Get ready, theater lovers! Dylan Mulvaney, the beloved TikTok star, is about to grace the Broadway stage, and the news is creating quite a buzz. She's stepping into the spotlight in Six, the electrifying musical that reimagines the lives of King Henry VIII's wives as a pop group.
Mulvaney is set to embody the role of Anne Boleyn, a figure whose story is both fascinating and, yes, controversial.
On January 16th, Mulvaney excitedly announced her Broadway debut on Instagram, expressing her joy at portraying a "polarizing woman" in this perfect musical. She's clearly thrilled to be living out her dream, and who can blame her?
But here's where it gets exciting: Mulvaney isn't just stepping onto any stage; she's joining a production that's already a smash hit. She'll be performing alongside Grammy winner Abigail Barlow, who is also making her Broadway debut as Katherine Howard. Returning to the Haus of Holbein are original cast members Adrianna Hicks as Catherine of Aragon and Anna Uzele as Catherine Parr, with former star Olivia Donaldson also returning as Anna of Cleves.
Mulvaney's excitement is palpable, and her Instagram posts are filled with playful hints about her role. She even joked about playing "an iconic controversial woman" who, as history buffs know, met a rather unfortunate end.
It's worth noting that Mulvaney is no stranger to the stage. She's previously appeared in the national tour of Book of Mormon and showcased her talent in the Off-Broadway show The Least Problematic Woman in the World in 2025. This experience surely prepared her for the bright lights of Broadway.
Mulvaney, who documented her gender transition on social media starting in 2022, credits Kristin Chenoweth as a key inspiration in her journey.
In a heartwarming story, Mulvaney wrote to Chenoweth during her run in Promises Promises, and the interaction led to a backstage visit. Chenoweth's encouragement sealed the deal, inspiring Mulvaney to pursue her dreams in musical theater.
And this is the part most people miss...
