""Show some royal love to Queen Dylan Mulvaney, who will be joining the #SIXBroadway 5.0 cast as Anne Boleyn," producers announced last week."
""YAY BROADWAY! 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 I am SO HAPPY I CANT STOP SMILING.""
""They've made Anne Boleyn trans. You know, Anne Boleyn. The British queen who was slandered by her abusive husband and then beheaded because she gave birth to a girl. Yeah, that Anne Boleyn," posted another aggrieved bigot. "She's being played by a person with a penìs.""
Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, will play Anne Boleyn in Six the Musical on Broadway. Six retells the six wives' lives as a modern pop concert and won the 2022 Tony Award for Best Original Score. Producers announced Mulvaney joining the 5.0 cast and Mulvaney posted enthusiastic remarks about making a Broadway debut and playing a polarizing woman. The casting prompted a surge of transphobic comments online, leading producers to set the show's X account to private. Commenters misgendered and attacked Mulvaney and falsely claimed that the playwrights made Anne Boleyn transgender, while the casting is a trans actress portraying a cisgender historical figure.
