"I've gotten so many lovely messages since this was announced, especially from folks that have followed me since the beginning of my journey. I just want to thank you so much and I hope you get to enjoy this as much as I do,"
"I've also gotten some not so lovely messages questioning my abilities, or just hating in general. My first instinct was to come on her and try to convince those people that I do have what it takes to be a Broadway performer and to tell you why. Then I realised that I shouldn't waste my breath on that because this is a miracle,"
"It's a miracle for anyone to make it to Broadway. There are so many incredible performers that deserve to be and I genuinely hope that they will."
Dylan Mulvaney made her debut as Anne Boleyn in Six at the Lena Horne Theatre on February 16. Abigail Barlow joined the cast as Katherine Howard, with Adrianna Hicks, Anna Uzele, and Olivia Donalson returning as Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Parr, and Anne of Cleves. The production's X account was locked after a torrent of abuse from largely right‑wing, gender‑critical, and anti‑woke accounts. Much criticism focused on a trans woman portraying a cisgender historical figure and questioned Mulvaney's theatrical experience. Mulvaney responded on TikTok's "Days of Girlhood" series, thanking supporters and declining to engage with trolls while calling the opportunity a miracle.
