Overview
Synopsis
Diana The Musical tells the story of the beloved Princess of Wales and her struggles through a new lens, one of song and dance. From her first meeting with Charles to her death in 1997, Diana’s most iconic moments are recreated on the stage with dramatic flair; the hounding paparazzi, the fashion statements, and her dance performance at the Royal Opera House to name a few. Jam packed with iconic characters like Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, and, of course, Queen Elizabeth II, Diana The Musical highlights the challenges brought on by being the people’s princess and follows one of the most controversial love affairs in the world: Diana, Charles, and Camilla. Fans of the Royal Family will no doubt relish in the retelling of this well known tale as a reminder that fairy tales aren’t always as they seem.
