Dylan Mulvaney, a well-known transgender influencer who gained widespread attention during the 2023 Bud Light controversy, is preparing to step onto the Broadway stage as Anne Boleyn in the celebrated feminist musical “SIX.” This development highlights the ongoing presence of progressive ideologies in the entertainment industry, despite significant public pushback during the last national election cycle.

Mulvaney’s casting in this key role may stir debate, as it involves portraying a historical female figure, raising questions about representation and inclusivity. The choice to have Mulvaney bring Anne Boleyn to life on stage is seen by some as a bold move, while others feel it detracts from opportunities for cisgender female performers.

The decision sparks conversation about the intersection of gender identity and historical storytelling, with some critics arguing that it undermines the narrative of women’s progress. Yet, it also reflects the evolving landscape of theater, where traditional boundaries are increasingly challenged.

The announcement was made in a characteristically playful manner by the “SIX” production team on their official X account, alluding to Boleyn’s infamous fate with a touch of humor. This casting choice, regardless of differing opinions, highlights Broadway’s ongoing exploration of diverse perspectives and narratives.

More like it’s mocking women.

The official X account for “Six” announced the news Friday with a cheeky reference to Boleyn’s beheading.

“Losing our heads to introduce your newest Anne Boleyn!” they wrote. “Show some royal love to Queen Dylan Mulvaney, who will be joining the #SIXBroadway 5.0 cast as Anne Boleyn starting February 16!”

A little background on “Six”: The Tony-winning show reimagines Henry VIII’s six wives as a modern pop girl group. Why is anybody’s guess. It sounds like “Hamilton” only a lot worse, which would be difficult to do.

The musical has been championed as “21st-century girl power.” It is, to a very specific degree, about women in history.

Yet, here comes a biological man stepping into one of the major roles. To portray one of the most tragically executed queens in English history. Nothing screams authentic female empowerment like casting Dylan Mulvaney as a woman who was executed because her husband simply didn’t want to be married to her any longer.

But then, it’s probably not much of a surprise, considering “Six” was co-created by Toby Marlow, described as the “first openly non-binary” Tony award winner. Whatever that is.

Mulvaney, who has over 9 million followers on TikTok, appeared in a pair of videos pitching Bud Light roughly three years ago. To say it didn’t go very well would be an understatement.

The videos received significant public pushback, and consumers voiced their displeasure with the company’s transition to a woke sales pitch, taking their hard-earned dollars elsewhere.

The result? Bud Light sales dropped by 25-30% in peak months for a significant period after the controversial videos were released. By some measures, they’re still struggling to recover from the fallout.

“The Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney disaster will be forever looked at historically as a reference point for failed brand marketing,” RedState’s Brad Slager explains.

Will fans of Broadway musicals express their disdain by taking their ticket money elsewhere? I suspect the element attending a musical like “Six” isn’t going to be swayed or dismayed nearly as much.
