The Broadway musical 'Six' has faced a wave of backlash and controversy after casting trans actress and TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney as Anne Boleyn. The decision sparked a heated debate, with many on the right and gender-critical accounts on X.com calling it 'woke' and arguing that the role should have gone to someone assigned female at birth. In response, the musical's X account was made private and locked to non-followers, while the Instagram account disabled comments on Mulvaney's casting announcement. Despite the criticism, Mulvaney has received support from others who argue that the show's focus on femininity and iconic female figures makes it irrelevant to historical accuracy. Mulvaney herself expressed her excitement and determination to prove her abilities as a Broadway performer, emphasizing the significance of her role in a world that often works against trans individuals. She shared a video on Instagram, thanking her followers for their support and addressing the hate she's received. Mulvaney's previous credits include 'The Book of Mormon', 'Legally Blonde', and a one-woman show, 'The Least Problematic Woman in the World'. She will join the cast of 'Six' on February 16 at the Lena Horne Theatre, marking a milestone in her career.
