Open Air Musical With Live Horses

Staged on the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College - the exact site of the former Palace of Placentia, a place inextricably intertwined with Tudor history and the home where Anne Boleyn herself once lived - Anne Boleyn: The Musical makes its debut as an open-air theatrical event! Directed by Roxana Silbert, with a score composed by Selma Greenwood, book by Rebecca Night and lyrics by Night and Sam Kenyon, a specially built covered venue plays host to this grand production, starring real horses and with elaborate period costumes creating a genuine spectacle. 

What Is It About?

Taking place in the very landscape where a part of her story was to play out, this glorious musical examines the complex figure who has become one of history’s most fascinating women. Determined to claim agency in a world ruled by men, the young Queen’s intelligence made her both a powerful force and a woman with a target on her back. Following her rise from young woman, to queen of the realm, to her fall from grace and infamous fate, Anne Boleyn: The Musical is an intimate look at the woman, not the queen, that wore the crown.
