A Princess Diana Musical Is Currently In Production

Because everything needs to be a musical nowadays, a project documenting the life of Princess Diana is in the works and is likely to be ready for the stage in 2019. The musical is titled, Diana.

Auditions are already underway and it’s scheduled to premiere at La Jolla Playhouse in California.

The musical will be set in 1981, the year that Diana famously married Prince Charles and became a member of the Royal family. The story will then go on to tell the story of the late princess in her twenties, exploring her relationship with Charles and his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

The official synopsis reads: “It’s 1981 and the world is hungry for a royal wedding — but is the 20-year-old bride prepared for what comes after? Following her fairytale union, Princess Diana faces a distant husband, an unmovable monarchy and overwhelming media scrutiny. But her modern perspective and remarkable compassion galvanizes a nation, even as it threatens the royal family’s hold on England.”
