Kirstin Maldonado, a founding member of the Grammy-winning group Pentatonix, has returned to Broadway, starring as Queen Anne Boleyn in the hit musical SIX: The Musical. She began her run on June 1 and will continue until August 9, performing at the Lena Horne Theatre.
Maldonado's previous Broadway engagement was in Kinky Boots in 2018. She described that experience as a dream come true and a beautiful personal transition. Now, she aims to portray Anne Boleyn with a "badass" and "pop, punk" quality.
This return is significant as Maldonado is now a mother to two children, Elliana and Theo, with her husband Ben Hausdorff. She notes that being a parent influences her energy and priorities, adding a new dimension of value to her artistic output.
SIX: The Musical, a Tony Award-winning production, reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as a girl group. Maldonado expressed her deep admiration for the show, having loved it since seeing a touring production, calling it "great" with moments that evoked laughter and tears.
