Diana: The Musical Movie Storyline. A live recording of the Broadway musical based on the life of Diana, Princess of Wales. Filmed at the Longacre Theatre in New York City during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll get to see Diana before she was thrust into the spotlight with her marriage to Prince Charles. We’ll also get to see how she navigated her new life as Princess of Wales in the royal family.
This film is a musical drama, so even though there are moments in Diana’s life that weren’t necessarily the greatest, the musical numbers should help make the dark moments less dark. There isn’t an official trailer for the musical yet, but hopefully, Netflix releases one soon. When they do, we’ll make sure to update you.
Diana The Musical tells the story of one of the most beloved women of modern times. Engaged to a prince she barely knows, 19-year-old Diana Spencer is thrust onto the world stage and, overnight, becomes the most famous woman in the world. As she struggles to navigate her way within the rigid structure of the royal family, Princess Diana finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage, eventually finding her voice by devoting herself to those in need. Forced to endure a media spotlight brighter than the world has ever known, Princess Diana defies all expectations to emerge as her own woman and create a legacy that will endure forever.
With an irresistible score written by Tony Award winners Joe Dipietro and David Bryan (Memphis), direction by Tony winner Christopher Ashley (Come From Away), choreography by Olivier Award winner Kelly Devine (Rock of Ages) and music supervision and arrangements by Olivier Award winner Tan Etsendrath (Come From Away), this unexpected and electrifying production brings the story you only thought you knew to vivid new life onstage.
Filmed in 2020, the performance features the show’s original cast including Jeanna de Waal (Kinky Boots, American Idiot) as Diana, Roe Hartrampf as Prince Charles, Erin Davie as Camilla Parker Bowles, and two-time Tony Award winner Judy Kaye as Queen Elizabeth.
