Grab your first look at Diana at the La Jolla Playhouse!

News Desk, March 5th, 2019

Opened on March 3.

The brand new musical, which depicts the life of Princess Diana, opened at the La Jolla Playhouse on March 3. Take a look at the cast in action in these first look photos! 

The musical, which is directed by Christopher Ashley, features music and lyrics by David Bryan and Joe DiPietro respectively with choreography by Kelly Devine. Jeanna de Waal stars as the "people's princess" with Judy Kaye as Queen Elizabeth II Erin Davie as Camilla Parker Bowles and Roe Hartrampf as Prince Charles. 

What is Diana about?

The musical is set in 1981, a very important year in the young Diana's life. Married to Charles, Prince Of Wales in July of that year, the 20-year old faces obstacles far removed from the fairy-tale nature of the wedding to end all weddings. Under the constant glare of the media lens, her husband becomes more and more distant as she becomes aware of the restrictions of joining an unmovable monarchy. When she holds firm to her ideals, using compassion and modern thinking to promote peace, she threatens the very foundations of British royalty.

Diana is now playing at the Mandell Weiss Theater through to April 14.
