Jeanna de Waal played Diana in a recent reading of the show, directed by Christopher Ashley and I would love to see her continue with this project.

Am I being dumb and you're making a joke and this is Hedwig 2014 Broadway Revival set, or am I just being dumb?

It's definitely one of those.

Oh no. That young woman cannot act. At all. Ever. In anything.

She was my Glinda in Wicked and I thought she was great.

I loved her in Finding Neverland.

I didn’t see her in that, but I can imagine her being good in that role. She makes such broad strokes in her characterization, in my opinion. Roles such as Glinda and Lauren don’t suffer as much from that type of acting though I’m hearing she struggled in Waitress. Jeanna’s sister is a far better dramatic actress, her name is escaping me at the moment.

Dani? I saw her as Girl in Once a few years back and she was fantastic.

Yes, Dani is quite good. She actually looks closer to Diana.

I haven't listened to Memphis, but I like Joe DiPietro's Off-Broadway work (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, The Thing About Men). I'm interested in it.

Any ideas about casting? I know Jeana de Waal did a reading or workshop, but is she still involved?

Very, very, early for this thought, but I'm wondering if this will try and make it to Broadway. Considering both Christopher Ashley and Kelly Devine are involved I could see happening, especially since they brought Come From Away and Escape to Margaritaville to New York.

Get Your First Look at Princess Diana in Diana,a New Musical

British actress Jeanna de Waal will star in the production, which, if history tells us anything, is headed to Broadway.

If I remember correctly, I believe certain posters on these boards adamantly hate Jeanna de Waal, right?

Whether you like her or not, she will make a fine Diana, and the girl has serious pipes, so that's certainly a plus!

I had no idea she was British. I am oddly excited for this one.
