Summary
- Dylan Mulvaney begins rehearsals for her Broadway debut as Anne Boleyn.
- The role in 'Six' is seen as a significant milestone for a transgender performer.
- Mulvaney previously wrote and performed a one-woman show Off-Broadway.
TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney is embarking on her Broadway debut, commencing rehearsals on January 19, 2026, for her role as Anne Boleyn in the acclaimed musical 'Six.' The show is set to premiere on February 16, 2026. Mulvaney, known for her viral "Days of Girlhood" series chronicling her transition, acknowledges the mixed reactions to her casting, including criticism of her abilities, but chooses to focus on the significance of this moment.
She describes her upcoming Broadway performance as a "miracle," particularly as a transgender individual navigating a world that can feel hostile. Mulvaney's theatrical journey includes her recent Off-Broadway run of 'The Least Problematic Woman in the World,' a one-woman show she penned, which had a limited engagement from October 7 to November 30, 2025. This play was partly inspired by the backlash she faced following a 2023 Bud Light sponsorship, prompting her to write her own material due to casting challenges.
Mulvaney, who holds a BFA in musical theatre, previously toured nationally as Elder White in 'The Book of Mormon.' Her Broadway debut in 'Six,' a production that celebrates femininity, represents a powerful moment for transgender representation in theater, highlighting her resilience and talent.
