Dylan Mulvaney Cast as Anne Boleyn in Broadway’s Six Starting Feb. 16

The announcement highlights how her Bud Light controversy continues to shape public reaction.

Overview

  • Six’s official X account said Mulvaney will join the #SIXBroadway 5.0 cast as Anne Boleyn beginning February 16, marking her Broadway debut.
  • Mulvaney celebrated the news on social media, calling it her dream and inviting fans to see her in the role next month.
  • PinkNews observed the show’s X account set to private and noted that comments were turned off on the Instagram post announcing her casting.
  • Online reaction has been split, with right‑wing and gender‑critical accounts criticizing the decision and others defending it as consistent with the show’s stylized, pop‑concert framing.
  • Six opened at the Lena Horne Theatre in 2021 and won the 2022 Tony for Best Original Score, while Mulvaney’s 2023 Bud Light partnership previously led to reported sales declines tracked by NielsenIQ and Bump Williams Consulting and to marketing executives being placed on leave.
