DYLAN MULVANEY MAKING BROADWAY DEBUT IN MUSICAL SIX: ROLE REVEALED
Originally appeared on E! Online
Dylan Mulvaney is saying oui, oui, bonjour to Broadway.
The TikToker is officially making her Broadway debut in Six, taking on the role of Anne Boleyn in the musical that reimagines the wives of King Henry VII as a girl group performing a pop concert.
“YAY BROADWAY,” Dylan wrote on Instagram Jan. 16 confirming the news. “So happy my bway debut is playing a fellow polarizing woman in this perfect musical next month.”
“I hope you will all come watch me live my dream,” the 29-year-old added. “I am SO HAPPY I CANT STOP SMILING.”
Dylan is set to take on the role beginning Feb. 16 alongside Grammy winner Abigail Barlow who is making her own Broadway debut as Katherine Howard. And returning for another trip 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.

And Dylan is more than ready to take part in the histo-remix, joking in another Instagram post that she’ll be playing “an iconic controversial woman” who rather famously “gets beheaded,” as the former Queen of England was executed in 1536.
The transgender rights advocate is no stranger to the stage, having previously appeared in the national tour of Book of Mormon, as well as in her 2025 one-woman, Off-Broadway show The Least Problematic Woman in the World.
Dylan—who shared her gender transition process on social media starting in 2022—credits Kristin Chenoweth with inspiring her to pursue a life on the stage. Indeed, Dylan wrote to Kristin during her 2010 to 2011 run in Promises Promises, asking the Tony winner to join her for coffee.
“Crazy enough, I get an email that was like, ‘Kristin has never received a better letter in her life,’” she told MTV UK in 2025. “‘No, she can’t go to coffee with you, but she’d like to bring you backstage at Promises Promises.’”
“We go see the show, she brings us backstage, she’s like, ‘You’re going to sing with me one day and you’re going to do this with your life, I already know it,’” Dylan recalled. “She basically was like, ‘Go with God and do musical theater, and I will see you on the stage.’”
