Get ready for some royal drama on Broadway! The hit musical 'Six' is welcoming a new cast of queens, and it's a game-changer for musical theatre fans.
Starting February 16, the Lena Horne Theatre will be buzzing with excitement as TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney takes on the role of Anne Boleyn, and the brilliant Abigail Barlow, known for her viral 'Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Album', steps into the shoes of Katherine Howard. But here's where it gets controversial... these fresh faces are not just social media sensations; they're seasoned musical theatre artists with impressive credentials.
Mulvaney, a trans woman, has captivated audiences with her 'Days of Girlhood' series, and Barlow, a graduate of the Alabama School of Fine Arts, has been making waves in the industry. And this is the part most people miss: both have proven their talent beyond the online realm, with Barlow recently composing for 'Moana 2' and Mulvaney making her Off-Broadway debut.
The original cast members, Adrianna Hicks and Anna Uzele, will return as Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Parr, respectively, joined by Olivia Donalson as Anna of Cleves. The musical's journey is a testament to its success, having won the 2022 Tony for Best Original Score and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical.
So, what do you think? Are you excited to see these new queens take the stage? Or do you prefer the original cast? Let's spark a friendly debate in the comments! Musical theatre is a vibrant art form, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this exciting cast change.
