Following a Broadway run and a viral Netflix recording, Joe DiPietro and David Bryan's new bio-musical makes its way to London this December! Following the ''People's Princess,'' as she moves from unknown aristocrat to the Princess of Wales and onwards to cultural icon, Diana dives into all the glitz, glamor, and heartbreak, to discover the real woman behind it all.
Brought to London by the team behind the Tony-winning musical Memphis, Diana will star West End veteran Kerry Ellis as Diana as the older Diana, Princess of Wales, with Maiya Quansah-Breed as young Diana Spencer and Denise Welch as the Queen!
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.
