Silly six- rtc parallel

ok hi! this isn't anything big, i just kind of wanted to scream into the void about this parallel i found between six (the musical) and ride the cyclone. enjoy!!! <3

(the comparisons will be pretty loose so just stick with me)

so first, the premises are rather similar, six dead people battling through song in a competition- like fashion. in this case, the "judges" are different (in six, it's the audience, and in rtc it's karnak, so they think), but karnak is the only one to speak directly to the audience, so they both have some connection to the outside of the fourth wall.

onto characters!!! (i'm analyzing them in the order that they go)

ocean o'connell rosenberg/catherine of aragon

very confident in themselves and their ability to win

has a sibling- rivalry type dynamic with the next person, but loves them despite their constant rivalry

noel gruber/anne boleyn

i don't really have a lot for this one

beef with the previous person

france 🇫🇷 🥖

likes men (i'm running out of ideas)

mischa bachinski/jane seymore

(i'm not counting MLIA as his song for this 😔)

their songs are both love ballads (ish)

definitely their songs are where the show slows down

the babygirls of the fandom

HAUS OF HOLBEIN - MY LIFE IS AWESOME PARALLEL APPRECIATION POST

(best song)

(sunglasses)

ricky potts/anna of cleves

they are the wildcard of the group

dont fit in with everyone else and have stopped trying atp

the fact that their songs are totally different is just hilarious and proves my first point even further

they both don't care about the competition (ricky straight up dropping out; anna singing about how her life is awesome) (mischa reference???😱)

both have the best costume change in the middle of their songs

jane doe/katherine howard

BEHEADED BABES🥰🥰🥰

either don't remember their life or don't want to

their songs are both laments (yes, the BALLAD of jane doe is actually a lament)

(while i'm at it, noel's lament is actually a ballad)

constance blackwood/catherine parr

BEST CHARACTER (in my opinion)

super underrated (also in my opinion)

song starts out sad, picks up the pace

cast's favorite song to perform

their song brings everyone together

both characters are relatively quiet throughout the show

that's it!!! i hope you guys liked it!! :)
