A World Premiere About The Life Of Princess Diana
Amidst a life lived very much in the public eye, Lady Diana Spencer transcended the glitz, glamour and luxury of her royal status to become a cultural icon that truly cared about world issues and those less fortunate. Now the life of the people's princess is set to be the focus of a brand new musical from Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, the dynamic writing duo behind the recent Tony-winning Broadway smash Memphis.
A part of the brand new 2018/2019 season at San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse, the production will be helmed by resident artistic director Christopher Ashley, whose directed many a Broadway-bound Tony winner, including the 2015 local run of Come From Away.
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.

I laughed, I cried, I was heart broken.
As an Englishman who is the same age Princess Dianna, if she was still with us. I like Dianna Lost my Father, when i was 7. This show is incredible, Your cast is amazing, i have no critics of anyone. The voices strong, powerful, same as i would expect on Broadway. Thank you for putting Dianna's and Charles Story to Music, i was suspect at first when i heard of the show, but, so very pleased i went to see it for myself. One of the very best shows, i have seen in years. Thank you from refraining HRH Queen Elizabeth, funny and very well done. I would like to just make a suggestion, that i think would be another, Bring down the house moment. When Dianna is giving her story, she exits and the reporter comes forward. Play her real voice from the recordings. Would be earth shattering. I loved it, I am thankful I was lucky enough to see it here in my home State. Thank you, all. ... Read more
