Kirstin Maldonado, the renowned singer-songwriter and member of the Grammy Award-winning group Pentatonix, is set to take the Broadway stage once again. This time, she will join the cast of the hit musical 'Six' as Anne Boleyn, beginning June 1st. Maldonado's addition to the cast brings a unique blend of talent and experience to the production, as she steps into the role previously held by Dylan Mulvaney.
Maldonado's journey to Broadway is not a new one. In 2018, she made her Broadway debut in the musical 'Kinky Boots' as Lauren, showcasing her versatility and range as an actress and singer. Her time with Pentatonix has been equally impressive, with the group achieving global success and driving billions of streams. As the resident mezzo-soprano, Maldonado has been instrumental in shaping the group's signature sound, contributing to their three Grammy Awards and Daytime Emmy Award nominations.
'Six' is a Tony Award-winning musical that tells the story of the six wives of Henry VIII. It has been running at the Lena Horne Theatre with an all-female cast, and Maldonado's addition will bring a new dynamic to the production. The current cast includes Adrianna Hicks as Catherine of Aragon, Jasmine Forsberg as Jane Seymour, Olivia Donalson as Anna of Cleves, Abigail Barlow as Katherine Howard, and Anna Uzele as Catherine Parr. The show's unique approach to historical figures and its powerful female-led narrative have resonated with audiences worldwide.
Maldonado's solo career has also been noteworthy. Her 2017 debut EP, 'L O V E.', reached the top spot on the iTunes Top Pop Albums chart. She has collaborated with artists like Play-N-Skillz and Syn Cole and has written for artists such as Mickey Guyton. This diverse range of experiences makes her a valuable asset to the 'Six' cast, as she brings a fresh perspective to the role of Anne Boleyn.
The musical's success and cultural impact are undeniable. With Maldonado's involvement, 'Six' is poised to continue its run, captivating audiences and offering a unique take on historical figures. Her addition to the cast is a testament to her versatility and talent, and it will be fascinating to see how she interprets the role of Anne Boleyn. As a fan of musical theater, I am excited to see Maldonado's take on this iconic character and how it will enhance the show's already impressive lineup.
