‘Diana, The Musical’ Review: A Royal Tragedy Turned Vacuous Rom-Com
4 / 10
Director Christopher Ashley, who heads La Jolla Playhouse where this production premiered, hands in a seamless and unfussy physical staging, on set designer David Zinn's royal-blue colonnade, an obvious gilded prison. But Ashley, a Tony winner for 'Come From Away,' offers no solution for the musical's narrative inertia, and Kelly Devine's choreography, a stock blend of mugging and scurrying, doesn't help. Though Diana's life ended in a frenzy, the musical whimpers to a conclusion, succumbing to its own lack of purpose.
DIANA Wears a Delightful, Dizzy Crown — Review
5 / 10
I will level with you. Diana, the new musical which just opened at the Longacre Theatre, is not 'good' by cis-hetero-patriarchal standards of quality. But let's decenter that trade and focus on what it approximates: a maxi-challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race blessedly mixed with a Simpsons parody of Evita (which, of course, they've already done). It has the preposterous high gloss of a Ru production, with The Simpsons' innate understanding of the overly-literal silliness that makes the form work.
