I KNEW the UK Tour being down an alt was gonna cause problems when they’re literally in the INTERNATIONAL leg of their tour, I just didn’t wanna manifest them into existence. They really should’ve gotten a temporary principle Boleyn instead of Izi (nothing against her, but they need the coverage) or a temporary swalt. 😭

Happy (belated) Pride Month 2023!
Made this graphic back during pride month but since I was on hiatus I just never posted it. But better late than never, so here’s the belated 2023 pride post from me. As always, this list is certainly not comprehensive. There are likely other closeted actors and/or actors who are out but may not have explicitly stated their queerness. As identity is a sensitive topic I always err on the side of caution when creating these. And just like in past years, this only includes current actors.

Six UK tour 2023 costume breakdown
Guess who is doing the write-up this time. This will include the costumes that have been onstage so far: principal costumes, alternate principal costumes, silver swing and orange alt and will be updated with the rest of alternate costumes once we get good photos of those. Also a few general notes:
The entire cast has the numeral earrings and glitter IEMs.
The boots are custom made by LaDuca with rhinestones done by Crystalled by Jane who does all the UK boots and collaborated on the heel designs with Gabriella Slade. All boots minus Cleves have the single wide strap and alternates have silver heels and interchangeable straps. Ellie Jane grant gets a second pair of tigh high boots for Cleves.
Aragon: Nicole Louise Lewis (principal), Ellie Jane Grant (alternate)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The costumes follow the style of recent UK Aragon costumes with a wide front panel and skirt gap. The peplum has been switched from a single piece laying mostly flat against the skirt that 2022 WE and UKT have/had to a more US looking rised peplum made of different panels. Unlike most Aragon costumes the shoulder straps widen at the bottom and are not fully aligned with the bodice seams and the horizontal band at the collar is wider than usual. The necklaces have black trim weaved through the chains. The costume is likely made by White Star costume.
They both have full wigs styled with braids at the front following the hairline. Nicole's wig is black and reaches her upper back, Ellie's wig is auburn slightly shorter and has a little more volume as both are made following their hairtype.
Boleyn: Laura Dawn Pyatt (principal), Izi Maxwell (alternate)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This costumes have the darker green vinyl that was introduced to the UK in late 2022 and has become the standard since. Unlike most Boleyn costumes where the square cutouts start right at the waist or slightly higher (being partially cut on top) and are either cut before a third row of squares at the bottom starts or have the third row cut these skirts have solid black above and below the squares to complete the lenght. It is more visible on Izi as her skirt is longer. The costume is likely made by White Star costume.
Laura wears her hair mid back. Izi has worn hairpieces in a few different lenghts but it seems to have settled on a chin lenght hairpiece with the tips curved inward.
Seymour: Erin Caldwell (principal), Tamara Morgan (alternate)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The costumes are standard UK costume with a black trim weaved through the chain. The costumes are made by Kirsti Reid.
Erin has a full wig that reaches mid back. It is styled with a slight side part (that had only been used in the US and SK productions while UK did only mid parts), a styled front in line with the recent SK stylings, no beehive and soft curls towards the bottom. She wore a crown with a black base at the start of her run but switched to a white base, which had only been used in US productions and cruises at that point. Tamara wears her own hair styled with a side part and the sides pulled back, she also wears a hairpiece that reaches her mid back.
Cleves: Kenedy Small (principal), Ellie Jane Grant (alternate)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both have standard UK costumes made by Paul Aspinall (who has made all UK Cleves in recent years) and reveal leotards by Queen of stretch.
Kenedy wears a full wig styled in the usual Cleves updo with braids on the sides and curls styled towards the front and over her forehead; Samuel James wigs who makes all the UK wigs and hairpieces posted a different wig for her that seems to be cut (Ellie has worn her hair styled on a simpler version of the updo in varying heights, but she might get a wig in the future.
Howard: Lou Henry (principal), Izi Maxwell (alternate)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both have costumes made by Ella dancewear who is the primary UK Howard maker. The skirts seem to be slightly narrower than usual.
Right at the start Lou wore a base wig with styled bangs in the front and a separate ponytail attached to the wig; she had a different styling with a front poof instead of styled bangs during tech and wig fittings. Mid may she started wearing her own hair as base instead of the wig. Izi wears her hair pulled back into a bun with the ponytail on top in the usual Howard styling.
Parr: Aoife Haakenson (principal), Tamara Morgan (alternate)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aoife has a standard UK Parr costume. Tamara´s costume mostly follows the UK style but her pants havea higher waist than usual and her peplum is narrower to accomodate her build. Both costumes are made by AshleighCherrycostumes who is the primary UK Parr maker.
Aoife wears a full wig styled in a version of the braid and ponytail hairstyle that seems to be the new standard for non black Parr actors. She has a french braid on top and the sides pulled back into a ponytail lightly curled on the tips. And a crown on both sides like Roxanne and the SK Parrs. Tamara wears her own hair styled in the curly side ponytail.
Swing: Shakira Simpson
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shakira has the silver swing costume made by Paul Aspinall. So far she has debuted Aragon, Seymour and Howard wearing the main silver skirt and Parr wearing pants, but from costume maker posts we know she has a Cleves costume. She has a K charm for Howard and likely a B charm for Boleyn. During rehearsals she posted boots with a new heel rhinestone design, but she got the usual silver design by the time she debuted.
She wears her own hair for all the queens she has debuted so far with hairpieces added for some of them. For Aragon she wears her hair pulled back on the sides with a short curled hairpiece and a silver version of the Aragon crown. For Seymour she wears her hair pulled back on the sides, and a mid back lenght hairpiece curled with soft waves. For howard she wears her hair pulled back into a bun and a waist long straight ponytail. For Parr she wears her hair styled in a simmilar way to Aoife with a braid at the front and a ponytail on the back. She wears different lipstick for each queen and regular silver hoop earrings.
Alternates: Ellie Jane Grant, Izi Maxwell
Tumblr media
Ellie has the teal costume for her second and third covers. Her costume is the current standard teal variation with pants and a peplum and a darker blue vinyl. So far she has debuted Boleyn and Parr in this costume. She has interchangeable boot straps in the teal square design.
For Boleyn she wears her own hair styled into spacebuns and has a B charm choker. For Parr she wears her own hair styled to the curly side ponytail.
Tumblr media
Izi has the orange costume for her second and third covers. She has debuted Seymour and Cleves in this costume. The costume is a standard UK orange with pants and peplum likely made by Camden costumes. It has a notable difference in the cutout panels on the front and back of her top being narrower than usual to accomodate for her build. She has interchangeable boot straps in the current orange style with black outlines.
For Seymout she wears her own hair pulled back with a long back hairpiece styled in a very small beehive. For Cleves she wears her hair in an updo with three buns that is the standard for UK alts with straight hair, the buns are likely a hairpiece as her hair is too short to create enough volume. For her promo photo she wore the orange costume and her Parr hairstyle which is the same combination of braid and ponytail Aoife and Tamara wear, in Izi's case it is her own hair styled at the front and a hairpiece for the ponytail in the back.
Note: we have seen tamara in her pink alt costume in promo photos and backstage but she hasn't debuted any queens in pink I didn't add that costume yet. All the alt costumes are likely made by Camden Costumes.
All photos come from the queen's personal instagram or tiktok accounts (@/nicolelouise_lewis, @/lauradawnpyatt_, @/erincaldwellxox, @/kenedysmall, @/louhenry, @/aoife_haakenson, @/s.simpson, @/elliejane.grant, @/izimaxwell, @/tamannemorgan) the six main accounts (@/sixthemusical), and promotional photos are by Pamela Raith (@/peachyraith)

There's an interesting gap on Izi Maxwell's Boleyn skirt between the normal green holo square pattern and the studded trim. You can see an extra inch of black with studs only, then the trim, but this is not on Laura Pyatt's skirt
They usually try to work out the placement of Boleyn squares so that they’re all full and nothing gets cut off. Since the square size can’t be adjusted, the black gets adjusted for the little differences in length. Usually it works pretty well, but sometimes it makes it look like there’s a blank gap where there seems like there shouldn’t be. In Izi’s case, it’s just because her skirt is a little longer than the amount of space that the existing squares take up, but way too short to add another full square in that blank spot.
Here’s a few different costumes for comparison:
Tumblr media
L-R: Izi Maxwell (23-24 UKT alt), Laura Dawn Pyatt (23-24 UKT), Jennifer Caldwell (22-23 UKT), 김지우 (South Korea)
These have all been made in about the last eight months and they’re seemingly all made by WhiteStar in the UK. You can see how their slightly different skirt lengths affects the amount of black at the top and bottom. You can also compare the tops: 김지우 has a longer top which translates to extra black at the bottom and an extra row of studs, while the other three have shorter tops with the same number of cutouts but less black at the bottoms as a result. You can also look at the side of Laura’s top: it has a blank spot where *most,* but not all, of a cutout would fit. Since it would be cut off, they didn’t include it at all.
Again, those are all made very recently and to my knowledge all by the same studio. There’s difference in this current format as opposed to how the US or prior makers have made them. Sometimes the first cutouts have been started right at the top. Sometimes it’s consistently been a shorter skirt with the bottom hem cutting off squares or very close to squares. Sometimes they’ve added another row of squares, and/or a third size. There’s been a lot of different cutout placement strategies over the years and this just seems to be the most current for the UK.
There are similar versions of specific placements for cutouts for just about every costume design now. Boleyn is just particularly noticeable because it has much larger cutouts and by extension less wiggle room before it starts to look odd. Black alt is the other one with large cutouts, and Sofia has already written up a post about that placement here.

I really wish the 23-24 UK tour queens were talked about more, I feel like they haven’t gotten as much buzz recently since they haven’t dealt with SIX chaos in a while. Such a fun cast.
