Heart of Stone

"Heart of Stone"
by Natalie Paris from SIX The Musical

DAY 26 — I haven't had a chance to see this musical myself yet, but my wife saw it on a trip to New York in spring of 2024 and came back raving about it. Apparently it's a modern retelling of story of Henry VIII's six wives, and each of them is modeled after a famous pop star (Catherine of Aragorn is based on Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, Anne Boleyn is based on Avril Lavigne and Lily Allen, Jane Seymour is based on Adele and Sia and Celine Dion, Anna of Cleves is based on Nicky Minaj and Rihanna, Katherine Howard is based on Britney Spears and Ariana Grande, and Catherine Parr is based on Alicia Keys and Emeli Sande). This song is by Natalie Paris, who originally played Jane Seymour and it's such a beautiful song. I've listened to this throughout the year and would honestly go see the musical just for this song.
