1	* The musical style, in general, is ''very'' [[InspirationNod evocative]] of girl groups and female pop stars: from Music/BritneySpears to Music/DestinysChild to Music/LittleMix to Music/CharliXCX to Music/{{Beyonce}}.
2	* Katherine Howard's high ponytail is a blatant reference to Ariana Grande's iconic hairstyle.
3	* While the opening rhyme has existed since at least the 19th century, it's deployed here in a way that's very similar to the intro to [[Theatre/{{Chicago}} Cell Block Tango]].
4	* Catherine of Aragon, depending on the production, asks the audience if they remember the queens from [[{{Creator/PBS}} PBS]], Creator/TheHistoryChannel, or their [[UsefulNotes/GCSEs GCSEs]].
5	* Catherine Parr proclaims, [[Music/{{Poison}} "Every (Tudor) Rose Has Its Thorns"]].
6	* Anne Boleyn calls herself [[Literature/TheOtherBoleynGirl "that Boleyn girl"]].
7	* Jane Seymour also gets the line "stick around and you'll [[Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors suddenly see more]]".
8	* Catherine Parr declares, "I'm the [[Music/DestinysChild survivor]]."
9	** In "I Don't Need Your Love", the melody she sings ''all the women/could independently study scripture'' on comes from [[Music/DestinysChild Independent Woman]].
10	* Anne Boleyn sings the first line of [[Music/SpiceGirls "Wannabe"]].
11	--> ''Tell me what you want, what you really really want! [{{Beat}}] ...To know.''
12	* The backing percussion/clapping to the verses of "Don't Lose Ur Head" sound ''very'' similar to "Mickey" by Toni Basil.
13	* Anne Boleyn employs the use of the nursery rhyme "three in the bed, and the little one said..." to describe her situation with Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon.
14	--> ''...if you wanna be wed, make up your mind!''
15	* Anne Boleyn humorously calls herself "prêt à manger", referencing the UK-based restaurant chain Pret A Manger.
16	* The matchmaking scene that takes place after "Haus of Holbein" references Tinder as an off-stage Henry "swipes" left or right to denote his decision on each prospective wife.
17	* "Get Down" has the line "[[Music/{{Lemonade}} Okay, ladies, let's get in reformation]]."
18	** It also has "[[Music/KanyeWest I ain't saying I'm a gold digger…]]"
19	* "All You Wanna Do" has an ''extremely'' similar beat, hook, and riff to "Womanizer" by Music/BritneySpears.
20	* Katherine Howard claims she was "Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty" when she allegedly lost her virginity to Henry Mannox.
21	** She also refers to Henry Mannox as "[[Theatre/TheMusicMan Music Man]]" during "Six".
22	** The melodic line for "And maybe this is it" is a pared-down version of the melodic line for "I dreamed a dream in time gone by" in "I Dreamed A Dream" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', which is ''also'' a young woman recounting being used and abandoned by a man whom she thought loved her but only wanted to use her for sex (and who eventually died because of the consequences).
