Dylan Mulvaney

And so I had auditioned in 2021, and I remember looking up to God after the final callback, because I was up for Anne Boleyn at the time, and this was for the touring production.

And I was like, God, if I get this, I will be happy and I will never ask for anything ever again.

And what's so funny was then when I got the call that I got it this last year around maybe October, I was like, it flashed me back to, have you had a moment where you've asked for something or like really wanted something and then it presents to you like years later?

And you're in a completely different place.

I'm going to ask for more.

But it was this full circle.

Like, you never know when something's going to be at the right time and when it finally— Also, what's crazy about Broadway is so many people have to say yes to you.

You've got the casting directors, the directors, the choreographers, the producers.

Interesting.

And I think especially because Broadway, I think at this level, it's commercial.

And so they're trying to make money off of a show.

And so they need to decide if you're a profitable performer and if you can really do eight shows a week.

And so that, I think, is...

knowing that over the past few years, I had met all of these people that helped get me into this show, like the writers, Toby and Lucy, who are now really good friends.

They wrote a song for my Day 365 live at the Rainbow Room.

They wrote a show for my one-woman show in New York at the Lortel.

So, like, all of these relationships were kind of, like, popping up over the past few years.

And now...

You know, I start performing in two weeks and it's February 16th and I'll be in it for a few months.

And that's good because I have a lot of people coming the first night and I'm like, oh, give me a few days.
