to the one I've seen on other TV appearances and her costume looked a bit different.
Some of the girls may want costumes which accentuate their figure if they have long legs, good abs etc.

To be honest, as a non-liker of the show, I thought that the performance was relatively okay.
Until it got slapped with a complete rip off of Hamilton.
Then it went downhill.

Intrigued to know what part of the cheesy pop performed reminded you of Hamilton? Was it because there were people on stage, like in Hamilton? Being vaguely historical, like in Hamilton? They were singing, like in Hamilton? They had heads....bad example... |

The six actresses on BGT last night were the current principals, who have been with the show since the Fringe run last year (and two of them were in the previous cast, too).
There are three alternates in the show who cover all six wives - each of them has their own costume that they wear whoever they're on for, although they do change their hairstyle depending on which wife they are playing. Most of them wear their hair as similar as possible to the principal's style, with the exception of Cleves where the alternates all wear their hair in a high, backcombed ponytail on the top of their head.

For the record, wasn't actually any of those things. In fact, I've seen most of those things you listed in other shows. Might just be me. From 1:52 of Six. Utilises a very similar pattern to Track 01 of Hamilton. An accompaniment on beat 1 of every bar followed by rhythm on beat 3. Also lots of cross-beats over bars in both. |

Wednesday to Saturday this week is completely sold out. The two performances on Sunday have three single seats remaining between them. Fantastic to see the show doing so well.

Well the composer had never seen or listened to Hamilton at the time of writing so i'm afraid it's a coincidence. |

It's just if you've got two musicals that came into being at a similar sort of time and they're both largely influenced by the popular music of the day then it's a helluva stretch to cite conspiracy or rip-off when you perceive similarities, rather than just realising that similarities are going to happen in these cases.

I apologise for using the term “rip-off”. Just sounded immensely similar. Didn’t mean any harm  Was just voicing an opinion. |

I think there’s a difference between being interested in music on a ‘deeper level’ and desperately trying to form an argument discrediting a fresh, new and popular show by picking out a few beats that may or may not be similar to a song from another show, which are actually entirely a coincidence (if that coincidence exists at all - those 2 songs sound absolutely nothing like each other!) |

Sure, I understand what you're saying. The intention wasn't to start an argument whatsoever. I only intended to respond to the comments in which I was given, so I apologise. I wasn't aware that it was "entirely a coincidence" as it is not a show I am interested in (as I'm sure you can tell  ). So, again, I apologise. |

I’d like to mention that Starlight Express famously had the rap section in it - written in the 80’s. Saying Six is like Hamilton because of a small rap section is wrong. |

I never said the show was like Hamilton - I don’t think it is. It was just that single section of the song that reminded me of it. |

That is certainly not a criticism, just an observation. |

I too don’t believe for a moment that pianowithsam was trying to instigate a row with his comments. It’s not a huge stretch to suggest there are similarities. This definitely doesn’t warrant multiple people pointing and telling him he’s wrong.
