A rock musical telling the story of Isabeau de Baviere, "The Most Evil Queen", but from her perspective, showing that she did what she had to do to protect herself in a world where everyone else was just as ruthless.

It premiered in Tokyo in January 2024.


This musical provides examples of:

  • Arc Words: "All of the (blank) belong to me!"
  • Black-and-Grey Morality: No one is innocent in this cutthroat world of medieval power politics.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: From her perspective, making it a deconstruction.
  • Good Colors, Evil Colors: Everyone aside from Joan of Arc, and Charles VII at his coronation presided over by her, wears black and red (red only for Isabeau), showing that they're all villains.
