Anne Boleyn: The Musical

Her life

Anne Boleyn was a pivotal figure in English history, rising from a lady-in-waiting to become the second wife of King Henry VIII and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. Her charm and intelligence captivated Henry, leading him to break with the Catholic Church and establish the Church of England to annul his first marriage and marry her. However, Anne's marriage to Henry was fraught with tension, especially after failing to produce a male heir. Accused of treason, adultery, and incest, Anne was tried and found guilty in a highly controversial trial, leading to her execution by beheading at the age of 35.
