* The fact that the entire competition between the Wives was faked the entire time, just to point out how dumb it is to compare them, especially based off of their marriage to Henry VIII alone.
* Truthfully, the very concept, taking the six women who have historically been reduced to Henry VIII's wives and a children's rhyme about their fate and showing them reclaiming their story. Even the BittersweetEnding has shades of this, because while they may not be able to change history, they've shared their story and made these women PEOPLE again, given them their own narratives that show them as individuals, and not just the revolving door of Henry's wives.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf_8sOA-RjI This flash mob at the Tower of London.]] Can cross into Heartwarming given that was where Katherine Howard and Anne Boleyn's executions took place, making it quite the tribute.
* The songs. You have
** Ex-Wives. It seems a bog standard recitation of the rhyme the Queens are famous for, before they ''rip that to shreds'', basically saying "No, this is OUR story, and ''we'll'' be the ones to tell it."
** A latin-american themed rebuttal to Henry the 8th's divorce in "No Way"
** "Don't lose ur Head" seems to be a shallow pop song, but a closer examination reveals it to be an account of how Anne ''did'' "lose her head" both literally and by getting carried away
** Heart Of Stone is a soft ballad to what appears to be Henry, but is actually their son, Prince Edward.
*** Seymour's high note near the end of "Heart of Stone." Every Seymour absolutely slays it.
** WELCOME TO ZE HAUS! TO ZE HAUS OF HOLBEIN!
** Get Down: showing that Anne of Cleves is more than happy having ''the run of her own castle'', and briefly indicating an interest in Protestantism.
*** Speaking of high notes, Brittany Mack (original Broadway Cleves) brings her opera diva A-game in for a line in "Get Down". The cast recording and other productions have it being a slo-mo effect, but Mack goes in with high notes and operatic diction on "Get down, you dirty rascal!" often to audience applause.
*** The moment she reveals her outfit at "As he takes my fur..." counts to, to the point that the show halts momentarily because the audience ''won't stop cheering!''
** All You Wanna do: Like Boleyn before her, seems to be a shallow song, but is really a cutting commentary on how she was abused by not just Henry but three other men in her life. Many actresses portray Howard as having a full HeroicBSOD by the song's end.
** I Don't Need your Love: A DearJohnLetter in musical form.
** "Six" besides being the title number, is a touching look at what might have happened in better circumstances to the queens, while acknowledging this is just ONE interpretation of the events.
