Ex-Wives (Reprise) Lyrics – Six
Ex-Wives (Reprise) Lyrics
Moment in the show: Immediately after the full “Ex-Wives,” just before “No Way”
What it does onstage: A 30-second recap and hand-off to Aragon’s solo
Why it never made the cast album: Too short (under 40 s) to justify a studio cut
[ALL]
Welcome to the show
To the coronation
Who will take the crown
Be the pop sensation?
Everybody knows that?we?used to be?six wives (Six wives)
Six wives (Six?wives)
Six wives
What it does onstage: A 30-second recap and hand-off to Aragon’s solo
Why it never made the cast album: Too short (under 40 s) to justify a studio cut
[ALL]
Welcome to the show
To the coronation
Who will take the crown
Be the pop sensation?
Everybody knows that?we?used to be?six wives (Six wives)
Six wives (Six?wives)
Six wives
This brisk callback to the opening number pops up only in the live stage script—nestled between “Ex-Wives” and Catherine of Aragon’s powerhouse solo “No Way.” In these few measures the Queens break the fourth wall to spell out the evening’s “rules”: they’ll settle once and for all who endured the worst of Henry VIII’s abuses, and whichever Queen makes the most compelling case will be crowned front-woman of their pop group.
