First listen to Anne Boleyn the Musical

Anne Boleyn the Musical has revealed the first number from the upcoming production.

Playing at Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, throughout August, the new musical will be performed in a specially constructed 1,800-seat outdoor auditorium in the castle’s grounds.

Exploring Boleyn’s early life and rise to the English court in the 16th century, the piece follows her departure from her family and her time at the royal courts of Flanders and France, leading to her return to England, where she would eventually capture the attention of King Henry VIII.

Directed by Roxana Silbert, with a book by Rebecca Night, lyrics by Night and Sam Kenyon, and music composed by Sam Gevers, it’ll be the UK’s first outdoor production featuring binaural sound, designed by Ben and Max Ringham and recorded by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Leading the cast will be Emily Lane in the title role, with Mark Goldthorp as Henry VIII.

Anne Boleyn the Musical plays at Hever Castle from 2 to 30 August 2025, with a gala press night on Wednesday 6 August.
