Dylan Mulvaney in auditions for Broadway’s “Cabaret”

The toast of Mayfair, Fraulein … Dylan Mulvaney.

Page Six has exclusively learned that the much-discussed actress-turned-influencer — who has gained 10.6 million followers on TikTok documenting her journey as a transgender woman — was invited to audition for the upcoming Broadway revival of “Cabaret.”

The show, which won seven Olivier Awards in London, is coming to the Great White Way with Eddie Redmayne expected to take the male lead.

And we’re told that while the cast for the Spring opening at the August Wilson Theater is already in place, producers have auditioned Mulvaney to take over the female lead British cabaret performer Sally Bowles if the show has a long run in New York.

The role has previously been famously played by Liza Minelli, Michelle Williams, Emma Stone and Sienna Miller.

Before she became a TikTok superstar, Mulvaney got her bachelors in musical theater and has appeared in a national tour of the “Book of Mormon,” playing the lead role Elder White, as well as Off-Broadway productions.

She became a reluctant lighting rod in April when she posted a video of herself with a special can of Bud Light that had her face printed on it.

The move sparked a right-wing backlash and a boycott that knocked some $5 billion off the stock price of its parent company, Anheuser-Busch and saw Modelo overtake the beer as America’s bestselling brew.

Bud Light received backlash for a promotion with the influencer.

At the time, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said the company “never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.”

Mulvaney addressed the controversy in June, saying, “What transpired from that video was more bullying and transphobia than I could have ever imagined. For months now I’ve been scared to leave my house, I’ve been ridiculed in public, I’ve been followed, and I have felt a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”

She added, “For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse, in my opinion, than not hiring a trans person at all.” Mulvaney claimed that they didn’t reach out to her privately during the crisis, either.

Bud Light responded saying, “We remain committed to the programs and partnerships we have forged over decades with organizations across a number of communities, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.”

“Cabaret” takes place in a nightclub in Berlin as the Nazis rise to power.

Bowles was played in the London production by Jessie Buckley and is currently running with director Judd Apatow’s daughter, Maude, in the role.

The show was last on Broadway in 2014 with Williams, Stone and Miller taking turns playing Bowles.

Shia LaBeouf was famously arrested for drunken behavior during the intermission at one of the New York performances, which featured Alan Cumming as the Emcee.

Minelli took the role in the 1972 movie opposite Joel Grey.
