Review: THE DIANA MIXTAPE, HERE, Outernet
by Christiana Rose - Aug 1, 2025
There’s a new Queen in town, and her name is Keala Settle, with five pop princesses all called Diana, keen on stealing her limelight. The Diana Mixtape, currently lighting up HERE at Outernet, is a glitter-soaked, pop-powered celebration of the People’s Princess, unlike anything London has seen before. Blending drag spectacle, West End flair, and irresistible chart-toppers, this high-camp musical concert is less a traditional biopic and more a fabulously queer fever dream.
Review: DIANA at Theo Ubique
by Misha Davenport - Jun 2, 2025
DIANA THE MUSICAL, the ill-fated Broadway musical about the former Princess of Wales (a filmed version of which was one of the top “hate-watching”programs on Netflix last year) is enjoying its Midwest debut at Theo Ubique.
Review: THE AFRICAN COMPANY PRESENTS RICHARD III at The Black Rep At The Edison Theater On The Washington University Campus
by James Lindhorst - Sep 11, 2022
Each member of the cast disappears into their character to tell Carlyle Brown’s story. Standout Coda Boyce as Ann Johnson captivates the audience with her first appearance on stage and provides a consistent performance throughout both acts. In her characterization, she struggles to separate her characters, Ann in Richard III versus her Ann Johnson persona complicating the backstage relationship she has with James Hewitt, played skillfully by Cameron Jamarr Davis. Wali Jamal Abdullah’s performance as Papa Shakespeare provides lots of charm and a few laughs as he attempts to play the middleman to repair the relationship between Ann and James as a Cyrano de Bergerac-esque communication go between. Eric Dean White’s arrogant characterization as Steven Price conveys a remorseless inhumanity as he will stop at nothing to bury the African Company. The remainder of the cast is rounded out by Alex Jay as Sarah, Olajuwon Davis as Billy Brown, and Dustin Petrillo as The Contable-Man and each provide an extraordinary performance.
Student Blog: Was There Ever A Greater Tabloid Tale?
by Student Blogger: Kat Mokrynski - Jun 13, 2022
Diana has been on my mind for many years. In fact, I actually wrote about it in quite a few of my earlier articles, constantly stating that it would be the first show that I wanted to see once Broadway reopened. If only I knew just how much of an impact this show would have on my life.

BWW Album Review: DIANA's Cast Recording Isn't Quite a Crown Jewel
by Amanda Prahl - Sep 29, 2021
Diana attempts a throwback-pastiche score with baffling moments of camp to tell the story of an uber-famous blonde whose relationship with the press both made her and destroyed her. And, like Bombshell, the score to Diana vacillates between quite off-the-mark and genuinely affecting.
