New casting has been announced for Broadway’s “SIX,” Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s Tony Award-winning musical, with a mix of newcomers and returning favorites joining the production at the Lena Horne Theatre.
Beginning on Feb. 16, the Broadway company will welcome two performers making their Broadway debuts. Dylan Mulvaney will step into the role of Anne Boleyn and Grammy Award winner Abigail Barlow will join the Queendom as Katherine Howard. They will be joined by returning cast members Adrianna Hicks as Catherine of Aragon, Olivia Donalson as Anna of Cleves and Anna Uzele as Catherine Parr. A replacement for Jane Seymour has not yet been announced. Current alternates Aryn Bohannon, Sierra Fermin, Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert and Aiyana Smash will also continue in their respective roles.
Mulvaney is a performer, writer and digital creator best known for her Off-Broadway solo show “The Least Problematic Woman in the World” and her viral TikTok series “Days of Girlhood.” She has appeared in concert and cabaret performances across the country and has released original music and comedy content online.
Barlow is a Grammy-winning songwriter and performer who rose to prominence as half of the duo behind “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Album.” Her recent screen credits include the animated feature “Moana 2,” for which she contributed music, and she has released multiple EPs as a recording artist.
