A dream years in the making

Dylan Mulvaney has officially joined the cast of Six: The Musical, marking a defining milestone in her career with her Broadway debut as Anne Boleyn. 

The 29-year-old performer stepped onto the stage at New York’s Lena Horne Theatre to roaring applause, later describing the experience as the “best night of my entire life.” 

For Mulvaney, the moment was the culmination of years of theatre training, perseverance, and a lifelong ambition to perform on Broadway.

Before becoming a household name through her viral ‘Days of Girlhood’ TikTok series, Mulvaney trained professionally in musical theatre and performed in national tours. 

Though her online presence introduced her to millions, she has consistently spoken about her desire to return to the stage in a major production. 

Her casting in Six signals a full-circle return to her theatrical roots.

Stepping into the role of Anne Boleyn

Six has become one of Broadway’s most vibrant and empowering productions, reimagining the six wives of Henry VIII as a contemporary pop girl group reclaiming their stories. 

The role of Anne Boleyn - witty, bold and unapologetically outspoken - offers Mulvaney a dynamic character to inhabit. 

Known for her humour and charisma, she brings a fresh energy to one of the musical’s most memorable queens.

Opening night was marked by enthusiastic audience reactions and visible emotion from Mulvaney herself. 

Supporters filled the theatre, celebrating her debut in a production that continues to draw global acclaim.

A cultural moment on Broadway

While her casting sparked discussion across social media, the atmosphere inside the theatre reflected celebration and solidarity. 

Mulvaney’s Broadway debut stands as a significant moment of visibility for the LGBTQ+ community within mainstream theatre.

As she takes her place among the Tudor queens, Mulvaney’s performance in Six underscores the evolving landscape of Broadway casting and storytelling. 

For the performer who once documented her journey day by day online, stepping into the spotlight on Broadway is both a professional triumph and the realisation of a long-held dream.
