Catherine Parr was Queen of England and Ireland from 1543 to 1547 due to her marriage to King Henry VIII. She was his sixth and final wife. Inspired by Alicia Keys and Emeli Sandé, she is the final contestant in Six the Musical with her solo "I Don't Need Your Love", where she details her arranged marriage with Henry and how she was forced to separate from her lover, before celebrating her accomplishments outside of her marriage.

Trivia[]

  • Catherine was the goddaughter of Catherine of Aragon, and it is believed that she was named after her godmother.
    • Catherine Parr's mother, Maud Green, was a close friend and lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon.
  • After the death of Henry VIII, Catherine married Thomas Seymour, who was the brother of Henry's third wife Jane Seymour. This would have made the two sisters-in-law.
  • Out of all of Henry's queens, he was most closely related to Catherine Parr and Catherine of Aragon.
  • Catherine's daughter, Mary Seymour, is the only one of the queens' children that is not mentioned within the show, although most of the children only receive brief mentions.
    • Although it is widely presumed that Mary died at the age of two since she disappeared from historical record completely after 1550, some historians claim otherwise.
  • For swings and alternates that have two first covers, the role of Catherine Parr is most often paired with that of Jane Seymour.
    • For swings and alternates that have three first covers, the role is most often paired with that of Catherine of Aragon and Anna of Cleves.
  • Over all, out of the four alternate costumes, the orange costume is most associated with the role of Parr; three out of the four actresses cast as the orange alternate have had Parr as one of their intended first covers.
  • Although her name is most commonly spelled as "Catherine" it is also sometimes spelled "Katherine" or "Kathryn".
  • In the musical, Catherine's 'queenspirations' were Alicia Keys and Emeli Sandé.
  • In an Instagram story, Toby Marlow stated that if Six were to be made into a movie, he would like either Beyoncé or Alicia Keys to play Catherine.[1]
  • In the show, Catherine's stage directions and blocking have changed more than any other queen in the show.
  • Toby Marlow, one of the show's co-writers, stepped in to play Catherine for both performances on 28 July 2019 due to cast illness.[2]
  • From 1 June to 9 August 2023, Catherine Parr was played by an American actress in every single production.
