Ah, I hadn't realized the video didn't include the full song, but you can hear them going at it in the full song if you have a streaming music service.

It can't be worse than this. She must be spinning in her grave.

Same! It had a really campy, rocky 80s feel to it, which I thought fit the source material. Saw the first preview and it was a fluffy, fun night of theatre. Hardly going to be a critical darling, but I don't regret spending the money for tickets. Sometimes it's okay for theatre to just be entertainment for a couple hours.

Had to use airline miles before they expire so planning a mini trip November 2 - 4. (three shows) Didn't have much to choose from. (would have chosen Morning at Seven if had Tuesday night performance,) So I picked Diana. We kind of like the same things. Why will people rip it apart? My other two shows are Caroline Or Change and Doubtfire.

The full album is finally out! Full thoughts upon first listen would be welcome, everyone.

I've listened twice through the entire album this morning, and it's... not very good. I like a couple of the songs (Pretty, Pretty Girl and If), but overall this is very bland. I was planning to see this on my November trip, but this cast album has me rethinking that decision. I will definitely watch the Netflix filming next week, and I am really looking forward to it. If I don't like the Netflix filming though, I will definitely be picking another show to fill the slot I currently have reserved for this.

I like a good amount of this! Not all of it, but I can take it. I'm excited to see it live.

I'm thankful cast albums are slowly trickling out again.

How can anybidy just not accept or respect different opinions? 🙄
I don't get why some people are just rude against others, only because they don't agree with them!?
Posted: 9/24/21 at 4:28pm
Looking forward to watching this on Netflix.
Posted: 9/24/21 at 4:31pm
Wow this is worse than I remember. I'm excited to watch next week!

Not sorry, this is a truly dreadful score with awful lyrics, it's embarrassing.

I remember when Broadway was dark and people missed it. But now Broadway is back, and here we are.

Ditto! That makes 3 of us! I'm hoping and praying for a Company cast recording,too. I want it so much,especially since I probably won't get to see it in person.
I plan to watch "Diana" on Netflix. I was an admirer of the real Princess.

Every time I listen to Memphis I'm struck by the lack of nuance or subtly in the lyrics. It's all just so very obvious and bland, so wasn't expecting much from this. But some catchy stuff. I'll def be watching on Netflix!
Posted: 9/24/21 at 7:14pm
The lyrics in Memphis are often non specific and the majority of the songs can easily be performed out of context. Diana is the opposite. The lyrics, while often unpolished, are very specific so much so that it would likely be difficult to perform any of the songs out of context without explaining that the song is from the Diana musical. The one exception, perhaps, being Camilla's "I Miss You Most on Sundays."
