What is Diana: The Musical about?
Diana is a musical retelling of Princess Diana's life, from her marriage to Prince Charles and the tabloids' obsession with her, to the decline of her marriage to the royal heir.
"A princess thrust onto the world stage. The tabloid media captivated by her beauty and vulnerability. The globe's most celebrated monarchy disrupted. This is the story of the most famous woman of the modern age as she struggles to endure a spotlight brighter than any the world had ever known," the musical teases.
"Leading fiercely with her heart, Princess Diana stood up for her family, her country and herself. She defied expectations, she rocked the royals and she created a legacy that will endure forever."
Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, the Tony Award-winners behind musical Memphis, wrote Diana's book, music and lyrics, while Come From Away's Christopher Ashley directs the show.
