I’m interested that they’re changing the structure. My fear is that it’ll end up like the SIDE SHOW revision. Technically maybe better, but far less fun.

This newly staged version of the show will see the tale split into two parts, with an older Diana both narrating and reflecting back on her life and that of her 19-year old self. As already revealed, leading the piece will be Kerry Ellis (Wicked, Anything Goes) and Maiya Quansah-Breed (original cast member of Six), playing the eponymous princess at different stages of her life. Joining them will be Loose Women favourite Denise Welch, guest starring in the role of the Queen.
In additional and freshly confirmed today, Come from Away and Wicked‘s Alice Fearn will take on the role of Camilla Parker Bowles. Playing Prince Charles will be Andy Coxon (West Side Story, Beautiful – The Carole King Musical). Jay Perry (Back To The Future, Hamilton) will play James Hewitt, Diana’s lover for half a decade. Aleyna Mohanraj (Annie Get Your Gun, The Secret Garden) will play Sarah Spencer, Diana’s sister. The production will also feature an ensemble cast of students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

Anyone going to the London concerts?

It was a wild night. So much booing and hissing at Charles and Camilla. Even though the show had horrible lighting and sound, I loved every single second of it and have been listening to the CR all day.

Someone I know said the same thing, he LOVED the concert, but said it felt like it needed more rehearsals and it had a bit of a trainwreck aspect to it, but he loved it regardless. Was it sold out?

Would love to hear how the new 2 Dianas in the concert worked!
