FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Diana
‘Diana’ review: A Lifetime Original Broadway show
5 / 10
The Caesars Palace buffet of camp, 'Diana' tells the story of an innocent, teenage Diana Spencer meeting eligible bachelor Prince Charles at a party, marrying him very quickly and then becoming trapped in the cold, stifling royal family. The fame, of course, led to her 1997 death in Paris. In the show, Di suffers from postpartum depression, commits self-harm, has extra-marital affairs, visits an AIDS ward and is hounded by the paparazzi - Lifetime Channel-sized events paired with some of the silliest lyrics you've ever heard.
‘Diana, The Musical’ Review: A Royal Tragedy Turned Vacuous Rom-Com
4 / 10
Director Christopher Ashley, who heads La Jolla Playhouse where this production premiered, hands in a seamless and unfussy physical staging, on set designer David Zinn's royal-blue colonnade, an obvious gilded prison. But Ashley, a Tony winner for 'Come From Away,' offers no solution for the musical's narrative inertia, and Kelly Devine's choreography, a stock blend of mugging and scurrying, doesn't help. Though Diana's life ended in a frenzy, the musical whimpers to a conclusion, succumbing to its own lack of purpose.
