* TheProductionCurse: A strange phenomenon occurs whenever a performer is cast as "Alternate Catherine of Aragon and Anna of Cleves". It has to be that specific combination; if a performer covers Aragon, Cleves, and also a third other role as a first cover set, then the "curse" will not apply to them. Anyone cast as Alternate Aragon/Cleves has consistently made the least amount of debuts compared to the rest of their cast. This was recently broken by West End alternate Monique Ashe-Palmer.
