As a french student I know more about the American war for independence from watching Hamilton than I do about any part of french history after 6 years of studying it for 3 hours a week.
My favorite thing about Six is that it tends to cast younger, more unknown names. But if you had to cast incredibly established Broadway/West End names as each of the queens who would you pick (personally I’m DYING for a Shoshana Bean!Seymour haha)
So I was debating on how established to go with, partially because I'm always a horrible judge of how much someone is established vs someone I just keep up with a lot and partially because Broadway has not always prioritized women of color enough in their casting. But I generally included actors with at least one lead credit on Broadway and usually at least one Tony nom (w/ a few exceptions).
