While this might be successful, I'm not sure its respectful of Diana. Yes, she was an LGBTQ ally and AIDS activist, but I'm not sure turning her life into a complete drag farce is the right optics.
Robert Harling has declined and halted any attempts at Steel Magnolias being done in drag. His sister died tragically and the show was made in her memory. There may have been a few SM drag parodies that have squeaked by, but he keeps tabs and stops them if he can.
Diana was a real person and she wasn't campy in the slightest. Great sense of humor when allowed it, but not campy.
