Dylan Mulvaney cast as Anne Boleyn

I guess trans activists don't like him because his whole schtick is based on taking the piss. I actually found some of the early stuff mildly amusing. But it's a one note joke.

From previous press coverage, I seem to remember that his family are wealthy Californians who have historically supported the Republican party.

You literally said: "It's literally a musical it's not that big of a deal omg".

You consider your values and discernment to be superior to mine. You consider that you have better insight into what is important than I do.

If you don't understand how that comes across when a man says it to a woman that is your problem.

Oh, and I do not follow neo-sexist Genderist beliefs so I use sex based language. By my beliefs, by my values, you are a man.

So if you consider that offensive, please recognise that I find men believing that "woman" means a type of mind just as offensive. Perhaps more so, given the undeniable history of oppression women expereinced and still experiece under the name "woman" because of our biological sex, and in part because those very beliefs about a certain type of mind that you wish to impose upon us being unfairly tied to the inescapble reality of our biological sex.

Not a chance she would have landed the role - but the abject failings of a second (third?) rate male playing the same role can be overlooked, it seems.

Indeed, @SirChenjins. Would an actual woman - the boring, non-stunning biological female sort - have been cast in the role if this was the best she could do? I highly doubt it.

It's true - sad times. It's also true that no matter how much you really really want to be a woman, it's simply not enough to gurn, sing off-key and jump about. If you're going to insert your male privilege into a female space, at least have the decency not to cock up the role.

Sadly, he probably did his best. Just, you know...

Just to address this - the MegaSix at the end is explicitly there to be videoed.

In which case, you'd have thought DM would have put some effort into getting at least that bit right.

I genuinely didn't know that. Bit unfortunate for Dylan then, eh?

I'm not really against a man playing the role in drag (or a woman playing Henry, if he were to appear onstage), musical theatre is not supposed to be a hyper realistic genre. But it only works if the performance brings something, be that humour, poignancy, quality of singing or dancing, etc.

You’re encouraged to film that bit.

If he’s a woman why is he still mincing?

Just to address this - the MegaSix at the end is explicitly there to be videoed, Cleves tells the audience to 'get your phones out, you're gonna wanna film this' and who would disobey a queen?

It's a massive shame for the talented women in the show. Six Broadway socials seem to be pushing the return of Adrianna Hicks and Anna Uzele more now the massive shortcomings of Mulvaney have been exposed but they should have focused on them in the first place. Too late now.

When I saw SIX you were encouraged to stand up, dance, film and sing along to the final number.

So I suspect it’s video of the Megasix finale that’s doing the rounds, where he’ll stand out even more as all the actors take part in it.

Agent Mulvaney continues to peak people. He is such a talentless grifter that he alienates even true believers

Dylan Mulvaney continues path of ‘mocking womanhood’

https://www.skynews.com.au/opinion/rita-panahi/dylan-mulvaney-continues-path-of-mocking-womanhood/video/e95aa28aae2c03ac7d4b837b2e5c71c8

Mulvaney is a misogynist piss-taker, but using phones to film/take photos in the theatre is tedious behaviour.

It's literally a Broadway musical that people have paid lots of money to see omg, not some high school production. I don't suppose they thought they'd see such a poor performance from someone who appears to think he's on par with the female cast - they no doubt assumed he'd be up to the job.

What's with the hating btw? Such drama.

You can value having a range of different opinions to draw from at the same time as thinking one specific opinion (or indeed opiner) is talking absolute mince. Hth.

Not a man, also never called you dumb or that you can't understand this.

I have however criticised you for going OTT about a casting for a musical. I thought you valued different opinions?

He's not there as a performer, though. He's there for rubbernecking. I find this man pretty irritating, but I think its cruel to put him in this position. Sure, its generating publicity - here we are talking about it - but its at his expense.

The comments are interesting. People who are pro trans don’t like this. https://x.com/miriamr458128/status/2024171660509598195?s=46

remmeber, this eejit was invited to the Whitehouse, I’ve never really understood why. He was new to pretending to be a woman, plenty of others had done political advocacy for TRAs and weren’t invited for a scone with Biden.

he must be very well connected. Anyone know how much he’s worth now?

He is just endlessly obnoxious, regardless of his cosplay.

Regarding the 'all female' claim - I'd guess they're counting on no-one who's forked out £100-plus per ticket being prepared to boo.

I saw Six on broadway last week. The vocals were fantastic. Thank god I missed DM’s performance. It does pride itself on being an all female cast and says it at the start of the show. I wonder if they kept that bit in….

One character, different outfit

No hate from me for being Trans.

But his performance is poor. It’s not up Broadway standards and we shouldn’t have to pretend that it is just because of who he is.
