Here’s my prior post about the alternate variations used for Aragon.
Student Productions, Arts Theatre, and Emergency Cover
Pictured: Megan Gilbert (Student productions, unknown), Renee Lamb (Arts Theatre Off-West End, promo pictures), Renee Lamb (Emergency cover, 1st UK Tour, 30 or 31 Dec 2018, @/iamreneelamb)
Renee Lamb returned briefly as an emergency cover for the 2018 UK Tour.*
If you’re not familiar with these productions, you can read about them on the Six Wiki.
Aragon 1.0, 1st UK Tour (Jarneia Richard-Noel)
Pictured: Norwich photo shoot, Aug 2018, @/kevinwilsonpr; 11 Jul 2018, @/_jrchardnoel; 15 Jul 2018, @/_jrchardnoel
Most changes during this period were to Jaye’J’s wig, jewelry, and makeup, with some minimal changes to the costume itself. The
Aragon 1.0 (continued)
Pictured: Jarneia Richard Noel (West End, Arts Theatre, promo pictures); Lauren Drew (2nd UK Tour, unknown date, found on @/_laurendrew1); Adrianna Hicks (1st North American Tour, found on @/missadriannahicks)
The overall costume design mostly stayed the same between the 1st UK Tour and these subsequent productions.
Aragon 1.0 (continued)
Pictured: Candace Furbert (Bliss 1.0, unknown date, @/entertainer40), Jasmine Shen (Breakaway 1.0, possibly 27 Nov 2019, @/_jasmine_shen_)
The Aragon 1.0 design mostly stayed the same for the cruise casts.
Aragon 1.0 (continued)
Pictured: Chloe Zuel (Aus/NZ Tour, 27 Feb 2020, @/chloezuel); Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert (Alternate, Broadway previews, 1 Mar 2020, @/nila_kyoungmi)
Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert went on unexpectedly as Aragon during the Broadway previews. She wore Adrianna Hick’s costume from the 1st North American Tour instead of her own alternate costume due to Broadway rules.
Aragon 2.0
Pictured: Jarneia Richard Noel (West End, Arts and Lyric Theatre, 12 Dec 2020, @/tudorvonsnaps); Lauren Drew (2nd UK Tour, 5 Mar 2020, @/_laurendrew1);** Adrianna Hicks (Broadway, unknown date, promo photos)
All three of these actresses had previously worn 1.0 before recieving the 2.0 update. For Lauren Drew and Jarneia Richard Noel, this happened mid-run; for Adrianna Hicks this happened when the North American tour transferred to Broadway.
The Broadway alternates and Jade Marvin will be wearing this outfit.
For Six’s transfer to the Lyric Theatre, Jaye’J got an update to her wig, makeup, and jewelry (pictured).
Note: Some differences do exist between the ones I have listed here as the same version. I will go into greater detail on some of those in upcoming posts about the individual versions.
* While other queens (like Lauren Drew) have worn an emergency cover costume as Aragon, I will be including those in a separate post. **Lauren Drew was just announced as the Aragon for the next UK and Ireland Tour, which I’ll be referring to as the 3rd UK and Ireland Tour. If any costume changes are made I will update this post to reflect them.
Chloé Zuel as Jenna Hunterson (Waitress)
Dob: October 3,1988
Age: 32
Other Roles Include: Eliza Hamilton-Schuyler (Hamilton:an American musical) Catherine of Aragon (Six the musical) Anita (West side story)
