Happy Asian and Pacific Islander Month to our queens!

Here in the US, May is Asian-American and Pacific Islander month. So just like last year, I'll be highlighting the Asian and Pacific Islander queens of Six. This year is especially fun as there's currently an Asian or Pacific Islander queen in every currently-running replica production of Six!

There may be additional info or queens missing, as it's only information I specifically have been able to verify. This list also doesn't encompass the full breadth of many queens' identities; many of them are of mixed race and ethnicity, or of several nationalities. That post provides further information. - I usually don't include actors who haven't debuted. That means that Kimberley Hodgson and Deirdre Khoo (both of the recently-announced Australian Tour) and Fia Houston-Hamilton (cancelled Breakaway 2.0) are not included.

Fun fact: Danielle is the first Asian principal Cleves in an English-language production.

so i just learned about a hungarian non-replica (but licensed) production of six opening this fall – i really wanted to be excited about it, but the translated lyrics in this promo performance are so incredibly cringe that i'm not sure i'd make it through the entire show :/

they are doing double-casting, which is pretty common in hungary, but it's unclear if they're gonna keep them separate, or mix them up (a la korea) – they specifically mention that each queen is covered by one pop singer and one musical actress.

anyways, at least the singing is mostly there (i don't know all of these performers, but the ones i do are pretty great and let's hope the dancing gets better by october), and i'm very curious what a licensed non-replica is going to look like. (the led screen has some costume sketches!)

sidebar: i know you're seeing a bunch of white looking ladies (your vision is fine), but the country's population is ~97% white, and even those who aren't are often white-passing. i was actually positively surprised to see a few women of color in the cast: hien (vietnamese-hungarian, not at this performance, but listed on the website), kardffy aisha (persian-hungarian) and singh viki (indian-hungarian).

stay tuned as i expect to be increasingly horrified as i learn more about this production!

Riviera Girl final song (2017.05.17)

[nonestcurrentis]

RésJ 2019 CAST LIST

Yup, you read that correctly. WE HAVE A CAST LIST!

Rómeó: Veréb Tamás (Fame, Mozart!, Miss Saigon, Gone With The Wind, even RésJ in 2013 (as Romeo), plus several songs released.)

Júlia: Kardffy Aisha (Lady Budapest, Marica grófnő, Riviera Girl, only 20 years old and already getting lead roles.)

Benvolio: Kerényi Miklós Máté (Y'all know him. He's wonderful live, he has my complete trust. Plus I think he's played Ben before.)

Mercutio: Cseh Dávid Péter (Lady Budapest, RésJ (as Paris), Hunchback of Notre Dame (not the french one). Newspapers say he's great, and by his IG he seems like a fun guy, we'll see.)

Tybalt: Horváth Dániel (Lady Budapest, RésJ (as Tybalt), Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gone with the Wind. I don't know him at all but he has a lot of roles in the Operett at current so he must be good.)

Lady Montague: Détár Enikő (Renowned actress with a lot of roles, but. You guys. Honest to God. I didn't know she could sing 😅 Or I did and forgot.)

Lady Capulet: Muri Enikő (X-Factor 2011, Gone With The Wind, Mamma Mia!, now sings in a band called Sugarloaf)

Lord Capulet: Makrai Pál (West Side Story, Evita, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les misérables, Dorian Gray, Anna Karenina, István a király, Fame, Jungle Book, Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat... among many)

Nurse: Mester Viktória (mostly opera roles like Carmen or Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro)

You guys. Sorry, I have to stop here a little. WHO THE FUCK CASTED THIS. And no, I don't mean it in a bad way as all these people are fantastic, but let's look at the ages a little.

Between Lady C and Juliet, there are 9 years. Between Lady M and Lady C, 26 years. Between the Nurse and Lady C, 13 years. And (hold on to your seats) between Lady C and Lord C, 45 YEARS!! No, I'm not kidding. ACTUAL FORTY-FIVE YEARS. I'm sure this is gonna work out one way or another but it kinda fucked with my mind. Anyway, let's continue.

Prince Escalus: Egyházi Géza (Apparently RésJ as Paris, Der Tanz der Vampire, Les mis, Cats, and I'm quite fucking sure I know this guy from somewhere but I can't remember where)

Paris: Kádár Szabolcs János (Fame, Midsummer Night's Dream, and so it seems solo songs as well)

TBA: Mészáros Árpád Zsolt (called it, he's gonna be fucken Friar Lawrence, isn't he?)

So, this is it, you guys. Go ahead, do your research, pick it apart, discuss it, while I'm trying to get my head around it a little. But I'm sure it's gonna be great whatever way. And if not so much... it's just one show after all. But I've never been disappointed in Hungarian casting.
